Ehrrenge Is The New Orange
(I am taking orders over the drive-thru speaker.)
Me: “What would you like to drink with that?”
Customer: “Ehrrenge soda.”
Me: *figuring he meant orange soda* “Sir, we don’t have orange soda.”
Customer: “Ehrrenge soda!” *really emphasizing the ‘errrrr’ sounds and making it sound like only one syllable*
Me: “We don’t have orange; can I get you something else?”
Customer: *loudly* “I want errrnge soda!”
Me: *in the same loud volume* “Sir, we ain’t got no errrnge soda!”
Customer: *in completely normal voice* “Oh, okay. I’ll have Coke.”
(He pulls around and my coworkers are laughing hysterically. I guess I just had to say it in a way he would understand. To this day we call orange “errnnnge”.)
