Transcript

Pipi Kai one two two says they need this drink immediately. So No, what are we waiting for? Pipi Kai one two two. We got you, king. Let's give it a try. Welcome back to 30 Rank in thirty Days, where where we try a new drink better day no we can build a winter menu that doesn't suck. That's really good. That's like the most chocolaty hot chocolate I've ever had. It tastes closer to, like, a drinking chocolate. World grads moving forward. The only downside is there's no coffee in it. Maybe it'd be good with coffee. I would drink that better day. Remember some Carlton student wrote an article saying we have the worst hot chocolate in Northfield? Come give this a try. Culver's closes in fifty six minutes. We gotta go. Culver's is almost closed. It's dinner time. Twenty more days. See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow.
