I used to absolutely love Mel’s Cool Cap at Einstein’s Bagels. Especially with chocolate. It was a magical, mystical treat of untold awesomeness. There was a time when I would get one every Saturday morning with my wife.
Then, one day, I went to get one while at work. I had a pretty free job where I was able to take breaks when and where I wanted (within reason)… I would sometimes even stop for breakfast while on the job. This was one such occasion.
I ordered a Cool Cap, took a swig and nearly PUKED! The milk was rotten. I talked to the store manager about it, and she refused to actually check the milk. She said that her refrigerator was working and that the date on the milk was good. After a few minutes of dealing with her refusal to actually check the milk in any manner, I finally settled for a plain ol coffee. I added creamer to it.. In retrospect, I overpaid for that coffee by a few bucks, and I should have probably just got my money back.
I don’t order the Cool Cap very often anymore… only on rare occasions, and it just doesn’t seem to taste as good to me anymore.
