Hi, my name's Jack Marshall, I'm a digital reporter with the Lancashire Post and Blackpool
00:04
Gazette newspapers and today I'm trying something a little bit different.
00:08
We recently received some emails from Five Guys, the international burger chain famous
00:13
for their burgers, fries and often milkshakes and today's video is going to be about one
00:18
of their new milkshakes which they've just released.
00:21
It's a limited edition milkshake which only launched on Tuesday the 22nd of October and
00:27
that is a popcorn flavoured milkshake.
00:30
Now I know what you're thinking because I thought the same thing, how does that work,
00:33
what's that going to taste like, that sounds a bit crazy, what's going on, who am I, where
00:38
am I, what am I tasting, they're all questions which I asked myself and which when I tried
00:44
the milkshake I'm sure I'll be asking myself once again.
00:46
But anyway, so this is a, like I say, it's a limited edition milkshake, it's popcorn
00:50
flavoured, it's advertised as being a bit of a blockbuster, something a bit different,
00:54
it's got popcorn syrup in it, it's allegedly got chunks of actual popcorn in there with
00:59
it, so I mean if we're talking a thick gloopy milkshake, God knows how they're going to
01:02
get up the straw but anyway, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
01:05
But yeah, so I thought I'd go down, try it out, see what it's like, report back to you
01:09
guys and let you know what I think of what can only be described as the rather bizarre
01:13
concept that is a popcorn milkshake.
01:15
So yeah, I'm going to head across Preston, try it out, come join me, cheers.
01:24
Hi guys, Jack Marshall here, I've made my way over town to Five Guys, as you can see
01:37
over here.
01:38
I'm just outside, it's not raining for once so I thought I'd stay outside and I've come
01:42
over to try a limited edition popcorn milkshake.
01:45
Now this is a pretty crazy thing as we were saying before, it's pretty unique, it combines
01:49
popcorn syrup and real popcorn pieces, they've described it as like a show-stopping treat
01:53
and it's been out since the 22nd, so let's have a bash.
01:57
Hi guys, I've come away from Deepdale Retail Park just a tiny bit as it's getting a bit
02:02
loud and crowded over there, so just about to make my way across to the office but thought
02:06
I'd enjoy this on the way.
02:07
Now as we say, this is kind of like a limited edition popcorn flavoured milkshake, which
02:12
I mean when you're talking flavours of milkshake, you think the classics, you think you know
02:16
the chocolate, you think vanilla, strawberry, if you're getting a bit out there you're thinking
02:19
you know like oreo and stuff like that, but popcorn, never tried it before, never heard
02:24
of it before, let's have a bash.
02:28
It's thick, I can barely get any up.
02:33
It's sweet, you can taste some serious popcorn syrup in that, I've got a bit of popcorn in
02:40
there with it.
02:42
Yeah, it's syrupy, I'm not really a massive fan of really ridiculously sweet things so
02:52
it's not an immediate winner for myself but the creaminess helps a little bit, I mean
03:00
it's crazy when the cream in something is the less sweet of the two options.
03:05
I think some chunks of popcorn in here as well, which I've got to say doesn't sound
03:09
massively appealing, but I don't know if I'd be rushing back to one of these but I'll
03:17
tell you one thing, it certainly tastes milkshake-y and it certainly tastes of a lot of popcorn.
03:23
It kind of tastes like I've poured a pint of milk in the bottom of a cinema popcorn
03:29
bucket and I'm slurping it out of that, but hey if you love popcorn, this is the thing
03:34
for you.
03:35
Yeah, not something which will be for everyone, this is a bit of a Marmite drink but yeah
03:40
it's certainly unique so go and grab one, see what you reckon, tell us what you think.
