Buy your tonsils a parka!

Tomorrow is Friday. My calendar says it's "Good Friday." I scratched that out and wrote in "Great Friday!" What makes it so great? Well tomorrow is the deadline for submissions to the "BrainFreeze Challenge" where you, my loyal reader, will have the opportunity to cause me, and perhaps yourself, painful brainfreeze with krystals latest creations: The Krystal Slushies.
Sadly, due to the overwhelming number of submissions (zero) the deadline has been extended one day. This is due to the fact I have been recruited for a special mission. My brother and his wife, Amy, are Parrotheads and Jimmy Buffett is coming to Raleigh. The obvious solution would be for him to get himself some tickets at Ticketmaster (I won't provide a link to them because they suck and I hate them.) Well in order to prevent scalping, TicketTyrant won't allow my brother, who lives in VA to buy tickets in NC. So they picked up the red phone and placed a call. Sadly, I was in class when the call came in here at the Krystal Kave. So they then went to the back yard and shined the K spotlight up in the sky, and I came running.
Tomorrow early, I will be at the local grocery store with a TicketJerk outlet to buy my brother some Buffett tickets (and pay outlandish extra fees thanks to TicketLoser).
This will prevent me from making a run to Krystal tomorrow. So the deadline for submissions to the Krystal Adventure Brainfreeze Challenge will be accepted up until about 10am on Saturday.
Remember the rules for the challenge I laid out earlier this week.
  1. You go to Krystal
  2. You buy a Krystal Freeze
  3. You take a picture of yourself with the frosty beverage
  4. You send the picture to me at JasonJ1052@aol.com
  5. Optionally, include a brief description of your frozen delight
Once I arrive at Krystal in Murrell's Inlet tomorrow I will purchase one of each flavor that get submitted. I will line them up on my table, and drink them one after another until I either finish them or my skull cracks like the Polar Ice Cap. Currently with no submission, it looks as if I will be hot and thirsty for lunch on Saturday.
The original intent of the challenge was so I could find out what flavors are to be featured. Imagine my surprise when I get a comment to the above post from "Brian" (not that Brian, a different one) at krystalist.com. Apparently he's now running the online source for up to the second Krystal info, pictures, and other deliciousness. Right there in big pretty print are the 7 new flavors:
  • Orange
  • Cherry
  • Green Apple
  • Grape
  • Pomegranate
  • Blueberry
  • Coca Cola
While this may seem like I will be forced to drink 7 different Krystal Freezes, remember the rules state you MUST send a picture of yourself with the frozen beverage. So your mission remains unchanged. (I do however very much appreciate the complete list, Brian!)
I have only had a brief chance to peek at the web site but was drawn into a video clip taken at the Krystal Test Kitchen. If you watch close, you'll actually get a quick glimpse of the part of the kitchen I was "allowed" to photograph while I was there almost 2 years ago.
So while I am on my Buffett mission tomorrow, your mission is to go get a Krystal Freeze, take your picture, then send it in! You'll appreciate it, and so will I! At least until I run screaming in pain around the dining room at Krystal on Saturday.
Krystal Lovers like hot buns.
