Everyone is sleeping on Andy’s! Just because they only do custard and not other food doesn’t mean they can’t win.

 

Sure we all know UIL values a wide range of options, but I think Andy’s can finally steal a state spot and upset a perineal state participant.

 

In other band news, go marching bands.

 

I consider them the Keller of this competition.....really the only "lock".  It's custard....and who doesn't like custard.  Especially when you can add virtually any topping or candy inside of it...……..

 

Ok...….now I want some Andy's custard...…

That’s what I was going to suggest. Cut both in half down the middle and sew them together. I would TOTALLY do it for you if you lived close by.

That's what the livonian family did last year with the Henny Weiss split.

Funny you should mention that, Keller is getting an Andy’s just south of their stadium. It looks really close to opening.

Ok. I must speak. Not one person has mentioned Cane's! Their special sauce, those crinkle fries, and that Texas toast that's actually Texas-sized?! They may be the underdog, but I see great potential for them. They may not be in Chick-fil-A's caliber, but give them a chance!

Also, Concession Stand has my vote, too. No hype. Just good food. Who doesn't want a funnel cake? (And yes, all 3 BISD bands gain much-needed fundraising dollars from this, especially after having to cancel the Festival earlier this season.)

I mean Cane's is okay but they really just copied Bush's Chicken.

oh, GREAT!!  Now we have to decide on Andy's vs. Freddy's!!!!

 

See what you've done?!?!?

Canes and Bush’s are soooooo different apart from the fries. The sauce!!

This! And truth be told, my favorite crinkle fries are at Braum's. Uhm But Cane's secret is in the sauce!

Might I recommend that if you like strawberries and chocolate, you grab Andy's "snowmonster." It's amazing!

I can’t believe not one person has mentioned Starbucks this season. They are so bold and so innovative. Not to mention the incredible aroma they produce. Very underestimated this year in my book.

I'm concerned they are just getting by based on their early history which seemed much stronger. They're still very good but other than being so big, do they really stand out anymore? So many others to consider now and I feel like they have slipped. But maybe it's just me. My daughter loves them.

That's right! My Concession Stand support ($$$) just tripled.

You do have a point there, and let's not forget that their band fees are ridiculous!

I was trying to figure out the right way to work the cost into my comment but couldn't find the phrase to make it work. Yours made me laugh so hard I had two Pit Bulls and a Min Pin looking at me wondering what situation they needed to step into. Both breeds are definitely poractive problem solvers.

[LeanderMomma]

We have certainly gotten a lot of mileage out of this tangent we all went off on.

[Percmom21]

I know it's probably hard to believe....but I've never had Starbucks. lol Not a huge coffee drinker, don't like it fancy and I have a home business so I don't have any reason to go buy coffee. Weird huh? :-)

I'm not much of a coffee drinker either.  The only time I really drink it is at Super Regional.

[LeanderMomma]

This is heresy I tell ya!

I'll drink it when it's really really cold and then only one cup.

 

Ironically I do like the salted caramel iced coffee that Aldi's carries this time of year.I only discovered that because my son asked me to buy some for him and I obliged last year. I've bought a few this year for us both but forget they are there soon after and finally drank one when I saw him with one.  

[1998-2018]

Concession Stands often have both coffee and hot chocolate. If you ask for it they will sell you a cup with half of each.

I don't drink coffee, either! I'm one of those weird "I actually really like water" people. If I have anything, it's tea. Starbucks does have yummy tea, but I don't go there often.

[LostChoirGuy]

I have only been to starbucks a small handful of times and it was because someone gave me a gift card. I got the peppermint hot chocolate, which was decent but nowhere near worth the price. I dont drink coffee either and as many of you have said, water is my beverage of choice.
