I tried a Coolata at Dunkin' Donuts. The drink is as numbing cold as the black coffee is scalding hot. I couldn't hold the cup for fear of frostbite, taking small, cautious sips through a straw. About one-third of the way through, the heavy aeration was already making me burp, so I trashed it. I'll stick with iced coffee. If someone calls you a coolata, you've been insulted in Italian.
