Any particular recommendations? There appear to be 1 million different choices here. I'll give a full review of the Hershey's vs European World Choc-Off Competition after I get some alternatives in.

It's where they add some sort of powder crap to an otherwise quite tasty milkshake.

Quote:
As long as we can all agree that a chocolate milkshake is made with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup and not just chocolate ice cream

Quote:
Powder which would have been much better turned into ale or whisky.

Ugh. Alcohol with milk. And powdered milk at that.

For the record, that "powder crap" is a dried mixture of malted barley, wheat flour, and milk. Sounds tasty.

That I'll agree with, though doesn't that sound strange?

I should have said that in addition to my choice for chocolate "additive," I also use Breyers Vanilla for my ice cream. Of all the brands, it just tastes the best to me.

I don't get it, but a lot of places around here have started making chocolate milkshakes with chocolate ice cream. They taste like ass.

Note that I include cake in this formula. If you make a cake with chocolate icing, the inside's gotta be the yellow stuff, not the chocolate stuff.

I am also a fan of chocolate-on-chocolate cake, though. I'm almost never a fan of the yellow stuff.

Alanis is to intelligence what the temperature of ice is to the centigrade scale. Less than zero. Really, "idiot" is being too polite.

I have never heard anyone in the UK defend most of the situations in the song as being ironic.

Yeah, watching Americans argue over the meaning of "ironic" is like watching Americans argue over the best chocolate -- oh wait...

"I love that bit of musical parody. I'd love to see them do like a musical parody of Ironic by Alanis Morrisette, they could do a really wacky version with some irony in it.That would be an odd notion wouldn't it?

Cause that song really gets to me for that very reason cause she wrote a song about irony and filled them with things that were supposed to be ironic and none of them were. they were all just unfortunate. I always think that song should have been called 'Unfortunate'. The only ironic thing about that song is that it's called Ironic and it's written by someone who doesn't know what irony is. Fairly ironic when you think about it.

I'm going to coin a new word which is 'alanic', that's things that aren't ironic but you might think they were if you were a dozy Canadian bint

I'm not being harsh, if you actually listen to the lyrics to the song. "Like a traffic jam when you're already late"- that's not ironic it's just a pain in the hole that's what that is. When was the last time you were late for something, got stuck in a traffic jam and said "Look on the irony on this, there's irony for ya. I'll tell ya I was in a fierce ironic traffic jam the other day I'll tell ya. The irony was ninety."

No, there's nothing ironic about being stuck in a traffic jam when you're late for something. Unless you're a town planner. If you were a town planner and you were on your way to a seminar of town planners at which you were giving a talk on how you solved the problem of traffic congestion in your area, couldn't get to it because you were stuck in a traffic jam, that'd be well ironic, I'm sorry I'm late you'll never guess.

"It's like rain on your wedding day", only if marrying a weatherman and he set the date. I could go on and I will.

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break, that's inconsiderate office management. A no-smoking sign in a cigarette factory- irony. It's not a difficult concept Alanis. It's very rare you see a ironic no-smoking sign although if you ever see one of those that say thank-you for not smoking and you are. Fairly ironic

The best line in that song has got to be the line "It's like 10 000 spoons when all you need is a knife." That's not ironic that's just bloody stupid. How big is your sink Alanis? We haven't got 10 000 spoons between us have we? What do you need this knife for? To stab the bloke who keeps leaving spoons all over your house. But we'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Imagine you needed a knife for something, couldn't find one cause all you find was 10 000 spoons, could happen. And therefore you couldn't do whatever it was you needed the knife for then the next day it turned out that a spoon would have done."

Vanilla ice cream. I personally prefer the microbatch style French Vanilla variations - when there is enough vanilla to turn the ice cream slightly yellow / tan.

Absolutely not - a chocolate milkshake should have no ice cream in it at all, just milk and chocolate...lots of chocolate.

You are incorrect: that is chocolate milk, not a milkshake whatsoever.

Dare I bring up the difference between a milkshake and a frappe? (No - there isn't one; it's a sprinkles/jimmies thing.)

Another thing that isn't a milkshake, is that concoction they sell at McD's. Even in the hot sun they just don't melt!

Quote:
it's just unnatural to have repeating shapes of chicken lumps (the boot, the circle, etc). It means there's a chicken mold somewhere that is filled with extruded chicken mush, and that is just disturbing.

People extrude and shape almost every kind of meat - think hamburgers, hotdogs, sausages, etc. - why should chicken be any different?

Now as to what exactly they extrude before reforming and call "chicken", that's where McD's scares me.

There was a lot of advertisement that they are now using all white meat.

Yeah, this was actually a bummer to my wife. She had a very specific preference of wanting only the McNuggets that were dark meat. She got to the point where she could tell by looking at the outside of the McNugget whether it was white meat or dark meat inside. Whenever we went to Mickey D's, she'd sort through and give me all the white meat ones. Scary.
