I first wanted to go there because it's limeade was on the "Seven Wonders of Provo" list. The original blog post is nowhere to be found, but that link will take you to a newspaper article about it. I've always had a thing with world travel, so when I found out that there were 7 wonders in Provo, I thought that was just the thing for a Friday night.
I've done the seven wonders at least twice, with different groups of people, but every time it's been at night, and every time Ripples has been closed.

| The picture of us being disappointed at Ripples was too dark, so here's us being disappointed at Macey's! |
I began to wonder if Ripples were ever open! But I laid aside this dream until a few weeks ago when Dave, while making pizookies, showed me this film:
Ah man, besides being a hilariously awkward 70s film, it proved that Ripples was a Provo landmark! I revived the dream of going...and finally looked at its hours online. 11am-4pm? And not open on Saturdays? No WONDER I'd only seen it closed! (yeah, I realized the pun after I'd already started writing in caps...)
So Dave and I went for lunch. And it was great (except for the fact that I forgot a camera). The first thing I noticed was hordes of high schoolers. That was both a good and a bad sign (the food must be good, the line will be long). I finally got my limeade, and it, the burger, and fries were all tasty. It didn't revolutionize my world, and I don't feel a huge need to go back, but I definitely feel satisfied in having gone once. :) Ahh
