Bacon Milkshake

[DrBruin]

Has anyone had the bacon milkshake at any of the LA area Jack in the Boxes? If so, which one? I'm curious if it's worth 700+ calories. And, is it a vanilla shake with bacon bits? Or a bacon flavored ice cream as the base? What's the scoop?

I would rather have a date shake instead. It tasted yukkie...

Tell you what, make a batch of maple lacquered bacon, reserving the rendered fat. Cool and crumble. Make your favorite vanilla milkshake recipe, but add 1 1/2 tsp of maple syrup, 1 1/2 tsp warm bacon fat, and a pinch of salt per serving. At the end of mixing, stir in 2 strips worth of the bacon crumbles. It can't be worse. :-)

I tried one at the unit one across from UC Irvine campus. It's not on their menu. You just have to ask for it, and they'll mix bacon-flavored syrup into a vanilla shake. I suspect every JIB will have it as a special.

I think so... they are playing off the cache of In-n-Out...

FYI...There is no real bacon in this shake. But it does have 1081 calories in the 24oz size.

Did it taste good or was it gross? Or, was it 3 swigs and that's enough?

Please tell me this is the Jumping the Shark moment of the bacon craze. I like bacon as much as the next guy, but this sounds disgusting. Pig should not come in liquid form, unless it's lard, and then delicious.

It tasted lightly of liquified Baco-s (those fake bacon bits, not the Josef Centeno bäco) in the vanilla shake, with the salty tears of having fallen prey to clever marketing. I sucked the whole thing down and enjoyed it.

I liked it as a one-time kinky exploration, but probably wouldn't do it again. If you're bacon-curious, by all means try it so you can say you did it once when you were young and crazy.
