Today I had the opportunity to try a Sonic Peanut Butter Bacon shake. Here is my review of that shake…
The short of it: It’s good!
The cost of it: A small runs about $2 bucks
Overall bacony goodness rating: 3.5 out of 5 strips of bacon.
Amount left after testing: None

The shake was good. It had distinct flavors of both peanut butter and bacon as well as vanilla ice cream. In my book the best of everything. The bacon was real “crumpled” bacon not a powder or imitation bacon. The bacon crumbles were between about an 1/8th to a 1/16th of an inch in size.
The peanut butter was smooth peanut butter. The shake was topped with whipped toping and a cherry. Both of which enhanced the flavor of the shake.
The consistency of the shake is very smooth with salty chunks of bacon scattered throughout. It had both a sweet and salty flavor that was distinctly bacon. It reminds me of almost a maple smoked bacon.
If you do get one of these shakes be sure to ask for a spoon. Some of the bacon chunks are just a bit to big to make it up the straw. Because the bacon doesn’t always fit it has a tendency to clog up the straw. When you finish the shake you will find a treasure trove of Bacon waiting for you at the bottom of the cup. This is quite a delight and a great way to end the shake.
Overall this is a pretty good shake. The bacon chunks not fitting up the straw and/or it not coming with a spoon caused it to loose half a strip of bacon.
As you can tell from the one picture I have of the cup that it comes in… I didn’t leave a whole lot behind.
Pictures of an actual shake will be posted at a later time. (If I can get one without taking a bite prior to the picture.)
