Snickers Shake

I was never a big shake fan in America, just thought it was sat in an uncomfortable place between ice cream (eating) and milk (drinking) - most shakes in the USA are too thick to comfortably drink through a straw, and they don't have the ease-of-eating that ice cream has. Basically, you're meant to just drink it in a cup or something and get milkshake all over your face - and you're taking in even more ice cream than you would if you were to just eat a bowl of ice cream, because it's all melty and...yeah, so it took me a long time to try the 'milkshakes' of the UK supermarkets. Your Yazoos, your Mars milks, your Crusha.

When I did get around to it, I realized that milkshake also seems to mean flavored milk here, and I like that. Your chocolate, your strawberry, your vanilla. They're nice.

A lot of the supermarket milkshakes are slightly thickened, but they're all easily swiggable. I've tried some intriguing flavors in the past; Frijj has a few like Banoffee Pie, Caramel Latte, et cetera - they're all pretty nice, but this one has me the most interested...

Of all the mainstream candy bars available world-wide, Snickers is probably in my top 3. So, I was super interested to drink it.

Well, fact is, there isn't too much to say - but it is like Snickers. If you've ever had Mars milk you know the texture - thin...milky...

Key difference here is that it tastes like peanuts and nougat more than it tastes like chocolate. It isn't salty peanut, which would've been a bit strange, but more like a peanut butter taffy or peanut butter nougat - very much sweet rather than salty. I'd say it was definitely tasty, and if I was in the market for a milkshake I'd certainly get this one again over a more general chocolate like Mars or Milky Way, but if they had the Bounty flavor I'd choose it.

Peanut is kind of a weird flavor to drink, but I have to give props to the folks down at Snickers Shake HQ, they didn't just rest on their laurels and make it taste like chocolate. Kudos for taking a chance.
