Ghostbustin' Burger & Stay Puft Slime Shake - Wayback Burger

Ghostbustin' Burger & Stay Puft Slime Shake - Wayback Burger

I'm finally getting around to typing up this long overdue review! Nearly 2 months ago Dinosaur Dracula posted his review of the Ghostbusters themed menu offered at Wayback Burgers. Being a huge nerd of all things Halloween-ie, and a fan of the movies, I ran right out and placed an order.

Slim Jim Jerky Protein Milkshake - Wayback Burger

Slim Jim Jerky Protein Milkshake - Wayback Burger

Welp...I did it. I ordered a Slim Jim milkshake. Which is a thing that actually exists. When I placed the order at the register, the two (really nice) employees tried to talk me out of it, which is a pretty big red flag, but I really wanted to get something fun to post on the blog, so I ignored their warnings. May the foodie gods have mercy upon my stomach.

Cricket-Protein and Slim Jim Shakes at Wayback Burger? And it's not even April Fools?

Okay, so a friend of mine posted this on Facebook, I saw it and laughed thinking it was a gag...but it's not?! 

Apparently these were announced on June 29th, and they're totally real. I don't know about you, but I am no where near adventurous enough to eat cricket-based protein powder, even with chocolate to cover it up.

I might try the Slim Jim variety (only if it's cricket-free), but is this just a shock tactic? Are there people out there so protein-crazed that they are demanding bug-based shakes? I get it, protein is really trendy right now, but this? This has to be a ploy to get a ton of publicity. If so, it works! Here I am writing about it right now.

What is the foodie world coming to? Will any of you be trying the Oreo Mud Pie Cricket shake?
