Probably a bit strange but I don’t care much for anything sweet. Candy, chocolate, ice cream, whatever. Once in a while I’ll get a craving for an M&M Blizzard but that’s about it.

I don’t like to drink my dessert, so I preferred when they offered the Shamrock McFlurry along with the shakes. :yum:
I’m lactose intolerant though, so the last time I had one was a few years ago. The Lactaid tablets are hit or miss for me, need to be close to home. :Jeff '79:
I worked at an ice cream parlor as a summer job growing up, we had an Oreo/York peppermint patty ‘polar storm’ (aka blizzard/McFlurry/etc) that sold very well…could probably blend them down into a shake (or use mint syrup like McD’s does).
Serving the Little League teams sucked :ack: but I enjoyed working on/decorating the ice cream cakes (was the only one there with any artistic abilities).

Imagine an entire banana split made into a milk shake.
Second choice...Neapolitan - Bottom layer strawberry, middle vanilla, top layer chocolate.

The wife will have a shamrock shake, so get that going. :D
We make one stop a year at McD's, and that's because she wants a shamrock shake fix. :Jeff '79:

Orange Sherbet Shake
I like coffee shakes myself, my wife prefers chocolate. I guess we're boring :island14:
I like salted caramel fudge, and always thought it would make a good milkshake. I have never seen that flavor offered as a shake or ice cream though.
I make a killer vanilla milkshake that my kids go crazy for, even though they are in their mid-20s now! Actually, it's not really a milkshake, since I use half & half instead of milk. A good vanilla ice cream and some vanilla extract, and blend away. I really like it too, but I have to keep it down to just a few times a year due to my near-diabetic state. :(

I'll have to give that a try, depending on the cups. We did have clear plastic cups, so the visual would work. Would be a pain to make though. Wait, did I just hear "upcharge"? :D
A black and white frappe,please.

The last time I did a white frappe, I got two years of probation, had to write a letter of apology, and got banned from the Walmart.

Pie milkshakes. I had one at Shari’s in Seattle. :funny:
I had a chocolate shake with peanut butter pie blended in. 😳 Caitlin had vanilla shake with coconut cream, I think. They serve them with boba straws. After having about ¼ of our shakes, we had to take them to go. :willy:

It’s probably not something you would offer all the time, but if you did some special events? Might be something that sets you apart from other trucks. A little gimmicky, but possibly fun? :)

Chocolate malt for me. 9 times out of 10! If, "Sir, we only have milk shakes." "Gimme a Coke then."

I have no idea if y'all can even do this, but one of the best shakes I ever had was a date shake in Indio, CA during the date festival. It was vanilla with some sort of ground up dates and date syrup. It's kind of a nutty sweet flavor. You could start a new tradition where you are because I'm pretty sure nobody is onto this back there.

A lady walks in to an ice cream shop and asks for a gallon of chocolate ice cream.
Sorry ma'am, we are out of chocolate.
Ok, well then I'll take a half gallon of chocolate ice cream.
Sorry ma'am, we are out of chocolate
Fine, then just let me have a pint of chocolate ice cream.
Ma'am, as I said, we are out of chocolate
Great...well, let me get a chocolate cone then
Ma'am, can you spell "straw" as in strawberry?
S - T - R - A - W
Ok, can you spell "van" as in vanilla?
V - A - N
Ok now can you spell "****" as in chocolate?
There's no "****" in chocolate

According to the American Heritage College Dictionary, a milkshake is a “a beverage that is made of milk, ice cream, and often flavoring and is blended or whipped until foamy.” Unless you live in New England, where a milkshake would never include ice cream. Adding ice cream makes it a “frappe” drink.

In the 50+ years I've lived in New England, I have never uttered the word "frappe". They've always been milkshakes. :island14:
Just don't get me started on people who refer to "grinders" as "subs" or even worse...."hoagies". :willy:

You're from the 413 area code,right?
Mass is very territorial North Shore,South Shore,the Cape and then Western Mass that you just drive through while taking the Pike.
And its subs,not grinders and you don't toast the sub roll either.I suppose you say sprinkles instead of jimmies too.:waiting:
