the good with the bad

so last night we went to max brenner to celebrate the first snow of 2013 with some of their hugmug hot chocolate.
 we all know this.

we met some friends and ordered our hot chocolate, excited to test out these hugmugs.  i stayed traditional and went with the milk chocolate topped with whipping cream.  when the waitress brought our drinks to us, 3 out of 4 of the them looked like this:

tall glass with a metal straw.  i was so disappointed. i still don't know why 3 of us had the tall glass with the metal straw and i wasn't assertive enough to find out or raise a big stink. well, at least one of us had the gem we were all expecting:

the hugmug

i think the only thing that made it all kind of okay was the fact that the hot chocolate was dreamy good.  so perfectly chocolate-y.  i'm still bugged that i didn't get the whole hugmug experience... but all in all it's alright.  there is more to life - way more to life. it means i can go back on another freezing cold day to warm my soul (and specifically ask for hot chocolate in the cool mug).  i can also experience it anytime i want because... i bought a hugmug on the way out! ha.

YAY!  how's that for problem-solving!?

there are even recipes for homemade hot chocolate on the box!  score.
