Frescata!
A couple of weeks ago, GTB and I drove by a Wendy’s and noticed that their sign said, “Try our new Frescata!”
“Oooh, what’s a Frescata?” we wondered aloud. It sounds so fresh, so fruity, so refreshing.
My guess was that it’s a Slurpee-like concoction of Fresca and ice, all blended together in a cold, crisp, citrusy bit o’ heaven. Everytime I pass that Wendy’s (which I do daily, since it’s on my way to work) I salivate at the thought of slurping up a Frescata.
Then, a few days ago, I was watching TV and saw an ad for Wendy’s new sandwich. Turns out, the Frescata is a meaty sandwich on a greasy bun. There’s nothing “frescata” about that! That’s just gross.
So now that I’ve apparently invented what could be the new “It” drink, I’m going to have to think of a new name. I’m bummed that Frescata is already taken by an artery-clogging piece of fast food shit. But I’ll get over it when the profits from my new beverage invention start flowing in.

Oh, Girl…I, too, love a Fresca. In recent months, I’ve spotted black cherry and peach mutations at Target, though for my vodka-diluting pleasure (or is it the other way around?), the unadulterated original version can’t be beat. In fact, I find a splash or three of icy cold Absolut Citron best complements our beloved’s zippy and unimitable citrus bouquet. Too bad you’re quitting drinking. ‘Cause I’m not.

How about “Fucking Great!” for a soda name? OK Soda went under because they weren’t ambitious enough–this might be the next Clear Pepsi. Who wouldn’t order it if they saw it on the menu?

Orgasm in a can would sell. I bet!

Did you know “Frescata” means “fresh shit” in Greek? Look it up on Wikipedia.
