Title: Shakes.
Post by: Bumblebee man on August 14, 2009, 03:43:53 pm: Hey guys.

This is a topic about Milkshake.

Where I live there are a few stores in which you can pick your Milkshake ingredients and they make it for you. Anything. Chocolate, fruit, biscuits, sweets. They do it for you! It's amazing. I'm pretty sure everyone has done this at least once so I'm going to make a topic on it and maybe we can share ideas for flavours and ideas!

I don't have a favourite at the moment but I did have a Dime Bar and Crunchie Milkshake and it was delicious!

Err, yeah, discuss?

I only got to go twice though, the second time being on the day they closed down. Apparently the old man who owned it decided that upon his retirement, he'd rather just close up shop than give it to someone who might not run it like he would want. He just wanted to quit while he was on top than let the place go down. As much as I wish I could have had more of those delicious milkshakes, I can definitely respect that decision.

So nope not been too adventurous with milkshakes because that's the only place like that I know of :(

Also kaworu you been gone forever man!

Post by: datamanc3r on August 14, 2009, 04:38:48 pm: I'm pretty conservative with my milkshakes. Strawberry, banana, yogurt, milk, and a touch of orange juice. Sometimes if I wanna get funkay I omit the strawberries+yogurt and use ice cream, peanut butter, Nutella, dark chocolate, and coffee in it. Unfortunately though, the ice cream usually just makes the whole thing chunky. I wonder if it would be smoother if I use half and half instead of milk?

Yes, I keep the orange juice.

Post by: Ihateyou on August 14, 2009, 04:59:48 pm: I used to make my own as an alternative to always making smoothies.
Apple, mint & banana and apple, banana, strawberry and pineapple were probably two of the better ones (I'm addicted to apples... I can drink over a litre of pure non-concentrated apple juice per day).
My favourite bought one was probably the Yop! chocolate brownie flavoured limited edition :/
I tend to drink fruit juice more than milkshakes and such.
