It feels like every time I get a shake that's not cookies and cream, it betrays me. Oreo shake, my beloved, you would never hurt me, I'm so sorry for my infidelity, I'll never do it again
Cookies and cream and strawberry are great flavors, but not universal. When I go to a place I have to judge them on the quality of their shakes before I know what flavor to get. I always get chocolate first, because everwhere has chocolate and is a good baseline for comparison. Then find the flavor that they do best.
One of the big things for more is they gotta be thick. There's too many watery ones out there. I wanna work for it.
You both have a point. Too watery and it's just flavored milk, but too thick and it's impossible to drink. The best is fairly solid, but not a chore to drink.
