Default Alternatives to McD's Milkshakes

Damn it!!!

I really fancied a Macci D's chocolate milkshake this afternoon..... and guess what the bl00dy machine is broken!!

I'm not aware of other chains that do nice milkshakes quickly on demand.

All I could think of was Frijj. Didn't fancy that tough.

Anyone???

For ladies who've ever wandered what it would be like to 'swallow'. A McD thick shake - but a little warmer and more salty. (So I'm told...)

Face it - the place is stacked full of pubescent boys - where do you think they get all that creamy muck muck from?

I think you'll find Mc shakes actually contain

Whole milk, sucrose, cream, nonfat milk solids, corn syrup solids, mono and diglycerides, guar gum, imitation vanilla flavor, carrageenan, cellulose gum, vitamin A palmitate


Suits me, taste great!

As mentioned above Ice cream (can use vanila for any flavor), Ice, fullcream milk and nesquick mix in a blender - works a treat.

or use real friuit or chuck in a few mars bar and an aero/dairy milk for chocolate
