MacDonalds milkshakes

I dont eat in macdonalds, but the chocolate milkshakes there are heavan. :biggrin:
For the past few weeks I've been getting no choco milkshake :bawling: , infact all the macdonalds I went to (4 different ones) they ALL had no milkshakes, except in vanilla flavour :mad: Vanilla tastes like frozen milk, yuck! And today I was dieeeeeeing for a chocolate milkshake, so I drove to a big macdonalds, and they had ONLY banana flavour :confused: I never knew banana flavour existed.

WTF is happening to macdonalds? why dont they have no stock?

Ooooo I just noticed maths symbols, nice.

Because 9 times out of 10 their machines are either broken or they run low on stock because of high popularity...they dont seem to get in regular stocks for some reason

Strangely, the chocolate milkshakes aren't gluten free but the rest are!

mcd's and bk milkshakes give me respiritory problems so i avoid them
Milkshakes
The milkshakes were changed in the early 80's to reduce the fat content and calories. These McDonald's shakes are how
they tasted from the 50's through the 70's. Back then the straw would sometimes collapse because the shakes were so
thick. ENJOY!

Special Tools
I suggest getting an Hamilton Beach DRINK-MASTER. It is a consumer version of the multi-mixer's Ray Kroc
used to sell to the McDonald brothers. (or… a blender works O.K.)

Vanilla Shake
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup half & half
3 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Shake
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup half and half
2 tablespoons chocolate flavor Nestle Quik Powder

Strawberry Shake
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup half and half
3 tablespoons strawberry flavor Nestle Quik Powder

Shamrock™ Shake
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup milk
1/4 cup half and half
1/4 teaspoon MINT extract (not peppermint)
8 drops green food coloring

1. Combine half of the ingredients for the shake flavor of your choice in the silver cup that comes in the
DRINKMASTER, and mix on high speed until smooth. Pour into a cup. Repeat for shake 2. Or use a
blender and mix all ingredients on high speed until smooth. Stop blender, stir and blend again, if
necessary to combine ingredients.
2. Pour into two 12-ounce cups. Serves 2.

gah this is from the 80's tho ill try find a modern one

sounds ok to me :smile: mmmm yumm.
lol DaveManUk, u beat me to it :wink:
You think thats bad- they had no coke when my mum tried to get one last week!
Completely bogus. In the particular case of the milkshakes, McDonald's uses a translucent liquid thickening agent (presumably organic) that the "top secret recipe" fails to mention. I know this because it's the same stuff used to make the aliens slimy in the Alien movies -- no joke. Lots of industrial food additives find their way into filmmaking. Not just the ketchup of yore and apocrypha.

those are the originals though, would you want to buy a liquid thickening agent to put in your milkshake?
