Would you pay $15 for a giant milkshake? (PIP)

[orangeblossom]

I love a good milkshake, but I just don't know if I'd pay $15 for one.

A restaurant in New York has two hour lines for these giant milkshakes.

Despite freezing temperatures in New York City, dessert lovers are waiting in lines up to two hours long just to get a taste of these "hella insane" milkshakes.



The artfully-designed shakes, which are almost a foot tall, sell for $15 at Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer, according to the the restaurant's head chef and owner, Joe Isidori.



Black Tap first launched the milkshakes this past November, Isidori told ABC News. The shakes, which "look great and taste great," have since spread like wildfire on social media, where users have been snapping and sharing mouth-watering photos of the shakes, he said.




Isidori credited his wife as the inspiration behind the colorful shakes.



"One day my wife wanted me to make her a cotton candy milkshake, so I whipped something up, put it on Instagram and the rest is history," he said.



Black Tap currently offers three main specialty milkshakes for $15 at its two Manhattan locations.

Well, now that I see pictures...yes. And I kinda wanna wait on line for one now. I think I'll be a little late to trivia on Monday, @dontcallmeshirley1.

I love milkshakes, but that is too much even for me! Maybe just as a "try it once" kinda thing.

[bugandbibs]

For that? Absolutely. That looks like $15 worth, plus I'm assuming most people share.

[pixy0stix]

Maybe, if I had 5 other people with me.

[rootbeerfloat]

I'd pay $15, but I'm not too excited about standing in line for 2 hours. But the cookie one looks amazing!

Definitely. I saw this yesterday and was all over it. But ice cream related things are my weakness.

Have you had the red velvet doughnut ice cream sandwich from the Good Truck (I think that's it) food truck.  Oh my goodness, so good.  It should be against the law it was so good.

[orangeblossom]

If I did get one, it'd be the cotton candy one. Cotton candy, rock candy, bubble gum AND ice cream. Yum.

I'll add you on my list of 5 to share. This is the one I'd pick, too.

ETA: As long as you didn't try to sneak vegetables into it.

[meshaliuknits]

I would pay but not wait.

I've paid $12 for a milkshake before. It had booze in it & was delicious.

Oh oh! That's mine too! I want in!

I love milkshakes, and would probably pay $15 for a giant one, but it would have to actually be milkshake- not accessories, like the above. The whole point of a milkshake is that it is ice cream you can eat through a straw.

Nope, no vegetables in it.  For that, I'd eat vegetables all day every day for a week leading up to that, so I could revel in the deliciousness of that milkshake.

[expatpumpkin]

Sure, but I'd have to share it!

[Velar Fricative]

The cookie one all the way.

[agnes]

That's not just a milkshake. I would totally spend $15 on one of those.

[bronxgirl]

Sounds to me like a good NYC GTG! (although I don't think I want to share)

[agnes]

I would not wait 2 hours for one. That is ridiculous.

[msmerymac]

Sure. Of course, I would have to split it with someone. So it's totally worth it.

Me too! Boozeshakes need to be more of a thing.

[Vespasia]

Sure but it better make me feel like this

[Michelle]

That milkshake looks like it is worth 15 bucks. But I wouldn't stand in line for it for 2 hours. I think the one I'd pay for is the cotton candy one because the others look like something I could make but that first one does not.

That one only cost $5! But inflation, I guess lol.

Yes! ::adds to list::

[Alyssa]

No....those are a little out of control. I would only want a cookie off of it. (I'm not a huge sweets person)

[sushi]

I know H would. And has. He managed to spend that much in Beijing b/c he went to haggen daaz which is like a 3rd date type of place there. He kept telling them to put more ice cream in.

[skwcm80]

Fuck yes! I'm a sucker for milkshakes. I was the reason for a detour on the way to H&F gtg last week. Those Smashburger shakes won't drink themselves.

Sorry CallingAllAngels and arch01 !

[agnes]

Srsly. I can't get over waiting 2 hours for a milk shake. Nothing edible is worth that.

We have them at a few restaurants in town and I always get them. Yum.
