Now with ice cream. Who would have thought, right? Ice cream. In a milkshake.
I was out today and drove by a restaurant with a big sign outside that advertising Real Ice Cream Shakes. This, it’s strange. Had I been asked just yesterday, I would have been pretty confident that there was real ice cream in any milkshake I were to drink*.
But this sign, it’s raised a couple of questions. The main and most important is: Real ice cream versus what, exactly? Fake ice cream? What are the other options? I mean, what are they insinuating that the other guys are serving?
* Maybe I should qualify with “in America.” In Guernsey, and possibly all of England and other places that I have yet to experience, a milkshake is literally shaken milk. Ok, maybe not literally. They probably don’t actually shake, as much as stir, some flavoring into a bit of milk. And voila, a milkshake.

I know, right? What’s with people who advertise like that. In my town we have a sandwich shop which boasts over 100 sandwiches. They advertise: “our shrimp salad is made with real shrimp”.
Well, what the fuck else would it be made with?
Lots of “soft serve” ice cream is manufactured from edible petroleum products. Some canned cream (in those aerosol cans) are also made from petroleum. It sounds awful, but it’s true.
This is why I love the internet. I had NO idea. BLECH.
Oh yeah, yummy liquid petro prods!! As a former LONG time chef, I hate, absofuckinglutely DESPISE all that crap- it’s NO WONDER kids are all A.D.D. and PSYCHO from eating so much of it,for some, It’s their WHOLE DIET! Time to start reading labels babe. When you see something you don’t recognize, or doesn’t look like it ‘belongs’ in the product (like peanut butter, it should say PEANUTS, SALT. That’s all, anything else, CRAP!!!!). That said, we ALL eat SOME stuff, but our ENTIRE DIET should not consist of McD’s, Hot pockets, and HO-HO’s!!!! ========== REAL Ice Cream is the shit ain’t it!! Yummmmmmm :)
