"  It was an opportunity I couldn&amp;#039;t pass up. Friday afternoon, my friend let me know that SONIC, the fast-food drive-in chain that has yet to open a location anywhere near me, parked a truck beside our office building to give away free shakes. I headed down expecting to sample the usual fare, which was just fine with me. Whether you call it an Oreo shake or a cookies &amp;#039;n cream one, I could eat one every day (and have been known to in the summer). And while I did get an Oreo shake (mixed with peanut butter!), I also tried a treat I never thought I&amp;#039;d taste. When the people manning the truck offered me a Chocolate-Covered Jalape\u00F1o shake, my first instinct was to recoil in disgust. I like spicy things. I like sweet things. I just don&amp;#039;t like them together. But I was feeling adventurous (and hungry), so I gave it a whirl. The first sip confused my taste buds as much as you&amp;#039;d suspect. The frostiness and frothiness you expect from a shake was in full effect, but I didn&amp;#039;t know how to process the subtle kick that followed. Then, I took another gulp and actually ingested some real peppers. I chewed them as I swished the sugary liquid in my mouth (well, sort of--I don&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;m that talented), and to my surprise, I loved the combo. The spice toned down the sweet as the sweet did the spice. Yet neither canceled the other out. Rather, it was simply a well-balanced dessert, one you can order beginning today if you&amp;#039;re lucky enough to have a SONIC nearby. Truth be told, I probably wouldn&amp;#039;t order it again, not because I didn&amp;#039;t enjoy it but instead because when I crave a shake, I want something standard. Still, I&amp;#039;m glad I gave it a shot and encourage you to do so as well if for no other reason but to experience the delightful befuddlement that comes from mixing hot peppers with ice cream. Here&amp;#039;s what else I&amp;#039;m eating. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
