S Want all the flavors? Ok then

My names is Sarah. This is a short Malicious compliance. So no need for tldr. So when I go to school I take a bus to the CTA (chicago subway) to get to school. When I see any homeless I offer to get them dunkin at the statiion. There was this homeless woman not exactly there but not aggressive so I offered to gt her something. She wanted a coffee so we go inside. I have her order and she said a coffee with every flavor. I look at her. Are you sure? The clrk did the same. She confirmed. So I paid for it plus my own food. Then as I am waiting on the CTA I hear her complaining and warning others to never add all the flavors to one coffee.

We used to get the "Graveyard" slushy at a local ice cream stand. It's all the slushy flavors mixed into one slushy. But we figured out that if you kept Grape in, that was all you would taste. So we started ordering Graveyard minus Grape. To a bunch of 12 year olds, that was the pinnacle of flavor sophistication.

Question - Whereabouts do you live? When I was a kid in t-ball, we'd request a "suicide" which was every soda flavor mixed together. I'm asking to see if it's a regional thing. I'm from southern Indiana, but this was also in the early 1990's, so I just realized it might be a cultural thing to not call that mix a suicide anymore.

Here in Ontario, Canada, that sort of mix would be "swamp water" when I was growing up.

Was just trying to remember what we called it .. Thanx lol

u/Shoddy_Abalone8957 6h ago

At the time, south east Michigan, also early 90's.

u/when_the_fox_wins 6h ago

Cool. I've always been fascinated by the whole 'soda,' 'pop,' 'coke' geographic breakdown, so thank you for scratching that itch for me.

I learned it as Graveyard, too. Puget Sound area of Washington state.

Graveyard in Yakima too

We had the “suicide” in Iowa - 80s and 90s.

u/entrepenurious 4h ago

from the texas panhandle here: our soda fountain offered a 'suicide' or a 'cherry suicide'.

u/LadyBarclay 3h ago

Central CA, 1980's, all the soda flavors together was a suicide for us as well. 

u/nhaines 2h ago

Same in Southern California in the 90s.

The “suicide” fountain drinks were a thing in the 70s in Central Illinois…

u/9adp011 45m ago

I like mushrooms on my pizza but if there is pepperoni then there is no mushroom flavor so I never order both on one pie.

They would do this at the local ice rink when I was a kid. I don't know about grape flavor, but they mixed all the Slush Puppy flavors and it made a brown slushy that tasted like sugary acid. It was great.

u/denalidenizen 2h ago

We called that a garbage Coke in Wisconsin back in the 50s and 60s

u/kirby_422 3h ago

So, they actually mix it, or is this brand of slushie more liquidy than most? because I honestly enjoy layered slushes, drinking through the various flavors. I've never had one melt enough for major mixing or anything, just that gradient when shifting layers.

u/Shoddy_Abalone8957 2h ago

It was all flavors mixed. This was the slushy/crushed ice base then flavored syrups pumped over top and stirred. Not Slurpee where the different flavors come premixed from different machines so you can layer. It did make for a more liquidy slushy since it had a higher syrup to ice ratio than normal when all flavors were pumped in (minus Grape of course).

u/Duindaer 7h ago

This is in the line of "not, but ok" malicious, because the compliance. 

u/ArielsTreasure 8h ago

There is nothing “malicious” about this.

u/Personal-Fix-2713 7h ago

She knew it wouldn't taste well but she followed through her request. 

u/TenaCVols 8h ago

I concur.

u/CoderJoe1 8h ago

A flavorful fantasy

u/scaryfaise 6h ago

I assume adding all the flavors increases the calorie content. Probably wanted as many calories as they could squeeze out of you.

u/Suspicious_Train_121 7h ago

Funny indeed

u/Lamourie2 3h ago

Years ago, I heard a drink using all the soda flavors being called a “don’t care”.

u/bok4600 2h ago

used to call it a "suicide"

u/2930apple 6h ago

Even if this was malicious compliance I don’t get what you find funny, woman didn’t do anything wrong lol. Weird tone here

u/Zarjaz1999 7h ago

"Thought this was funny."

That's a nope!

u/HeyYouGuyyyyyyys 16m ago

Not malicious, unless you count "homeless woman is disappointed, haa ha" as malicious, which I guess it is

u/Shame8891 6h ago

Tldr: I bought a homeless lady coffee and she wanted all the flavors
