Every so often, I review stuff on social media instead of here. The following item was reviewed on our Instagram page (@junkbanter) and didn’t receive the usual blog treatment of a not-so-clever story and a full array of images. This review heavily leverages that post on Instagram. Sorry I’m not better.
F’real Pumpkin Cheesecake Milkshake
All I wanted was a coffee. I had a particularly long workday for my real job, traveling down to Washington D.C. complete with maddening traffic and little time to eat Oreos. At the meeting I had to run, a client told me I had no idea what I was talking about. Well, shit… my job is to know exactly what I’m talking about.
This often happens in the field of auditing… nobody wants to be told that they’re not doing the best they can at their job. But such is my job, and I try my best to do my best. I hate not being liked, but nobody cares for an auditor as soon as they step into the room. It’s a stressful job at times, and this day was super stressful.
I stopped at a gas station to fill up my tank after the day, eager to return home. I stepped inside for a coffee while I waited. I was drained – dangerously low on pumpkin spices. But while getting a pumpkin spice coffee to hopefully fuel my evening run, I overheard three kids giggling furiously. Their mother was helping them prepare F’real milkshakes. I had never had one, but judging from the kids’ joy and excitement, maybe this would fix all…
Then I saw it: Limited edition F’real Pumpkin Cheesecake. My only thought was, “I deserve this.”
My thoughts are summarized below.
The F’real Pumpkin Cheesecake milkshake is one fine quality milkshake, something you might not expect from a gas station. Sexy ingredients include ice cream, butter, sugar, and cream cheese. There’s no cutting corners with the pumpkin either. It contains real pumpkin puree, nutmeg, and cinnamon. It’s creamy, smooth, and delicious with a superb spice blend. Maybe I should eat more things sold exclusively in gas stations… or maybe I should just improve at my job.
On this day in particular, the F’real Pumpkin Cheesecake milkshake sure hit the spot.

I can’t believe you’ve gone that long without trying one! The cake batter and cotton candy is my favorite, but the cotton candy will turn your mouth blue so don’t drink it right before you know you’ll be in pictures like I did before my brother’s graduation. Oops. No regrets, either, those were happy times :’)
I can’t believe it either after tasting one. Hahah your story, that sounds like something I would do. On purpose. I need to try the glazed donut one before it’s gone!
I have not tried the glazed donut, please report back if you get one! Their frozen cappuccinos are really good too, just a heads up 😉
Also, on a (very) unrelated note IHOP just released apple ring pancakes please please please try them for me so I can determine if I should get those or pumpkin on my next visit >~> I beg you like a hopeless child!
