AIBU to send him back to McDonald’s (milkshake related)

Just incase it’s not obvious.....this is only light hearted and no judging on the McD’s please.

My dad was going to McDonald’s for a snack (his words!) and asked if I wanted anything. Not really hungry but said I’d have some fries and banana milkshake, you know seen as he’s going.
He brought me a chocolate milkshake! No banana apparently, but why chocolate? He said because chocolate and banana go together Confused what that’s to do with anything I haven’t a clue.
And they had strawberry.......he apparently didn’t know I like strawberry milkshake! But thought I’d like chocolate! Everyone knows chocolate is the worst milkshake flavor, right?
And he’s only known me my entire life, ffs!

So am I being unreasonable to say go back and get me a strawberry one? Or he should at least give me his cheese burger as compensation, as I’m actually feeling hungry now!!

Wished I’d just asked for a McFlurry instead!

Now I want a milkshake, all I have is a bottle of water Angry Banana milkshake is rotten though, chocolate is my favourite, with the chips dipped in. Or a hot fudge sundae would be better again... The only things I eat in McDonald's are their ice cream related products and the odd chip!

Banana is the best one!

they deliver round here now

Mrsknackered · 07/01/2018 00:30

Only one poster is right. Vanilla is the best, then strawberry.

The chocolate one tastes like banana so much!

blackteasplease · 07/01/2018 00:34

Banana or Vanilla are lovely.

The other two are rank.

tumpymummy · 07/01/2018 00:37

You were saved from the banana. Chocolate is by far the best - sensible father

AhhhhThatsBass · 07/01/2018 00:40

Chocolate any day. Although the mint ones on St Patrick’s Day A’s also rather delectable.

Gingernaut · 07/01/2018 00:41

Banana is the best!

I remember when they did a limited edition Orange flavoured milkshake. That was vile! I ordered one and couldn't finish it. 🤢

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 07/01/2018 00:42

Burger King do a Mint Oreo shake. The colour alone is enough to put you off (I haven't had one just saw one) It looked like a freckly glass of Head&Shoulders shampoo Envy

gluteustothemaximus · 07/01/2018 00:49

YANBU.

Banana is heaven.

Chocolate is disgusting.

Even the strawberry might have been better. At least they’re both fruit.

ColinsVeryJolly · 07/01/2018 00:49

Banana anything is disgusting. So much so that I avoid any McDonald's milkshake for fear of the minging banana taint 😝

Ginnotginger · 07/01/2018 01:02

Strawberry, Vanilla and then Chocolate a very distant third place. Banana flavoured anything should not exist (I like bananas though).

I wish they would bring back root beer. It tasted of mouthwash but was strangely addictive.

Ginnotginger · 07/01/2018 01:09

Also, as I can't be arsed to drive to McD's, I have just poured myself an appeltizer left over from Christmas and for some reason decided to put the last couple of cocktail/maraschino cherries in it (also left over from Christmas). I do not recommend this as a taste sensation Envy not envy

PointlessUsername · 07/01/2018 01:16

Strawberry milkshake is vile!

It goes....

1:Banana
2:Vanilla
3:Chocolate

LolaTheDarkdestroyer · 07/01/2018 01:17

Just wanted to add I've had chocolate milkshakes from there that tasted like banana, so it is a thing strange. But choc is the best.

JAMMFYesPlease · 07/01/2018 01:55

Yabu for strawberry. Banana or chocolate all the way. I miss banana milkshake. Not available where I am Sad

halfwitpicker · 07/01/2018 02:01

Am I the only person who found Elton's comment funny?

Celledora · 07/01/2018 02:26

YABVVU. Chocolate milkshake the is only good one. Your dad's a hero.

hungryhippo90 · 07/01/2018 02:29

come on OP, you should be delighted their milkshake machine was working!

am i the only one upset you dont appreciate the rarity of a working milkshake machine in a Mcdonalds?

MissConductUS · 07/01/2018 02:32

They don't offer the banana milkshake in the US, oddly enough.

rocky4 · 07/01/2018 02:39

Malteasers krushem though.. Wink

Just putting that out there.

TenancyTroublesAgain · 07/01/2018 02:47

Strawberry is the best, then vanilla.

Could do without chocolate and banana.

Pretenditsaplan · 07/01/2018 03:10

I want a macdonalds milkshake now and all i have is strawberry yazoo. I feel cheated

DixieFlatline · 07/01/2018 03:23

They didn’t offer banana milkshakes in Denmark until recently. And they stopped doing apple pies something like twenty years ago. They started doing McMuffins in the last few years, thank Christ.

Jobjobjob · 07/01/2018 03:36

YANBU because chocolate milkshake is all types of wrong and foul!

YANU because the vanilla milkshake is the far superior flavour
