Ok, I admit it. I “luh-huv” the old McDonalds strawberry shake. But I bought one recently and was disappointed. Rather than the triple-thick frosty shake that I remember, they instead served this whipped foamy thing mostly devoid of flavor and strawberry goodness.
Anyone who has left the whipped cream out of the fridge knows that what’s left behind after the air has escaped out of it is one tenth the original volume. So here I sit staring into my “Strawberry shake” which is now 1/3 full of whipped air-cream and served in a cup 1/3 smaller than before; and I'm wondering what percentage of strawberry shake is actually left? On the plus side, they dropped the price 18 cents!! So for a 3.5% drop in price, we got 66% less shake in our shakes.
Who was it who said, “You Must Whip It”? Was it Devo, or the Hamburgler? Corporations keep looking for new ways to give you less and charge you more for it. Well, I for one, will be waiting for the “limited time only” to end!
