So my wife graciously went out to get me a fountain diet Coke from Burger King up the road (I am a horrible diet Coke addict). Knowing my penchant for strange fast food items she came home with the above pictured "Cupcake Milkshake," she knows me well. I could not find the cupcake shake on the official BK website, so perhaps it is a test item or in limited release. I don't know.
As you can see in the picture it has a whipped cream like substance on the top. Presumably, this is to imitate the frosting of a cupcake. Actually, the stuff tastes very much like cheap frosting. I liken it to the stuff you find on top of ice cream cakes. As for the shake, it was your standard over sweetened, artificial "cake batter" -esque flavored junk. This seems to be a very popular fad flavor in cheap iced cream lately, I don't really like it. I was not wowed by the shake, it is not good enough to offset the probably atrocious caloric weight. Of more interest to me than the shake was the following.
**Note** As usual this fast food review is laden with gutter mouth and potty humor, adults only (why do my fast food reviews always degenerate into vulgarity?)**Note**
Instead of a straw you get a extra thick "BK Pipe" from "Have It Your Way Technologies." This led to me making about 200 low brow, vulgar innuendos of the sort that I am sure you can imagine (you know smoking pipe, etc...). I told my wife that her mom is known to be able to suck a cupcake through a BK pipe in an ode to the classic "golf ball through a garden hose" line.
heh heh BK Pipe!
ReplyDeleteWe have this menu item over in Grand Rapids, Michigan as well. I think it's a seasonal/promotional/special item of some sort. It's got a very overwhelming flavor. Between that and an abysmal triple Whopper with double cheese and double bacon, I was nearly ill for several hours.
ReplyDeleteWow. Disgusting. But I may have to try one.
ReplyDeleteThe horror.
The horror.
Good pipe-loving gravy!
ReplyDeleteI always wonder if places really know what they're doing, and if some of the younger folks and sniggering in the back when presenting ideas like these.
Still, I'm a fan of anything where I can whip out a naughty joke.
The shake looks so pretty. And even though your description is basically "cheap/artificial/junk," I think it sounds yummy. But I like cakes made from mixes. The size might be overwhelming, though. Maybe a 4-6 oz. would do the trick.

Yummmm:D
ReplyDeleteLOL...Yummm:D
ReplyDeletei had to give it a try because i'm a big fan of the coldstone birthday remix. the first sip was ok, after i got used to fitting my mouth around the enormous straw that is. I could feel my teeth rotting as the shake, which was very watery, sloshed in my mouth. I only got 1/4 of it down my throat until i felt sick to my stomach. the taste is so artificial and filled with preservatives that i was glad i threw it out.
