picture this
you've driven 2300 miles in the last 48 hours and slept in the cab of your truck the night before because your reservations for a motel room in the local town, you confirmed at least two months previously were meaningless, because the motel chain changed owners between your call and arriving in Colorado.
its about 4am opening day of ELK season, 4 guys are trying to fix breakfast on the tailgate of a crew cab pickup truck, they slept in, its 10 degrees and windy and we have two rather feeble flash lights, we slept in the truck sitting up and were all 90% asleep, I pour a cup of coffee and grab a couple packs of POP-TARTS throw those in my vest for breakfast, to munch on as we walk into the elk hunt area in near total darkness, and grab what I think is a packet of SWISS_MISS COCO and dump it into my Styrofoam coffee,cup, to make moca.
I take a gulp and Im about 2/3rds into swallowing when my frozen brain starts screaming POISON, I START GAGGING and PUKE
when your minds thinking MOCA?,
COCO,HOT CHOCOLATE/MIXED WITH COFFEE
and you take a big gulp of hot coffee mixed with only partly dissolved raspberry, diet jello mix,
your mind FREAKS OUT
its been 35 years since that morning and I still gag when I smell raspberry
I don,t know how a pack of that crap got placed in the box of supplies we all purchased the night before in a local town, grocery but it was a huge and unpleasant surprise ,to find it mixed with my coffee..
