Just because things taste good separate does NOT mean they will taste good together!
#19: Try a donut with a weird flavor combo at the Fractured Prune.
For those who don't know, the Fractured Prune is a "donut shoppe" in Ocean City, MD where the donuts are made custom for you (unlike that other donut place... Dunkin' Somethin'?)
All of the toppings are delicious of course. I, however, am willing to take a challenge and try to make a disgusting flavor out of the tasty ones they have.
Last year, I tried their mint chocolate chip donut and it was DISGUSTING. However, as that was a premade flavor, I don't count it. I am a mint lover, but for some reason mint on a donut does not work. So I decided to stick with mint as the glaze flavor. Then, I had to choose a sugar: powdered, granulated or cinnamon sugar. Of those three, the one I figured would go worst with mint was cinnamon sugar so I picked that. From the toppings, I was torn between coconut and sprinkles, but I don't eat coconut and I wasn't gonna push my luck getting sick at the beach, so I stuck with sprinkles.
We can all agree, I'm sure, that separately, a donut, mint flavor, cinnamon sugar and rainbow sprinkles are delicioso (as Dora the Explora would say), but how did they taste together?
Honestly? Not as bad as I expected!
I almost felt disappointed. Granted, Aunt Mer called it, saying that the combo sounded awesome to her, but I had faith that it would be nasty. And it let me down.
Would I order it again? No, I'd probably stick to the maple cinnamon donut or even the prune donut (much tastier than it sounds), but overall it really wasn't that bad a combo. Maybe Baskin Robbins should consider adding a 32nd flavor- Cinnamint (with optional rainbow sprinkles for the kiddies)!
Oh well. Better luck gagging next time.
