The Freakshake Craze

Claire Miles

In the morning of life, when its cares are unknown, And its pleasures in all their new lustre begin, When we live in a bright-beaming world of our own, And the light that surrounds us is all from within; Oh 'tis not, believe me, in that happy time We can love, as in hours of less transport we may; -- Of our smiles, of our hopes, 'tis the gay sunny prime, But affection is truest when these fade away.

When we see the first glory of youth pass us by, Like a leaf on the stream that will never return, When our cup, which had sparkled with pleasure so high, First tastes of the other, the dark-flowing urn; Then, then in the time when affection holds sway With a depth and a tenderness joy never knew; Love, nursed among pleasures, is faithless as they, But the love born of Sorrow, like Sorrow, is true.

In climes full of sunshine, though splendid the flowers, Their sighs have no freshness, their odour no worth; 'Tis the cloud and the mist of our own Isle of showers That call the rich spirit of fragrancy forth. So it is not 'mid splendour, prosperity, mirth, That the depth of Love's generous spirit appears; To the sunshine of smiles it may first owe its birth, But the soul of its sweetness is drawn out by tears.

- Thomas Moore

Let’s Talk About Cricket

Cricket has been a prevalent sport in the subcontinent for a long time. It is something that the locals relate with to a great extent. Be it bowling, or batting, or fielding for a match.

What are Sports to Society?

Military Culture

You might have heard that different cultures exist across different ethnicities, but if you have seen some of the most classical military-based movies like “A few good men”, or otherwise have an interest in military life, then you will know that there is a completely different culture in the Military and although civilians might not be able to understand that culture, it is well practiced in the military.

We all know how the world adores shakes. The Austrians knew this really well so they invented a specific kind of overloaded shake known as Freakshake. As the name suggests, the shake was not only huge, but was also topped with multiple toppings that were not only indulgent, but also became one of the most viral shakes. The idea came from Canberra to Newcastle from which it expanded dramatically.

It was noted that one of the restaurants even added pork and cheese into their shakes just to ensure that they reach the crazy level. The presentation is done by covering mason jars with different kinds of toppings such as white chocolate, ganache, American buttercream frosting, and dark chocolate as per your liking. The chocolate is then rolled around the top into chocolate dressings such as M&Ms, peanuts, chocolate chips, jellies; the options are endless. One of the major reasons for the rise of these freakshakes was that they got extremely viral on social media and drinking it allowed you to enter into the cool and influential gang. Many restaurant owners claimed that the reason their shake went viral was because of the social media influence of posting a picture of the shake after ordering it seems the best thing that many people did.

Such shakes look like what a pure 2 year old would want, however, these shakes led to many concerns in the health departments when they realized the amount of fat one was consuming. These freakshakes were then banned for a while due to their research which concluded that these shakes contain steroids. However, you do not need to worry as you can create these shakes at home. Just pop your favorite ice cream and milk together in a blender. Decorate your glass with multiple toppings and you are good to go.
