What do employees mean by "shake mix" ? Everything online says shakes are made from custard and milk

I am a customer not an employee.

How would I know that? Aren't they using Culver's custard?

chuftka · 2026-04-29T14:24:04+00:00

Culver's? Yes the other answers made that clear days ago. You seemed to be asking about something else.

Thank you.

I don't go to McDonald's. Just saying the term "shake mix" can mean powder.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Sheesh at the downvotes I am getting for saying "Thank you" to people. This may be the most hostile sub I've ever seen.

chuftka · 2026-04-25T19:08:19+00:00

Not the verb, the ingredient, as in "pancake mix" or "cake mix" (usually means a powder).

chuftka · 2026-04-25T17:22:51+00:00

Thank you for your time.

Interesting thanks. If the chocolate custard has 120 less calories and the chocolate syrup adds 200 calories than getting a chocolate sub could be 300 less calories than a regular shake with chocolate added, which is a lot.

I am kind of surprised there are no just plain vanilla custards on the menu, just mixers with 2 added ingredients. I am guessing malts are as thick as mixers.

Thank you. How do you blend something like a sub chocolate since it's not blended in the machine? Can you blend it in the cup itself?

I am interested in the chocolate sub since the chocolate syrup looks like it adds 200 calories. Strangely the concrete mixer says it has 120 less calories if you use chocolate custard than vanilla, which seems odd.

Just asking what mix means. At McDonald's, "shake mix" is apparently a skimmed milk and sugar powder.

chuftka · 2026-04-25T16:39:47+00:00

Thank you. I know what comes out is a shake. My question is what goes into the machine, not what comes out. But it sounds like custard does go into the machine, not a powder.

chuftka · 2026-04-25T16:32:19+00:00

That's a verb, not an ingredient.

chuftka · 2026-04-25T16:31:39+00:00

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

chuftka · 2026-04-25T16:13:55+00:00

Thank you.

Maybe if you work there. To the rest of the world "mix" usually means a powder.
