Five Guys Testing Customizable Milkshakes, Includes Bacon

Fans of the Five Guys burger chain will be pleased to hear that you can absolutely prolong your order time now that they’re testing customizable milkshakes. That’s gotta be wonderful for the lines. Though, hey, bacon and Oreo milkshake!
Customers begin with a vanilla base for their milkshake. They’re then given the option to mix in as many topping options as their artery-clogged hearts desire. Some of the more notable toppings include salted caramel, coffee, Oreo cookies and of course bacon.

Not sure yet if it’s a Highlander type situation where the fewer ingredients you choose, the more you’ll get or if each shake will have a fixed amount. Regardless, customers can now relish in the fact that their entire meal is customizable. In a few years, they’ll probably let us choose how to cook our burgers and fries as well.

The milkshakes are currently being tested at select Five Guys locations, specifically in the East Coast.

Well, well, well. Look what we have here. A dagger to the heart of the In-N-Out crowd.

Looks like an evasive action on FG's part. Probably getting their butts kicked in In-N-Out's market and the franchisees demanded that corporate do something to save their businesses. Looks borderline desperate to me.

Alexandria, VA test location. I'll be checking that out.

Where does Culver's rank here?

I think their burgers are a little bland and need some salt or something but I will give them another try.

 

[tom22406]

I'm kinda torn as to what my first shake should be?

Any ideas?

Clearly bacon will be had at some point just because it's ####### bacon.

Salted caramel and cherry.

Sounds like a winner!I plan on hitting it either Friday or Saturday and will report back my findings.

Get the bacon. It's good. Culvers is the best ff burger I can get ( I don't have I-n-O here and to me those two are close to a toss up).

White Castle should be illegal. It's like eating literal garbage.

White Castle is great if you like a wonder bread like bun loaded with onions and a paper thin burger. McDonalds burgers are better and those barely qualify as real meat.

Also great for people who like to spend most of the next day on the toilet.

This just proves you don't know what you're talking about. You NEVER have to wait until the next day. I pretty much just eat them while sitting on the toilet.

A side order of TP would be a nice addition for WC for sure.

My father loved White Castle. We used to eat there fairly regularly. Never had this problem you guys seem to have.

I think those that eat if regularly get used to it. I've known people who ate it for the first time that ended up spending hours on the can.

I ate 16 on the way to a Dead show once. Ended up getting the runs while peaking on 3 hits of double-dipped blotter acid and had to use the Giants Stadium portajohns on a 90 degree summer afternoon. I assure you, there are few things less fun than tripping balls and trying to hover in the worst smelling portapotty on Earth while spraying White Castle diarrhea like a popped fire hydrant and having 10 hippies pound on the door begging you to get out. Let's just say I didn't always exercise perspicacious judgment in my youth.

I can't tell you how much I enjoy the juxtaposition of a 50 cent word like this in the middle of a description that's just flat out gross.

Tried Penn Station Subs. It was OK but they aren't very generous with the meats.

My biggest gripe with them is consistency in quantity. One day I'll go in and have beef over flowing. Other days I'll go in and wonder if they forgot the beef.

 

[Henry Ford]

Where will they put the freezers?

There won't be one. They probably also won't put up huge signs saying "MADE FROM REAL ICE CREAM, ZOMGZZZZ!!11"

Primo's Hoagies, had them in Cape May... About 50 locations and expanding, very tasty sub.

No salt allowed. In here, we rank burgers based on the taste of the beef in all it's purity.

People that get burgers with buns, cheese, toppings, and seasonings really aren't qualified to weigh in.

Really, a true burger should just be a meat grinder attached to a whole cow, with the patron sticking his/her head under the grinder to accept pure beef.

Indeed. It really makes you wonder what all these other places are trying to hide.

Made a quick call to confirm the Five Guys near me actually is doing the milkshakes and they are.For those of you that hate spending money a $4.49 milkshake may make your head explode but that was the price I was given.

I think they let you have as much milkshake as will fit in your pockets.

No, but they give you a case of whipped cream with each shake.... so you can share.

The other day a lady was eating fresh Checkers seasoned fries on the subway. The smell was overwhelming. I hate people who eat on public transportation. If she can stink up the car with fast food I should be able to smoke on the train.

I was just making a point. I wouldnt smoke on the train even if it was legal and I still smoked.

Saturating the air on the train with the stink of fried food is horribly obnoxious. At most you are on the train 2 hours. You should be able to wait to stuff yourfat face.

You are assuming my farts smell. And if they did nobody knows I dealt it.

P.s. id rather smell farts than nasty fried food. I understand that people have to fart so I dont hold it against them.

That wench didnt have to shove a combo meal in to her hippo body at that very moment.

Stopped by Five Guys today for lunch with my better half and this is the sign that was waiting for us.http://www.boozyburbs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/2014-04-18-12.46.12-600x450.jpg

We both got a shake with 2 burgers and an order of fries.

I had the sweet caramel/cherry mix as requested by HF and it was delicious,she had a banana/peanut butter mix that was simply amazing(easily the best of the two,we both agreed).

Thick,creamy and well worth the price!

Highly recommend them if you have a store nearby doing it.

I can't bring myself to drink a milkshake with a burger and fries. Too many levels of fat in one sitting. Slap an extra patty on the burger and give me a diet coke instead.

Disagree, DQ lunch special with blizzard or sundae is the awesome.

I guess I shouldn't tell you I dipped a few of my fries in my shake then should I?

Jumping into the middle of this monstrosity of a thread.

Little burger with cheese, tomato, pickle, relish, hot sauce. Why do I get surprised comments from the cashiers when I order this? They act like I'm ordering something crazy just to be a kooky wacky guy or something.

East coast guys, we just got Rita's italian ice in L.A.. Is it really popular in Philly and where ever else that's had it for years?

The custard/gelato combo is excellent.

Grew up in Philly and my favorite water ice. Like the fruit ices and particularly the sugar free varieties as they are not as sweet

I have to say, I've been really impressed by the salads that fast food places are cranking out these days.

Zaxby's, Chick-Fil-A, and Wendy's salads are all really wonderful. Even the McD's salad for a few bucks less isn't terrible. I still haven't tried Burger King (avoid that place in general) or Bojangles yet (can't bring myself to get anything other than the Cajun sandwich there).
