Mcennedy cherry cranberry milkshake by Lidl

If you are a regular shopper at Lidl, you will know that every now and then they will have a TASTE OF AMERICA going on in the store with Mcennedy products like pizza, corndog, fast food etc.

Milkshake is one of them, in 2016 they had so many flavours like apple pie, blueberry muffin and chocolate and in 2018 there was Bourbon Vanilla milkshake costing 49p.

This year, they had sour cherry and cranberry milkshake which I had to try as a cherry lover.

I don't know if anyone still remembers but Asda used to have thick milk shakes just like this in the 80s to 90s.

They were delicious back then especially the chocolate.

Since Lidl has a similar thing for their American food week, I decided to give it a go.

Planned to get the chocolate and cherry but cherry was the only one left and without a lid.

Frankly it was horrible, the cherry was artificial and smelled like refreshers fizzy sweets mixed with medicinal cherry dioralyte [the stuff you drink for tummy upsets].

As a sour cherry flavour, it lacked tartness if at all any.

It didn't bring me memories of asda but it certainly made me remember refreshers and dioralyte!!

Even though I didn't like it I would buy a different flavour because I think the artificial cherry flavour killed it more than anything else.

[Review] ASDA Victoria Sponge Flavour Milkshake

ASDA has launched four milkshakes which are all flavoured by sweet desserts!!!

The four flavours are:
Victoria Sponge, Banoffee Pie, Salted Caramel Brownie and Sticky Toffee Pudding

I didn't expect them to contain any real cake as I believe they are just inspired and flavoured accordingly, although you can get some thick shakes that have bits of dough/cake in them.

It was really difficult to decide which flavours to get so I eliminated the Banoffee pie first because I don't like bananas.
Then it was down to Salted caramel brownie and sticky toffee pudding.
I selected the sticky toffee because the salted caramel brownie is basically just going to taste like chocolate with salted caramel.
As for the Victoria Sponge, I wasn't keen on this flavour because strawberry comes to mind so I would imagine it tasting like strawberry milkshake but got it as well because I am a fan of the Victoria Sponge cake.

Tried the Victoria Sponge Flavour milkshake first because the sell by date goes off earlier than the Sticky Toffee Milkshake.
The milkshake wasn't as thick as anticipated, nor was it as sweet as expected.
It just tasted like thick cream with a hint of artificial raspberry flavouring.

The Sticky Toffee Pudding Flavour Milkshake was similar in the sense it tasted like single cream with a prominent hint of toffee aroma and taste that was not too sweet.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture before drinking it.

Dreyer's D Collection Pistachio ice-cream and smoothies

Just realised this is my first post for Dreyer's. This is because the flavours in my region were not appealing until they launched this one.

After looking at their site, this is one of the flavours I would want to try: Apple pie!

I also want to try their Shakes & Smoothies which according to their site, you just add milk!
