Anyone else like their milkshakes?
If so what's you favourite?
Has anyone had a Wicked Wendy?
My favourite is a wham bar, I've spent £8 there in the last 10 days.

Not been to shakeaway for ages ,

but there is a similar place that is a fair bit cheaper that I go to from time to time

Had a whispa caramel milkshake last that was surprisingly nice .
Big fan of classic oreo milkshake , and peanut M&M's is certainly an interesting milkshake ,

Used to go there quite often but it's so much easier and cheaper just to buy the stuff in the supermarket and make at home. We even used to have the same blenders as them. They don't have anything special, just convenience but the queues can often be horrendously long.

That's because the convenience is the product.

The best thing about doing it at home is that you're not limited by a menu, and you can use better quality ingredients. Why have a milkshake with some carcinogenic banana-flavoured syrup when you could do it yourself with a real banana?

I can make a much nicer burger than any takeaway joint or pub, but when I'm living on my own the time it takes just isn't worth it that often. For a family with kids it's a completely different issue, it's a great chance to make the meal together and teach the kids about eating meals that only contain food and not other additives.

That carcinogenic banana flavoured syrup doesnt taste anything like bananas , I do like the taste of both btw im just saying they are different flavours .
