Yeah, the advertising worked on me. I'm a sucker. But I like lemonade. It's hot so I like things frozen. So why not? The advertisements have been going on and on about the .75 Ice Flow lemonade during their happy hour from 2-5 PM daily. It comes in two flavors, regular lemon and everyone's favorite summer flavor..strawberry lemonade. Naturally, i wanted the strawberry one. So Jason and I ventured over to the only Long John Silver's in Little Rock (off University and Col. Glenn/Asher). If I was going to try it, I was definitely going to try it at it's discounted rate of $.75 (If you need more proof check out their website). Alas, we make it to LJS only to be greeted by a sign that says you can purchase the lemonade during happy hour for $.85. I'm no math genius, but I'm sure that's a whole $.10 more than the advertisements on TV...but we've driven all the way over there AND frankly, .10 isn't enough really to argue about I guess. So we proceed to the drive-thru speaker box. I ordered Lemon for my dad and Jason, and strawberry for myself...I've had quite a day already so it was only appropriate that they were OUT of the strawberry!! Ugh! Okay, fine...the lemon is fine for everyone. When I took my first sip, I was shocked that it was frozen...I guess that's the "ice" portion of the name...I just thought they meant it was really cold. The TV commercial makes it look "liquidy" (is that a word?), but I guess not. At any rate, with a heat index of 105, frozen works for me. It's not bad. It's cold, it's icy and tastes like lemonade. So if you're hot and need to be refreshed, try it. But, beware that the Happy Hour price of $.75 obviously doesn't apply at the Little Rock location--it also doesn't come in the cool clear cups. Oh, and go early if you want strawberry. :)
