McDonald’s shakes are horrible anyway. One I bought was light, had crystalized sugar in it, and tasted like a chemical mix of foam and flavor. Definitely NOT ice cream.

The Sonic ones are almost as bad. The big one I ordered there was cold on the bottom, not cold above that and had a weird sweet flavor. I finally figured the big shake I ordered was a small amount of ice cream milkshake in the bottom, then the rest was filled with whipped topping.

A local drive-in near here still makes them the old fashioned way. Ice cream, flavoring, milk, well stirred, and very think and cold. There shakes and malts have been my standard of what a shake should be for the last 60 years.

You know you have been had when you leave part of a “milk shake” out all night and the next morning it still looks like a milk shake! Some places must use gelatin to make it do that. Yuck.

It is getting harder to find a real milk shake and I honestly wonder how many people any more even know the difference.

Our Sonic has great shakes. I love in the summer when they are half price after 8pm.

Potbelly’s makes good malts.

Shakes from most chains contain a filler made from wood pulp. It’s what gives it that “creamy” texture.

Its fake food. And it is killing us.

Jesus Christ, the Messiah, true God and true man, warned us of these times when he said:
“[34]And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly. [35] For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth. Luke Chapter 21:34-5

McDonalds is food made for gluttons. It has no nutritional value. It is full of toxins. It is full of sugar that opportunistic pathogens turn into toxins. The meat is treated with Ammonia to kill the antibiotic resistent bacteria present in the meat from cows that spend their whole existence standing in their own excrement.
