FREAKSHAKES! WOW!

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED BY FREAKSHAKES! 

IT IS A NEW PHENOMENON THAT HAS BEEN SWEEPING THE COUNTRY THANKS TO THE FOOD NETWORK SHOWS LIKE "CARNIVAL EATS" AND "I CAN'T BELIEVE I ATE THAT."

THEY ARE KIND OF LIKE THE WHOPPER BLOODY MARY'S THAT BARS ARE CREATING TO SEE WHO CAN PUT THE MOST TOPPINGS ON A DRINK!

LAST JULY 4TH, I DID MODIFIED FREAK SHAKES....THEY WERE ACTUALLY FREAK SODAS!  MINE HAD GLUTEN FREE LICORICE, ROCK CANDY STICKS IN BLUE AND RED AND LOLLYPOPS WHICH WERE TO HEAVY FOR SODAS.

I HAVE A PINTEREST BOARD THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT FOR INSPIRATION: https://www.pinterest.com/dailyelegance/freakshakes/  

HERE ARE SOME IDEAS IF YOU WANT TO TRY CREATING THEM FOR YOURSELF.

THEY CAN BE AS COMPLICATED AS THIS ONE.....

OR AS SIMPLE AS THIS ONE.

JUST BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN WITH THEM!

HERE ARE A FEW PHOTOS TO INSPIRE YOU.

GENERALLY YOU NEED SOMETHING STICKY TO ADHERE YOUR TOPPINGS TO THE RIM OF YOUR GLASS.  IN MANY OF THESE PHOTOS, THEY USED CHOCOLATE SYRUP.  I USED KARO CLEAR SYRUP FOR MY SPRINKLES.

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO ORDER ONE OF THESE AND THERE IS A PLACE IN SCOTTSDALE WHERE THEY CREATE A NEW FLAVOR EVERY MONTH.  THAT PLACE IS ZUZU IN THE VALLEY HO HOTEL.  (https://linkin.bio/eatatzuzu)

I FOLLOW THEM ON INSTAGRAM (EATZUZU) AND HAVE WANTED TO GO AND ORDER ONE, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS ONE INGREDIENT THAT PUTS ME OFF.  I WAITING FOR THE PERFECT COMBO!  (THAT IS USUALLY ONE THEY CREATE IN THE SUMMERTIME!)

I THINK THEY ARE SMART SERVING IT ON A HUGE TRAY!

HERE IS THE MARCH OFFERING FROM ZUZU.  IT HAD TEA IN IT!  

THE FEBRUARY SHAKE HAD STRAWBERRIES IN IT!

THEY ALSO DID THIS ONE IN JANUARY FOR CHARITY.

DECEMBER'S HAD MOCHA IN IT.

THE OCTOBER ONE HAD PUMPKIN SPICE WITH CHOCOLATE AND I COULD HAVE HANDLED THAT, BUT NONE OF THE OTHERS HAVE HAD INGREDIENTS THAT I WOULD WANT EAT.  SO I AM PICKY!  I HAVE A SWEET TOOTH.  GIVE ME CHOCOLATE, CARAMEL, NUTS, POPCORN NOT FRUIT, TEA OR COFFEE IN MY SWEETS!

WHEN THEY HAVE A FLAVOR THAT I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT, WHO WILL GO WITH ME?
