Bananas (The Company) Fat-Free Chocolate Smoothie (The Product)

     If you go to a company named Bananas you expect them to have bananas at least on the fucking menu right?  Well I guess I'm the asshole.  Just a plain chocolate smoothie.  That's cool I guess.
     If you name your company after something then that something should be present in your product.  Apple computers- there's an Apple on the computer.  New Balance- they have better balance than other shoes.  Lacoste- that's foreign for alligator.  Banana's didn't give me a banana option for my smoothie.  That's straight up false advertising.  I was really looking forward to a banana chocolate smoothie.
     At a recent trip to the mall to buy new pants (the old ones were worn out, I wasn't there to move a size up) I stopped for a refreshing beverage afterwards.  A chocolate smoothie?  Sure why not.  First mistake was not realizing it was a fat-free smoothie.  When was the last time you liked something that was fat-free?  Literally everything that tastes good has fat in it.
     When they said fat-free they should have said flavor-free.  It was cold.  That was about all I can say for the taste.  It wasn't chocolaty, it wasn't sweet, it wasn't rich.  It was just in a cup.  The smoothie wasn't bad, but it wasn't good.  My excitement was rewarded with lackadaisical offerings.  I probably won't buy it again.  I say probably because there's a 70% chance I forget about this the next time I go to the mall in a year.  4/10.
