A blast from the past

Yesterday, we had an halfhour to spare in-between things, and so we decided to find somewhere to eat ice cream. We ended up at Mc Donald's, as I wanted to introduce Marius to McFlurry with daim (which I just love). Well, once inside I noticed a large poster about a brand new flavor - McFlurry with OREOS!

Now, of course those of you in the US know what this means. For the others reading this post, though, I can tell you that when I lived in the US for a year, I was obsessed with Oreo Blizzards from Dairy Queen. I would go out of my way to buy it, and once I returned to Norway, I vowed to get Dairy Queen to Norway.

Well, no such luck. But a while later McDonald's introduced McFlurry, which is quite similar. But they only had daim, and not oreos as topping. That same summer I interrailed across Europe, and everywhere I came, I checked whether McDonald's had McFlurry with oreos. But to no avail, there was no McFlurry with oreo to be found anywhere.

Until now, over 10 years later. So, while Marius was introduced to McFlurry with daim, I of course went for the oreo one. And, yes, it was good! :) But, believe it or not (and I know some of you might find it hard to believe), I actually prefer the daim one! How's that for irony? I once spent so much time finding this flavour, and now that it's freely available to me, I prefer the one I could eat all along... Well, I guess that's a good example of "the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence".
