It's Friday night and I should be out partying but I'm beat. So, I'm veggin' out in front of the TV watching the weeknight CSI marathon and whatever else is on. But something caught my attention while watching CSI on Spike tonight: a Dunkin' Donuts commercial. It goes without saying that I love Dunkin' Donuts and have many fond memories of eating their delectable pastries when i'm on the East Coast. (I have yet to find one in the Bay Area).
I remember when I was in Boston how blown away I was that there was no line at the Starbucks because everyone was waiting for their coffee and pastry at the Dunkin'. But now it seems they're competing with Starbucks (why bother, their stock has sunk so low Micky D's is kicking their ass). Yet, they're making fun of the wacky "fritalian" lingo frou frou coffee places like Sbux use. (trust me, i was a barista for six years - it ain't all hoity-toity haute java.)
I digress . . .
The commercial itself is annoying, which works well to get the message through, I guess. But the one thing that caught my eye and counted as my "cosi petite" moment of the day was one of the crazy coffee concoctions they had listed on the menu board: himen plu centa.
That was my definite LOL moment - and i didn't even indulge in the beer we had at the office this afternoon. or . . . more appropriately . . . my momentus grossus of the day.
* By the way cosi petite is "fritalian" small things.
