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:
- A milkshake in New England
- 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.
Tomorrow: National Fluffernutter Day
