My milkshake from earlier today was mango. Pretty bloody good

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
