Shake update

A friend asked me how the milkshake challenge was going and mentioned that her favorite shake is a P Terry's shake. She wondered how it stacks up to other shakes I've had.

Here's the answer i had for her:

P terries is a good go-to shake. I like the flavor and i like that it tastes good yet doesn't send me into a milk-coma, like other ones I've had. ( Players Burgers comes to mind)

It's 3rd in terms of purchasable shakes for me. Terra Burger is well ahead with a 96, then mighty fine burgers comes in at a 91, closely followed by pTerrys at 90. (Out of 100, yet no specific way to add up to a specific score. Just me making up a grade)

However, if i wasn't eating so many of them, i may have a diffent opinion, but going for this many, i get quite turned off by thick, rich shakes. As i drank one at red robin, i could taste the whole milk, and felt like I was getting fat as I drank it. That doesn't work for me.

However, if i can add homemade shakes to the mix, then i have one i make at home that beats them all! Next up at home is switching to organic icecreams from whole foods instead of bluebell, and i think that may rival Terra burger's clean, natural flavor. But first i need to get through the two 1/2 gallons of vanilla and milk chocolate that currently reside in my freezer.

It's getting tough tho... Sometimes i can't even think of a shake without gagging. But then, after a few days, it's all good and i can yet again attack.

I mostly look forward to adding booze to them soon! Ha! Just 9 more (50) and Baileys, Kahlua, spiced rum and Amarula will make these into weekend treats!

Thanks for asking, sorry about the long answer!
