This looks f’acinating. (Spotted by James D at Sandella’s.)

If this has the consistency of an actual milkshake, you can consider me sold.
And I should probably stay as far away from these as possible if that’s the case, too.
I have a fear all you can taste in this is cinnamon.
I tried to make a cinnamon roll milkshake with a real cinnamon roll. It was vile. It looked good on paper, but it just didn’t translate to real life. Must have been the yeasty dough that killed it.
I actually ran to Wawa yesterday before work after I saw this post and tried this milkshake. To be completely honest, I was very disappointed and will not be buying it again over their other flavors.
To answer the first comment, yes, this does have the consistency of an actual milkshake (you can even order it extra thick if you wish, but I opted for regular thickness).
To answer the second comment, I was hoping all I would be able to taste is cinnamon, actually. But you can’t, and that’s why I was disappointed. I love cinnamon with a burning passion, but this was more like vanilla with a hint of cinnamon and some chunks of what I assumed to be glazed dough.
It was sweet, but surprisingly not AS sweet as I was expecting, and again, definitely not an overbearing cinnamon flavor which I had hoped for. If you like vanilla, you will probably really enjoy this since it is more balanced (quite surprising for a Cinnabon inspired product).
But this all being said and done, this baby had 670 calories, which is quite a bit more than some of their other flavors so next time I will be picking up either my usual mint chip, cookies and cream, or peanut butter cup flavor! I won’t miss this when it’s gone, but it was $1.99 so I can’t complain too much!
Thanks for the review!
I’m actually drinking one right now and I have to disagree with Caitlin J. It has a very bold taste of cinnamon… A little more than I was hoping for. It just over powers the shake too much. The shake is good, not nearly as good as the pumpkin cheesecake, cotton candy or birthday cake. Those are my favorites. I do not like however, the small chunks of dough, they have a weird squishy consistency like rubber. You can taste the icing in the drink too and that’s the best part.
