The Battle of the Ostensibly Cherry-Flavored Beverages

McDonald's Cherry Berry Chiller vs. Panera's Black Cherry Smoothie!

Cherry Berry Chiller: Tastes like a mixture of grape and apple juice with maybe a little raspberry and cherry in there if you use your imagination.

Black Cherry Smoothie: Tastes like fucking cherries, yo.

I'm not saying that the Cherry Berry Chiller is bad. I'm just saying that it

Being a big cherry fan, I rushed to Micky D's to try the new cherry chiller. Like you, I could barely taste anything that resembled cherry in the slushy drink. It' was still good, but not what I expected. Wish I lived near a Panera, A black Cherry Smoothie sounds heavenly :-)

I'm glad it's not just me--I know grape and apple juice are cheaper but... come on McDonalds! Don't call it a cherry drink if it barely tastes like cherries. But yeah, cherries are awesome~<3. If you happen to find yourself in a Panera anytime soon, I'd definitely recommend the black cherry smoothie.

I don't like cherries as you know, BUT this reminded me. I got a bread bowl at Panera a few days ago and OMG it made me so happy. I haven't had one since before I stopped eating meat, because I used to get it with the broccoli cheese soup which is stupidly not vegetarian. I just remembered you talking about the bread bowls last time I was home and so I thought I would share my joy.

Then maybe you'd like the McDonalds drink because it doesn't taste like cherries!

Bread bowls are awesome. I had one just today with the chicken tortilla soup, but for the vegetarian option the black bean is really delicious too.

But I don't like grape-flavored stuff either! Though I do like grapes.

Black bean soup is my favorite thing there, but they didn't have that when I got my bread bowl so I just got the vegetable pesto, which was good too. Plus Panera is just awesome because of the whole "add a baked good for one dollar" thing.

Ah... well... well... the frozen strawberry lemonade is still good, I guess!

Black Bean is what I get most often because the Paneras around here usually have them pretty much every time I go there. I haven't had the vegetable pesto before, but I bet it's good.

I wuv Panera.
