In the cabinet, there were churros with the classic flavor. Besides that, they also found ones flavored with various fruit syrups, like strawberry, orange, cherry tomato, and banana.

After much back-and-forth, Eloise finally settled on a mixed-flavor one with strawberries, oranges, and bananas. "Dad,
