They used to be just `shakes'; they couldn't call them milkshakes because they
weren't.  A while ago a friend told me the ingredients; i don't remember but i
think propylene glycol was one of them.  But a while ago they changed, and now
they're REAL(tm) so they can at least call them milkshakes.

On a similar note, we once got this really wretched ice cream.  After deciding
it was not for for consumption, we left it out to melt.  Guess what, it
doesn't melt.  It kept its shape quite well, with a bit of funny-smelling
liquid coming out.  Microwaving it just turned it into slime.  Yum yum!
