Souplantation

I don't know how, but somehow, the group was convinced to go to Souplantation after church. I have to say that Souplantation is one of the most offensive restaurants to ever exist. They sell soup and salad. These are side orders not meals! It's so wrong. Not only that, but I don't even think their salad is that good. If you're going to specialize in salad, at least make it better or as good as anyone else's. Everything is so bland tasting. Bleh. I think they know their salad is gross cuz as you're in line grabbing gross things for your plate, they have this little plastic case of chicken you can buy for like $1.25. Forget that, it's probably just as bland as their salad. I was given a tip from a guy last time I was there that if you get chicken noodle soup, you get unlimited chicken. This seemed like a good plan except the chicken turned out to be so dry. I don't know how you keep chicken soaked in broth all day and it still manages to stay dry. So basically Souplantation can't even make soups and salads that good which makes them really suck in my opinion cuz that's all they make. Souplantation is high school cafeteria food at best. Oh, and the price. It's like $10 for soup and salad. There is some serious profit margin going on here.

My second peeve (I was going to say "beef", but that didn't make any sense!) with Souplantation is that they are going with the healthy angle successfully convincing many people that by eating there they are eating healthy. It's true, if you know what to eat there, you are eating healthy, but that goes for most restaurants even ones that serve yummy beef. But if you're going to get a salad and then drown it in dressing and then have some fatty soup and a Coke, guess what, you are on the road to Fatty Town, sucka. Souplantation has a healthy fact about almost every item in the salad bar except when you get to the dressing. Most people think they're eating healthy there, but they are probably not. Oh, I forgot to mention, they also have unlimited soft serve ice cream. So if you're on a diet, I think Souplantation has got to be the worst place you could go because they have unlimited supply of stuff that gets you fat like soda and ice cream (and toppings). Think they are a healthy place now?

Souplantation's motto is "Create. Indulge. Enjoy." I find this to be more of a challenge than a motto. Maybe it's more of a dare than a challenge. Anyways, Chane and I came up with an ingenious way to rise to the challenge. Take your unlimited soda and combine it with unlimited soft serve and BAM!...you get unlimited root beer floats at "healthy" Souplantation. Create. Indulge. Enjoy. I did. Suck on that, Souplantation!

Now you know how to get your $10 worth if you're ever roped into going to that place.
