Triple Thick Shakes

The Triple Thick Shake was a menu item carried in the Northeastern US from 1996 to 2011, until it was discontinued for poor sales. It consisted of your typical McDonald's shake ingredients, simply mixed poorly and run thru the shake machine three times, where the item gets its name. It caused wide controversy due to its excessive amount of fat, at 27 grams, because of the amount of shake materials needed to make a shake three times as thick in the same volume as a shake. Many concerns were raised by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) because they claimed it took a "whole mama cow's udders worth of milk," according to one spokesman, though this figure was never actually proven to be true. Nonetheless, PETA and the extra pressure applied by the Mothers for an Independent Lactose-free Family, a political advocacy group focused mainly on the dangers of dairy products in food children are encouraged to eat, as it is often thought that increased levels of cow's breast milk raises estrogen levels in young boys and men, pressured the consuming public into an outrage, leading to such decreased sales that the item had to be discontinued.

There was a large push for a return of the Triple Thick Shake in the summer of 2016, after comedian Ricky Gervais commented how much he missed the shake in his Netflix comedy special, Petulant Manchild. The movement found no success with McDonald's corporate, much to the chagrin to fans of Gervais. The hashtag #ThickBoySeason was trending on Twitter for 3 weeks following this event, but it was quickly forgotten about by the public.

Controversy
As mentioned above, the political advocacy group Mothers for an Independent Lactose-free Family raised a large campaign against McDonald's, claiming their inclusion of dairy products had "been taken past the logical extreme, to the point of reckless abandon for our children, families, and future." This movement was lead by a Sacramento woman, claiming the increased amount of cow's milk had exposed her child to excessive estrogen levels, saying "the thick shakes feminized and sissified my son," complaining to corporate that since her son started frequently consuming the shakes, he had not only gained a significant amount of weight, but was obsessed with cock, cum, and letting older men dominate him sexually. She claimed she overheard him talking with his online friends one night during the height of his gay sex addiction, claiming this was planned all along, and that it was called the Triple "Thick" Shake because it would make young boys "thicc," meaning curvy and soft, therefore more attractive to men, because of their supple thighs and cute squishy bellies.

McDonald's took no notice of these complaints.
