So I just stumbled across this old TikTok hack, where a girl puts a shot of espresso and vanilla syrup into a Macca’s frozen coke, and I had to try it for myself.
The hack tickled my fancy because sometimes a coffee at 9pm is well, gross. But a coke at 9pm on the other hand? Fabulous. Now a coke with coffee in it? That’s some real god tier shit right there.
The original TikTok was posted by @elenapajkovska in June, but since then has been reshared by News.com.au. I know I’m late on this TikTok, but once a hack, always a hack. So here we go.
@elenapajkovska Don’t knock it till you try it 🤷🏻♀️ #fyp #foryoupage #mcdonalds #australia #coffee #frozencoke
I pull up into the Macca’s drive through and two girls (around 16) serve me unenthusiastically. When I order the drink combo, they give me this weird look to suggest that they know this hack, and are judging me for being so late on the bandwagon.
I open the top of my frozen coke to see the brown goodness inside (ok, that sounds wildly inappropriate, but I promise it’s not).
I give it a wee little stir. And yes I know I need to cut my nails.
I take the first sip and I immediately teleport into another dimension. Not really, my tastebuds are just confused as hell.
Ok, it’s kind of weird. But just like when I had my first craft beer, I’m going to keep going until I enjoy the taste.
Hmmm it’s actually growing on me. I think I might actually like it. Yes, I actually really like it.
I thought I would add a nice photo of myself on the off-chance McDonald’s sees this, and wants to use me as a sponsor.
The Verdict
It’s actually pretty good, I think I might actually order this again. It’s definitely a better alternative to the the snapback-king and energy drink, Mother. Do people still drink that? I used to get one every day after school like an absolute mad-man. I’m surprised I’m still here to tell the story.
I digress though, I stand by the fact this combo is god-tier shit. I give it 8/10.
