They were in bottles similar to Starbucks frappacino bottles and came in chunk monkey, cherry garcia and fudge brownie. They were just starting to stock them on the shelves so I couldn't see how much they were, if they were reasonable I would have snatched one but I'd hate for it to be a few bucks and be bad or mediocre. Has anyone tried them?

I tried the Cherry Garcia and the Chunky Monkey, and both were decent. I preferred the Chunky Monkey to the Cherry Garcia. They don't have the consistency of a regular milkshake, of course, since they are drinkable and not "slurp-able". They are made with shelf-stable milk BTW, so they don't have to be refridgerated, although I would guess you would want to chill it before consuming.

I got it--and was it ever good!!! Quite tasty!!! I wonder if you could sub that for milk in fudge??? Am wanting to make some cheery garcia fudge. Any ideas??

I tried all 3 flavors and thought they were all "eh"--kind of bland and uninteresting. I do like Ben & Jerry's ice cream, didn't love these.
