October 7: National Frappe Day.

This one scared me. I don’t do coffee, okay? I don’t even “do coffee” when it’s mixed with caramel and chocolate and ice cream. I don’t like the smell. I hate the taste (it makes me retch). What’s a girl to do on national FRAPPE day? Well, a girl turns to the internet. Does frappe MEAN coffee? As it turns out, no.

From Wikipedia:

Frappé may refer to:

  • A frozen fruit-flavored dessert made with shaved ice, similar to sherbet
  • Frappé coffee, an iced coffee beverage made from instant coffee
  • Le temps frappé, a French term for musical downbeat

Frappe may refer to:

  • An Italian name for angel wings, a sweet, crisp pastry made with deep-fried dough

So, I did what any anti-coffee person who needed to drink a “frappe” would do: I got a fruit “frappe” from McDonald’s. Sorry I’m not sorry for not drinking coffee.
