The taste:Anyone with a HUGE sweet tooth needs one of these milkshakes.
In-N-Out Burger sells three classic milkshake flavors: vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate.
It had a hand-spun texture and seemed very velvety when I swirled the straw around.
It tasted similar to mixing vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup together.
It had a rich flavor without being overpowering.
The winner:In-N-Out gets another gold star for making an amazing milkshake.

While both use real ice cream, In-N-Out’s shakes are lighter and creamier.
I still stand by the popular opinion that In-N-Out serves the ultimate burger.
The Double Double brings bold and delicious flavors that Shake Shack cannot stand up to.
Every ingredient tastes freshly made and they all come together to create a perfect sandwich.
However, I would still go back to Shake Shack.
