Transcript

Was the most popular drink order over the weekend? I wanna say it was the blueberry latte, but let me double check. Droppingly, again, it's still the caramelized banana latte. We sold 709. Holy fuck. We did just find out that was for a few days, not just one day, but let's see if we rank get that in one day this weekend. Okay. The reigning fucking champ. Caramelized banana caramelized banana latte with whole milk. Sorry, mama was up till midnight last night, so the brain is not fully fucking on, but it will be. Holy fuck. This is so fucking good. But I have one little question for you guys. Like this video if we should bring back black raspberry chip for the summer. Bye.
