Just when you thought they couldn’t come up with anything stranger, along comes Burger King’s new milkshake that has chunks of the famous, sugary breakfast cereal. USA TODAY’s Diana Kruzman gives it a try. Video by Diana Kruzman and Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY.
Burger King now has a Lucky Charms milkshake — a combo of childhood nostalgia, ice cream and enough sugar to test the luck of any leprechaun.
Mixed together are vanilla soft-serve ice cream, syrup, Lucky Charms cereal and, of course, marshmallows.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration hasn’t established how much sugar is OK to eat in a day, but it’s safe to say this concoction’s 107 grams of sugar would not be part of a balanced breakfast.
Altogether, it has 740 calories, 17 grams of fat, 580 mg of sodium and 129 grams of carbohydrates. The cost: $2.99. It’s available for a limited time at participating Burger King restaurants across the nation.
The Lucky Charms shake is latest in a trend of taking sugary cereals, once served as a nutritious breakfast by parents across America, and injecting them into ice cream and other treats.
Burger King has served a Froot Loops shake, which combined vanilla soft-serve, Froot Loops cereal and “sweet sauce.” Ben & Jerry’s introduced new flavors earlier this year to taste like the milk leftover after three childhood staples: Frosted Flakes, Cocoa Pebbles and Froot Loops.
The company is excited about the partnership.
“The mashup of our velvety vanilla-flavored soft serve and one of America’s classic breakfast cereals is something we think our guests are going to love,” said Alex Macedo, Burger King’s president of North America.
