Because they are BLOWING UP in my small town in New Zealand.I went today with a friend from Bootcamp and even tho it's a four hour run to burn one off, we think it's worth it. Last Sunday, six groups from Bootcamp went. I think we are keeping the place in business.  |

How would you eat that without making a total mess? Looks delicious, though.

I've seen them but they don't appeal to me at all. I reckon I would only be able to have a few sips and that would be enough.
Funny, I thought they were a US thing LOL. They are popular in Aus and Polz is in NZ so maybe not?

I saw a buzzfeed article on them and was totally jealous they aren't in the U.S.

I've never heard of these until now - apparently there's a well known one (Naughty Boy Cafe) in Lygon St which isn't too far from me.
Probably the sort of thing I'd try once, like the dessert café "Death By Chocolate" which still makes me feel queasy 20 years later!
I've got one friend who'd be in this with me....or AussieMeg do you want to come?
There are a few around the world, see this article

I see room for improvement ... they need some alcohol in them. Bailey's or Kahluha would be just the thing.

OMG they look decadent!! I'd be up for that! But I'd probably have to not eat for the next day or 2 after that many calories. |

I've never seen one of those. I would take that over the ginormous Bloody Mary's with half a buffet sticking out of the top that seem so popular though!

It looks delicious, but I couldn't take more than a couple of sips/bits of it, without feeling sick. My teenage self would have been in heaven.

No, not my thing. Apart from anything else it's just too much sweet stuff in one shake for me!  |
