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? Same here Allie, they're everywhere here but I thought they were another US thing. |

polz : where are you in NZ? Anywhere near Auckland ? My niece and her family live in Auckland and I would love to know if they have tried them. Where would they go to try one? They look soooo good! One of those things you have to try at least once in your life. I would get the butterscotch one-yum!

Looks delicious but I would never order one. It would be a waste as I couldn't even come close to eating it all. I'm a plus sized woman and I do NOT have a tiny appetite but I don't think I could even eat a quarter of that. Maybe if someone agreed to share but still so much sugar....

It looks amazingly delicious, but I'm not sure I could actually eat it. Maybe just taste it.

I had one at a local rastraunt last week that had a mini bacon cheeseburger slider on it and bacon salt on the rim. It was awesome little snack. Lol Oh my- heaven for a savory not sweet person! Sounds like hangover food.  Do they have a to-go cup? I would want to try one, but I never finish a regular milkshake-no way I could get far on that thing in one go. I'm getting to old to eat all that dairy at one time.  |

I'd try a shake but it would have to be without all the bells and whistles. How many calories do those things have?

That looks awesome! I would totally try that. It looks like a giant mess of a shake.

I would like to try one - maybe share for an entire table. Caramel and chocolate combo would be divine.

I might eat the garnish off the top, but I am NOT a milkshake person. I have never liked milkshakes - the thick texture just turns me off.
My husband, however, would love it.

I"m pretty sure I would be sick after, but I would enjoy trying it!

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.  it looks like it might taste good, but my stomach actually feels queasy from the thought of it! (I guess my quest to detox from sugar is working better than I thought, lol.) |

Needs some caramel and we are good to go!!  DD had the Butterscotch and that has caramel sauce. As well as a sugar donut and crunchie, which is honeycomb flavoured. I would only be able to eat a few bites, but that looks awesome!! |

I love a good milkshake, but when I want a milkshake, that's what I want - not a doughnut. It just looks like too much to me, although the individual elements all look good!

Wow, impressive. Not sure if I'd ever order one though.

I would need a gallon of milk and a gallon of water to eat that.
I am putting that in the category of candy blizzards.

Holy crap, I need that one with the Crunchies. Like NEED. Even though I know I'd only eat like 1/4 of it.

Holy moly, that looks fabulous, all of them! I know me, I would order and feel compelled to try and eat the whole thing! And would likely get through more than half....
Which is why I am glad we don't have them (yet) in NW AR.
My WM supercenter does have Tim Tams, they are really good.

I expect to see that shake in your 1SE video, @polz  Looks amazing and would have an amazing calorie count to go with it. |

It's like a DQ Blizzard on steroids. When I started running I started to think of how far I would have to run to burn foods off. I have not had a Blizzard since I realized that I'd have to run the entire way home to burn it off. It was over six miles and I can't run that far.

Thanks - I'll check in with her and see if she has been there and if not, tell her to go and try one! I'm sure her 3 year old would love to share it with her (Her in-laws live in Matamata - which is a bit closer to Rotorua - she will need to go there when she visits with them)

I could eat one of those but I would have to go home and lie down moaning for a while afterwards.  |

I know what ganache is as I have had ganache cake before. I used to be able to buy a small container of it at this one particular grocery store in town but no more. Ganache is pretty rich and I would say as good a food as has ever been invented. Not too sweet, but still sweet enough, creamy, chocolaty heavenly goodness-correct? Where would one buy some ganache now? I have never seen it at the store again. Do people make it themselves?
I need to sleep tonight. I don't want to be up all night googling how to make the perfect ganache. Help a Pea out here, please!
