Summer's approaching fast and I thought that it would be a good time to discuss the milkshake business with my mates. We have several good flavors so far, but we need to have more of a variety to attract more customers.
Lottie was dead-set on having more pink milkshakes. Strawberry, raspberry, you name it. I told her that this would be a risk idea, since a more balanced variety of colors would look more appealing (and besides, I prefer to make the chocolate and caramel drinks our main draw), but she just said that I was throwing too much of a fuss about it.
"Well, if we're going to have more pink drinks, we should have more drinks of different colors to, just to make things even," Gemma said. And I definitely agreed with her on that.
And then Marlene said "What about if we did some hybrid milkshakes?", and we ALL loved that idea. Smartie wrote down all the combos we suggested and we came up with LOADS. Strawberry and chocolate, strawberry and caramel, strawberry and raspberry, caramel and chocolate and even strawberry, chocolate, raspberry and caramel. Of course, Smartie then said that just relying on those flavors wouldn't be a wise idea for business, so we threw in combo ideas involving banana, kiwi, vanilla, you name it.
We had so many ideas by the end that it would take too long to list them here for now. We're still thinking about catchy names for them, but I'm sure we'll think of something eventually.
Anyway, catchy names or no catchy names, we almost sold out of them this morning! People really liked the idea of them it seems. Which is impressive considering that our milkshake stall so far is just a cardboard box in the middle of the street. Oh well, I'm sure we'll get a new one sorted out soon.
As for today's fight in Xtreme's ring, it kind of sucked. I was up against this buff-looking dude named Chris and he seemed like he would be a good opponent. But the only attack he did was this blast of energy that shot the wrong way and I only needed to kick him in the groin in order to win. Barely anyone was clapping because it was so mediocre. Even Xtreme wasn't impressed.
Oh well, at least we sold a crap ton of milkshakes during that time. Just like we did earlier in the morning. And it seems that the people in the crowd enjoyed them (especially moreso than the "fight" they had to watch). In fact, so far I have a tenth of the money I need to get my new room sorted out. If it carries on like this for the next few days, it's all gonna be a breeze! :D
