Is this possibly the WORST name for a dessert drink you've ever heard?

It’s the term for a milkshake made from frozen custard.

Some dude called Ted came up with it:

It’s called that because the milkshake is so thick the spoon sticks up in it without falling down.

Really, it’s no more strange than pigs in a blanket, hot dogs, deviled eggs, Rocky Mountain oysters, or lots of other much older odd names for food.

If I was stranded in the desert, I’d take a drink no matter what they called it.

The descriptionn from @Seek sounds similar to Wendy’s Frosty.

But “concrete”?
Terms like “rocky Mountain oysters” are a way to.deflect from what they actually are. “Oysters” are much more appiyltizing to those who like oysters than “testicles”.

“Deviled eggs” doesn’t conjure up a vision of some thing that is completely inedible like concrete. Besides they aren’t served at restaurants as far as I know. People usually have their first association with them as kids at family functions before they even know what “deviled” even means. And deviled isn’t gross!

I just think it’s a poor bit of marketing, IMO.

Rocky Mountain oysters are testicles? Excuse me while I go vomit. Damn fancy restaurants.

“Deviled eggs” come and try mine with chopped Jalapeno / Dill Pickles and Horseradish. Oh dusted with Cayenne Pepper/Paprika

Grasshopper:

¾ ounce green creme de menthe
¾ ounce white creme de cacao
¾ ounce light cream (or single cream, in the UK)

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour in all ingredients. Shake until chilled, and strain the mixture into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

It’s in the very bad category, but there are contenders, such as:

1,000 Needles
Pedobear
Man-Candy Hilt Job
Pussy Bomb
Pelor’s Other Burning Sensation
Nurgle Pus

And those are all from one place…

Culvers have their “concrete mixers”. I never gave it a second thought. The only thought I have is that they are yummy.

Little Baby’s Ice Cream…..sounds creepy. Judging by the commercial, it seems it’s made of actual babies.

Irreverent but I love frostys. Dip your fries in a frosty and thank me later.

The use of the word “concrete” doesn’t bother me. @Seek‘s explanation sounds good.

Dairy Queen makes Blizzards – same idea.

There is also kitty litter cake. You prepare it in a real cat litter box and serve it with a litter scoop. haha Check it out.

My daughter is in Amsterdam right now and had “Bitterballen” at a pub last night. Deep fried sausage balls. Oh those bitter balls. lol

@Coloma: I’ve heard of flower pot cake but never kitty litter cake. I just looked it up on Pinterest. It looks very unappetizing haha. I have a strong stomach but don’t know if I could stomach eating something that looks like a litter box. I guess it comes from knowing how gross a cat box an actually get LOL.

@jca haha, I know, some of them look more realistic than others. What an idea huh? lol

Speaking of which I need to scoop the litter box here. haha

Well, it doesn’t “bother” me @JLeslie. I just thought it was weird. That’s a food that I would never eat anyway, no matter what it was called.

For Zoey’s 2nd birthday Mom made her a mud cake. Oreos crushed up and chocolate pudding. Then you stick gummy worms in the “mud.”

Speaking of which, I DON’T DO LITTER BOXES AT ALL! haha.

@Dutchess_III Well…if you are forced to make a cake for someone on your shit list the kitty litter cake would be a perfect choice. lol

It would!
