LA California, MILK, Mint chocolate Crunch 7$
When visiting my friends who live around the UCLA area in socal, i heard of a shop that was passionate for malt beverages and ice cream. Gathering my thoughts and collecting myself from a drunken morning. My friends decide to bring me to MILK. A little corner shop in hip Hollywood. A place I would never care for. First thing you’ll notice when you get there. Culture shock. The people here are all Amish, dressed in black, but with a twist. They gel their sideburns and curl it up, real nice. Jk, they’re Jewish. Anyway, we all head over to the shop and I survey the menu. First thing I see on the board under “malts n’ shakes” was not only cause it was the longest name (and I got for the long ones first ;] wink) “MINT CHOCOLATE MALT CRUNCH”. Holy tits, I call that, nobody else can get it. At that moment, I really couldn’t give a shit about the kids around me that looked similar to Justin Bieber, I actually thing one them was a girl, a handsome little girl.
We finally sat down and the server gave me the drink. Wow, am I looking at this correctly, swirls of chocolate, a shade of green you can fall into!? waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?! And crushed up malt balls inside?! At this moment, I was partially aroused. Couldn’t help it. first thought that ran through my head, “Did I just die again?! (Yup, cause when i saw the name on the menu, I died once already)” But do NOT let this fool you friends.
The milkshake was given to me, with a spoon (Biodegradable of course, It’s LA, they care about the environment there…in LA)…A spoon? Why? Why would you need a spoon when you have a milkshake? You need a straw, slightly bigger than usualy straw, but straw nonetheless. “No spoon, thank you”
The waitress didn’t give a shit and gave it to my ignorant child-like self.
Straw in, lips on the straw, one suck. Have you ever sucked on a lemon and made that crunched up face? I made that same expression trying to suck the damn shake out of the straw. It literally took me 30 seconds to get half an ounce of green shake in my mouth. No. NOO. This is the point where i realized there was a devil, because there is no God in the world that would play with someones heart so much in a matter of seconds.
“How is it?!” my friend asked in anticipation. “It’s ok” But deep inside, my heart was breaking. Girls have broken my heart, so have some friends, now…MILK broke my fucking heart.
The consistency of the milkshake was THICK. It was like drinking a plastic model of what the shake should look like. In other words, I felt like I was on a date with a women with no vagina.
I made a list of quirky names that I decided MILK should change it to.
1.Mint brick through a straw (aka Good luck)
2.Secret ingredient:Elmers Glue
3.Cement with mint balls
I walked away from the store, broken hearted, but being a fat ass, I finished it, then I complained about it. The shake was a perfect metaphor for Hollywood in general. It was Expensive (It probably had its own agent) , pretty on the outside, High expectations, but on the inside, it was lacking the essence of a true milkshake, consistency.
And the hand that is flipping off the milkshake demonstrates the world, flipping off LA in its whole heartless self.
I didn’t wanna try another milkshake there, I knew it would hurt me even more.
Out of 5 boings
Flavor: 4 boings (If you can get any through the damn straw)
Consistency: 2 boings
Shop: 3 boings (Should be bigger for the amount of shitheads Biebers who go through there)
Go for the glam, dont go for anything else, unless you’re hungover.
