What is a huge milkshake loaded with ice cream, cake and flavored sauces called?
Freakshakes are milkshakes topped with cream, topped with cake, topped with sauce, with a handful of sweets thrown in for good measure – a monstrous mashup of a drink and dessert.
A now world wide trend, freakshakes originated in Canberra by the very talented owner of Pâtissez, Anna Petridis.
Most freakshakes are super-sweet treats that are guaranteed to indulge your inner sweet tooth. At their best – or worst – freakshakes are so over-the-top that they may even come with a mini burger or some other bizarre topping.

I have always been pro-sweets, but this is over the top for me. If it should ever chase me down, I would have to pass.

Never heard of it - another attempt at cultural invasion by the US of A?
