Friends Advent Calendar - Day 8
Posted by MeganL,
We finished our first week of the calendar with (finally!) a kiosk for the Christmas market, a wurst (or hot dog) stand, with one very memorable sausage! If the minidolls dare eat the wurst, a beverage would be needed to wash it down, so hopefully today there will some drinks available for the mindolls.

This is great! A chocolate fountain with two mugs of hot chocolate. I particularly like the 1x1 round pieces used to whipped cream topping, because what's a lovely mug of hot chocolate without whipped cream? I'm not sure hot chocolate works well with a hot dog, but I think the minidolls will have to take what they can get.
Bonus points for getting red and green included in the build thanks to the table and one of the mugs.

Nothing like a hot cup of chocolate topped with a whipped cream after a hot dog! ... What are we getting tomorrow, perhaps a place where to dump the goodies?
Megan: In Denmark cold or hot chocolate drink is the most popular in hot dog stands - that might explain the combo :)
I love those trans-pink cup pieces. A worthy follower to the shrine of the holy hotdog.
Those trans pink cups give me real Belville vibes.
Huzzah! The fountain of everflowing chocolate! From the same temple as the shrine of the glorious bun. The Friends have discovered a real treasure here!
A hot chocolate fountain sounds nice. But it depends on how hot it is. If it's in the open winter air wouln't it have to be a hazzardous temperature?
Small and cheap after yesterday's shrine. Seems to be the theme of the day. Raise prices on the ACs and we get this?
@CCC:
That’s the “diet hot chocolate”.
Hot cocoa stand with a fountain spraying hot cocoa into 2 mugs!
@JamilMuasher:
Because who doesn’t love having to catch a tasty beverage from an erupting geyser in the middle of winter? Good times…
Are the 'whipped cream' studs supposed to be loose, or is the boy doing it wrong?
@Banners:
The rim of the goblet is shaped such that you can press the base of a 1x1 round plate in right up to the flange, and it will clutch like an oddly-sized stud (offhand, the only part I know of with that type of connection). The mug does not allow that, which is very annoying. Lord Business has a headdress with red mugs that shoot flames…except there’s no way to mount flames on the actual minifig version. I also wanted to recreate the frozen spill of water from the security guard that Mr. Freeze shoots at the beginning of TLBM, and the only way I was able to pull it off was to tightly wrap a Technic band around the base of a flame element and jam it into the mug (not remotely as easy as it sounds). So, the base of a 1x1 round plate doesn’t fit, and a stud doesn’t create a connection with any clutch. It just rests upside-down on the mug. If that’s what you’ve got, he did it right.
