Thirteen over-the-top milkshakes

The freak-milkshake trend is touching down in the GTA. On February 15, Oshawa’s Hollywood Cone (the place behind the $77 shake) is launching a line of “Mutant Milkshakes” (inspired by Australian bakery Patissez’s gravity-defying creations). Owners Tom Seaton and Joe Kelsey start their stunt shakes with a base of 11.5 per cent milk-fat ice cream, and then finish them off with house-made baked goods and candy-bar toppings. We ranked them from gluttonous to brings-all-the-boys-to-the-yard.
