Is the Mars milkshake discontinued, and was it tasty?

Posted by Other_Exercise@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 19 comments

For about two decades, I've fancied the Mars milkshake often sold alongside Frijj in the newsagents, but I've never got around to buying one. Now I'm emotionally ready, I feel like a mars bar milkshake - but nowhere seems to sell them anymore. Have they been discontinued, and if it has, was it any good?

I bought those baked a couple of times. Quite average. Doesn't live up to what you hope for. Would have rather got a Frijj. Same goes for the Milky Way ones.

Would you rather have a Frijj or a Yazoo?

That's a difficult question. Frijj is thicker and seems more like a milkshake. Yazoo is sweeter but tasted a lot better 20 years ago.

It's sold in supermarkets. You can get them from Tesco.

I don't think it is discontinued, I had one recently. It is pretty tasty.

Not had one in years but they are/were great. Do just taste exactly like a liquid Mars Bar.

I’ve never had one. I am now determined to buy one ASAP in case the chance disappears eternally

I imagine they were discontinued around the same time that the Gov brought in higher sugar taxes!

You have not missed anything, thick chocolate milk and not enough caramel flavour or malt sugar to be very evocative of a Mars bar which is perhaps one of the most exquisite creations of this entire reality
