In a moderately successful bid to impress his date, Betoota local and confirmed big unit Jack “Jacko” Jackson has strategically pretended to consider several exotic ice-cream flavours, before selecting the only one he is actually prepared to consume; Mint Choc Chip.
“Hmmm, I’m just not sure” Jacko was overheard saying as he rubbed his chin and squinted through the drool-proof glass.
“Chai Cinnamon DeLuxe sounds amazing, but what about Lychee Pomegranate Citrus Twist? Wait, they even have Green Tea Nutmeg Swirl and Mulberry Cumquat Sorbet? Wow, this place has so many flavours I just can’t decide!”
Finally, after satisfying himself that date Sarah had been suitably impressed with his apparent knowledge of the distinctly un-masculine decoy flavours, some of which he had pronounced correctly, Jacko was ready to make his selection.
“You know, I think I’ll go old-skool, just a double Mint Chop Chip thanks mate” he said, ordering the only flavour he has ever ordered in the hundreds of times he has been here before.
Sarah, who may have been impressed, but who also happened to be wearing an outfit that made any similar attempt to impress her date unnecessary, did not feel the need to repeat the charade; “Chocolate please”.
