Milkshakes | Pad Patter 9.12

I haven't had a milkshake in over ten years since I became lactose intolerant. I use lactose free milk rather than a non dairy alternative so options at restaurants etc are non existent to me for any dairy beverage.

 

Oh wow Jan - that's a milkshake if I ever saw one. I actually like Wendy's Vanilla Frosties - I know, I'm very boring.

 

Those shakes look amazing Jan!

The best shake I had recently was a horchata Oreo shake from Del Taco. It was sooooo delicious! Perfect amount of cinnamon and Oreos.

I also love Arby’s mint chocolate shakes so I need to try the DQ thin mint one! DQ brownie batter blizzards were my go-to in college.

 

You know I love milkshakes, but I love even more coffee with ice cream! YUMMY OH!

 

I don't order milkshakes very often but I'll eat just about anything if it has chocolate in it!

 

I've gotten one of those over-the-top milkshakes before, and they're not worth the hype. Ours became a mess lol.

I like Chick-fil-A, Whataburger, and Sonic milkshakes. I tend to like strawberry or Oreo flavor!

 

Chocolate double thick for me.

I know we can get freak shakes, but I agree with you, too big - too sweet.

 

Wow, those shakes do look like too much! I prefer less sugary drinks too, currently cutting down my sugar to 2 teaspoons per mug of coffee or tea. As for milkshakes, I like chocolate or vanilla milkshakes. Not really adventurous with the flavours!

 

Bianca is a Chick-fil-A Oreo shake lover!

 

Holy cow! Those milkshakes are insane! All I could think of when I saw the pictures though was... man, I'd be wearing most of that by the time I managed to finish it!

When I have ice cream treats, I prefer blizzards, but when I do get a shake, I love a good banana shake. Yum!

 

I'm a plain ole chocolate shake girl. I do like whipped cream and a cherry on top. And I prefer an old fashion shake ... ice cream and milk whipped together in a metal cup, then poured into a milkshake glass vs. a machine made shake.

Usually though my "shake" is a "keychain" (aka child size) Frosty from Wendy's. I buy a keychain every year and get a mini Frosty for free with any order.

BITD when I worked at McDonald's they would occasionally have banana or mint shakes ... I liked to mix one or the other with chocolate. Yum!!!

 

Good old soda fountain shakes. They were the best.

Honestly I don't drink many milkshakes any more but if I do it is just plain old chocolate. We have a restaurant in our area that has Frosties like Wendy's and I always get one of those when I go there. IMO, their frosties are better than Wendy's but I do like Wendy's as well. In fact, this place was the inspiration for Wendy's according to Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's. Kewpee has been around for over 90 years and in it hey day had over 400 restaurants. I believe there are only 5 now... 3 in Lima, Ohio, 1 in Racine, Wisconsin and 1 in Lansing, Michigan (although it is not called Kewpee).

 

Those milkshakes are a bit over the top -- I would have to share for sure!

Our favorite milkshakes are at Cook-Out. They have 40 flavors and you can mix up to 3 flavors in one shake. They use real ice cream and real add-ins. So when they have pumpkin pie, they add in slices of pumpkin pie. They are about 700+ calories each so I try to limit myself to how often I get one - or I try to split one with someone. It has been about 4 months since I had one. Maybe soon??

Favorite: chocolate fudge peanut butter banana (yes, real hunks of banana). I also love the blueberry cheesecake because: real cheese cake in it. I also love the pumpkin pie one.

Bonus: Favorite Milkshake Memory. So when I was growing up, one or two of us kids would spend a week at a time with our grandparents during the summer. We lived for the day when my grandfather would say: I think these kids need a milkshake. Then he would go to the store and bring home the makings. My grandma had a stainless steel shaker and she would use it to make all of us milkshakes. Nothing like it. Us kids knew it wasn't about us - Grandpa was the one wanting a milkshake, but we got to share his pleasure. He also thought we needed root beer floats from time to time.

 

I rarely buy milkshakes but do like them. The last one I had was a McDonalds green shake at St. Patrick’s day. It was ok.
I make chocolate malts for the grandkids which are always a hit. I think the malt flavor really adds to the taste.

 

When I worked at McDonald's in the early 70's, I did drink the shakes because they carried Coca-Cola products and I was a Pepsi girl (still don't like Coca-Cola). Even now if I eat at McDonald's I will get a chocolate shake instead of a soft drink. But I can't remember the last time I ate there. I stopped getting fast food for dinner 14 years ago and found I saved a lot of money that way. Now the only time I eat fast food is when I travel which hasn't been much in the last 5 years! The McDonald's I worked at was torn down in 2014 and a bigger one built and I have never been in it!

 

How do you even eat that! I would totally eat one though. They look amazing.

I'm not really a milkshake girl. I do LOVE ice cream but I want big, yummy chunks in it. I'm more of a blizzard fan.
