A family memory that made me smile (The Slim Fast Story)

My father passed in 2012. My sister Sherry passed in 2021. I'm pretty sure that 97% of Kovaze will look at me crazy, but we had a fad diet in the 1980s called "Slim Fast" Slim Fast was a nutritional shake and it would always have this jingle in commercials: "Give us a week, and we'll take off the weight!" So one morning in 1988, I was in sixth grade and 12 years old. I was sitting at the kitchen table with my sister Sherry, and Sherry was tending to my niece Jess. Dad was at the blender and Sherry and I were just chatting away when we noticed Dad had a can of Slim Fast and was whipping something up. He made a TALL glass of the Slim Fast, sat down at the table, and my sister said to Dad,"That's Slim Fast? That stuff gives me GAS! And it tastes NASTY!" My Dad, the ever so proud chef, boasted, "Not mine, Sherry! I made this shake taste amazing!" So Sherry and I both asked for a sip. We both took a sip, and indeed, it tasted amazing! "WOW!" Sherry said to him. "That tastes amazing and does not taste like Slim Fast at all?! How did you do it and lose weight making it taste great?" Dad said "Well I haven't lost weight yet but I need to make it edible, so I put two scoops of French Vanilla ice cream in the blender with the Slim Fast." And people wonder why we are a fat family.... 🤣🤣 ✌🏻
