Screw You Jamba Juice - Part 2
Just got back from the holiday and went for my morning drink…
Damn it! I was ranting a while back when Jamba changed the menu and got rid of the Powerboost. Later found out, you can still order the drink, its just not on the menu. They had the ingredients, minus the boost part. So I lived happily — going to my local Jamba as much as possible. I often noticed that I was the only one there. Sign? I told Kim before the holidays that I wouldn’t be surprised if it closed eventually. Well, that was over the holidays.
Kim’s favorite Starbucks next door to this location closed mid last year too. The plaza just seems to be great for us (right on our way into town) but bad for others. Guess they didn’t generate enough traffic.
So I am mad and sad. Now I am going to try to make it myself in the Vit-a-mix blender here at home. I have the ingredients but not the proportions. Apparently that is the patented formula that they do not share. I think they should share it — once a drink goes off the menu. What’s the secret then? They never brought it back out so no harm.
So my breakfast today - a Panera bagel and a Diet Mountain Dew. Tasty!
