I’m having a quiet night in watching the footy, as I’m expecting a busy quokka filled election day. Bought a salad and a Woolies quarter chicken and settled in.

Also bought Masters spearmint milk, because that’s A Thing over here apparently…and it’s legitimately great? I don’t understand why we don’t also have minty milk?

Back in the dim & distant past, you could get spearmint milkshakes here in Melb. Grew up on them. Then about mid 1980s the choice of flavours dropped back to to vanilla, choc & raspberry - caramel if you were lucky. This was about the time that Big M started putting their wares in supermarkets, and you could no longer get milkshakes in milk bars as a matter of course. Some holdouts of course but in general the spearmint milkshake died right then and there. Could be time for a revival.

  I remember as a kid there were syrups at the milk bar - we must have been lucky as ours had blue heaven

    That stuff makes a great spider! Never did care for it as a milkshake though - looked too much like toothpaste.

    I think there was malt available from another place into my teens as well, probably one of the holdouts

  My milkshake from earlier today was mango. Pretty bloody good
