Krystal’s MilkQuake Shakes Up The Competition

Elizabeth Lee
, food and drink writer for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reviewed Krystal’s Banana Pudding and Reese’s Peanut Butter MilkQuake. She then compared the drinks to Wendy’s new Frosty Shake and Chick-fil-A’s Coffee Caramel Milkshake.

How did it, um, shake out? We’ll just let Lee do the talking:

“Our favorite is Krystal’s MilkQuake, an ice-cream-based shake. The new, limited-time flavors are Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, which was the testers’ favorite, and Banana Pudding, a frothy concoction with bits of Nilla wafers blended in. (Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry are also available.)

There are some things you can’t fake, and a milkshake is one of them. When they’re made with real ice cream, they taste better. That’s why these stand out. Good-quality mix-ins also boost the appeal.”

And what about Wendy’s Frosty Shake? Well, Lee claims the shake “tasted harsh and artificial”.

As far as Chick-fil-A’s Coffee Caramel Milkshake, Lee compares the flavor to that of “Quik-Trip’s Frozen Cappuccino, creamy with a mild coffee flavor.” She goes on to say, “It’s pleasant enough at first, but the highly sweetened drink wears out its welcome after a few sips.”

So there you have it. We always knew Krystal’s MilkQuakes rocked, but thanks to Lee’s review, we think it’s safe to say the MilkQuake officially rules.

Hardee’s Truck Spotted at Krystal

We snagged this photo from our marketing department’s blog.

We’ve already posted pictures of the Burger King and the Chick-fil-A cow showing their preference for Krystal, and now Hardee’s is in on the small, square action.

Maybe those Thickburgers just aren’t cutting it, or perhaps this employee was hit with the irresistible Krystal craving.

We understand and know how it is. When you gotta have Krystal, you just gotta have Krystal.

Chick-fil-A Cow is a Krystal Lover

The famous Chick-fil-A cow is a Krystal Lover.

If the Burger King eating at Krystal and Jack almost finding himself in a Krystal box came as a surprise to you, today’s Krystal-lovin’ fast food mascot photo will be a shocker.

Yes folks, that’s who you think it is. It’s one of the famous Chick-fil-A cows sporting an “I’m a Krystal Lover” sticker.

We’re guessing (and hoping) he’s not a cannibalistic cow, but simply loves our new line of icy drinks, the Krystal Freeze, or prefers the smallness and squareness of our Krystal Chiks - or maybe it’s the way we spell it?

Either way, there’s no denying this “Chikin”-lovin’ cow loves Krystal.
