Shake or soda ?

[ddgaff1132]

Nobody mentioned my fave with burger and fries. I like milk! Dont know why. There is something about the taste of a burger washed down with a big swig of milk. Maybe it makes the meal taste less like fast food. Milkshakes have always been on the desert menu for me. Since back in the day when McD's and Burger King didnt offer much in the desert arena.

This isn't new. Remember sacharine?

In the late 70's they jammed 50x the times the stuff one would eat in a lifetime into mice. The mice got Cancer so sacharine was branded as Cancer causing.

Now, due to more sensible studies and the realization that rodents and human systems are different Sacharine has been cleared but that was after the fake disrepute Sacharin was put in spurred soft drink manufacturers to use something else. Not the first industry destroyed by junk science nor the last.

The aspartame "scare websites" and "scare tactic e-mails" is one of the biggest internet hoaxes ever perpetrated. It is right up there with the Nigerian scams. Thousands of websites picked up on the "dangers of Aspartame" bullcrap. There is absolutely no credible science behind it at all. None. Zero.

P.S.

I like diet pop. I do enjoy a delicious milkshake every now and then though I must admit.

P.S. For some odd reason...I don't like the traditional root beer floats...I've tried to like it...but I just can't get into it. I also only like it with vanilla ice cream as well. Coke and vanilla ice cream floats for me.

Vanilla and coke here as well

I'm surprised the thread has come all this way and no-one mentioned Chocholate Egg-Creams. I buy the syrup at the Supermarkets and sometimes mix in Pepsi instead of Seltzer. The Seltzer seems to go flat really quick.

I live in Missouri, so the closest I can get to an egg cream is an Old Fashioned Soda at Andy's. It's fortified with Yumtonium!

^ Did you happen to catch her name? Which McDs WAS this?? ...and HOW "rough" was she?!?

Near the Easton shopping center in Columbus. She was actually pretty rough, and may have bruised my nuts.

And...today I had a Shamrock Shake! And how surprised was I when they (gently, this time) handed it to me in a clear plastic cup with a dome lid...and whipped cream...and a freakin' cherry!?


Seriously, kudos to McD's on their presentation.

On a somewhat related note, I hit McD's today for a hot fudge sundae, resisting the urge for a Shamrock Shake. However, when the girl at the DT window handed me my sundae, she was kind of rough with my nuts.




(I guess that doesn't really matter, though - I don't put nuts on sundaes.)

Man you need to read labels, anything that says it comes with crushed nuts stays the heck off my table..lol
