Worst. shop. ever.

[icey]

Theres been an interesting shop crop up in the town centre near me called 'cookieshake' - good concept, they sell milkshakes for £2.95 and make them in around 50 different flavours ranging from bountys to wine gums to jam doughnuts.
Nice looking shop interior, expensive menu's printed, looks nice.

But heres the question: how the fuck are they still in business!?
I went in to test it out, ordered a jam doughnut milkshake. Now i was expecting some kind of powdered or liquid flavouring mixed with some ice-cream to make it thick....not a chance. The whole concept of the shop is to add whatever ingredient you choose to half a pint of semi skimmed, mix it all up in a blender and pour it into a plastic cup. how shit is that!

sounds fucking quality to me! i want one.

and cheaper than a starbucks frappacino too i think.

[icey]

you could make one at home if you really wanted, just lob a couple of choc bars in the blender with some milk...

[LuckyStrike]

i'll whack some luxury vanilla ice cream in there too. gonna do it tonight with whatever i can think of....i cant find the menu online for suggestions, but im gonna have a do. done it with fruit and stuff before but thats about it.

[icey]

well i just made one myself - used a couple of choc bars broken up, put them in the blender first for a bit, then added some milk, then added quite a few scoops of rasberry ripple ice cream - turned out a treat (and didnt cost me £2.95 in the process! )

ETA: if you have oreo cookies and malibu, it's the shiznit in a milkshake

[Glittery]

That sounds vile

Not the one you made icey, the one in the shop.

we have one called shakeaway and it is always packed, do some really nice ones, you can also make suggestions but to be honest there seems to be every flavour imaginable. My favourite is one they do with glace cherries some preserved cherries and them hard boiled cherry drop sweets. Our one uses milk and ice cream.

in case you're interested in recipes, this is the menu.
i know i said a different price but i just found this menu in my room and they've upped the prices now..

[spartaalbion]

They do Ketamin flavoured milkshakes!!
wicked.

So let me get this straight... they put a donut in the blender with some milk. And voila...

I'm quite sure thats how they feed old people. Put their steak in a blender, add some liquid and stick a straw in it.

Well was it any good?

[icey]

see the first post. it was ok, but bare in mind that £2.95 is about the equivalent to $6. Totally not worth it imo

[your-babe]

The Brighton version is brill, and they sell ones with soya milk in- as I'm intolerent to dairy- it's brill for me!!!

[MrG]

not good for you by the way they make the shake though
