Alright, this is the last straw…

…that I’ll ever need. Mostly because Hardee’s Froot Loops Mini Donut Milkshake sounds like the shimmering iridescent zenith of all three of my greatest indulgent joys, and partly because I don’t know if my consequence-blind moderate lactose intolerance could resist impulsively imploding my intestines just to try one.

You may remember when Hardee’s and sister-cousin-doppelgänger chain Carl’s Jr. launched Froot Loops Mini Donuts last year. They looked like Moon Sand molded with ICEE syrup, and you could easily put away like six of ’em before noticing a strange, artificially colored aurora borealis emitting from your abdomen.

What fewer people remember is that Hardee’s “new” Froot Loops Mini Donut Milkshake was available alongside the Mini Donuts last year, but apparently in a much more limited context. Even the one photo I shared of it has since been deleted from Instagram, ostensibly removing it (and potentially its drinker) from history so Hardee’s could rewrite a more hype-worthy timeline wherein this shake is brand new.

Granted, that old shake was only spotted at Carl’s Jr., to my knowledge, and this 2019 Froot Loops Mini Donut Milkshake has only been announced by Hardee’s so far. They claim it “features creamy, hand-scooped ice cream mixed with real milk, blended and garnished with Froot Loops Mini Donuts and whipped topping.” In this case, the shake isn’t even the real star: it’s the free Mini Donut that’s nestled snuggly around the straw, practically begging you to remove the lid and let it slide into pasteurized oblivion.

The shake’s suggested retail price is $3.29, and select Hardee’s locations are also offering an order of Mini Donuts for only $1 with any purchase, which sounds like a slam dunk of a deal—or perhaps five of them.
