These things don't even MELT right. They used to be just `shakes'; they couldn't call them milkshakes because they weren't. A while ago a friend told me the ingredients; i don't remember but i think propylene glycol was one of them. But a while ago they changed, and now they're REAL(tm) so they can at least call them milkshakes. On a similar note, we once got this really wretched ice cream. After deciding it was not for for consumption, we left it out to melt. Guess what, it doesn't melt. It kept its shape quite well, with a bit of funny-smelling liquid coming out. Microwaving it just turned it into slime. Yum yum!
