Milkshakes: should they come with whipped cream on top or not?

I vote with the no-whipped cream folks; I have worked at many soda fountains over the years, beginning as a car hop at an A&W Root Beer Stand in the 60s, and wherever we made real milk shakes, i.e. with ice cream, milk, a stainless steel beaker, etc. we never put whipped cream on top.

A Sticky-Note Pad So Cute You'll Cry

I agree; it's absolutely adorable, but where can I get hold of one, or some?

'How Moist Was My Turkey'

Very entertaining post, but what about gravy? That can hold things up at the last minute and there's never enough.

Starbucks Breakfast: Doomed from the Get Go

I have also found, that at least here in Pittsburgh, the pastries are terrible, too. The possible exception is their cold sandwiches, which my husband claims are quite good, although I've only eaten one once so don't like to generalize.

BTW, I agree with you about their CDs; they are bringing back overlooked music and artists, like early Al Green, etc. and I think it's great.

Milkshakes: should they come with whipped cream on top or not?

I guess I'm lucky. The place from which I get my milkshakes( however rare they are), come with the stainless steel beaker and everything. The downside is that, living in California, my milkshake has been tainted by what we can now safely call the "Starbucks effect," in that it has whipped cream where whipped cream should not be. My final opinion: I won't flip out or boycott whipped cream, but if they ask, I'll be grateful to be given the opportunity to say "no".
