I was ordering food at Wendy’s drive-through today and got one of their combo meals. I got a burger and fries, and for my drink I asked for a Sprite.

I paid for my food at the window, they handed me my bag and drink, and I drove off.

I was just about to leave the parking lot and I looked down at my cup, and I was like “This really looks like water. Did they mix up and give me water instead of Sprite?”

So my dumbass goes back through the drive-through and I go back to the window and say that I ordered a combo meal with Sprite as my drink, but they gave me water instead, and if they could swap it out with a cup of Sprite. The worker looked so confused and told me that I did get Sprite, and I was like “Really? I thought that this was water”

Then they asked me to taste it. I did. It was fucking Sprite. The fucking embarrassment I felt when I tasted the Sprite was a feeling I will never forget.

I apologized and drove off. Why didn’t I taste it before going back into the drive-through and embarrassing myself omg 😭

TL;DR: I told a fast food worker that they gave me water. They asked me to taste it, and I realized I was wrong
