It's no secret that 2017 is the year of naming fancy drinks after mythical creatures like unicorns [1] and mermaids [2], but Arby's has a different idea in mind. The fast food chain has released a striped milkshake called the Liger Shake, named for its orange base and chocolate stripes. The new, limited-edition menu item is a cross between Arby's Ultimate Chocolate Shake (made with Ghirardelli chocolate) and the Orange Cream Shake, and the colorful dessert is topped with whipped cream. Commenting on the ever-present unicorn trend in a press release, Arby's stated, "Well, Arby's loves unusual creatures too — but not the imaginary or docile kind. No, Arby's loves real, powerful creatures, which is why the restaurant is proud to announce the introduction of its latest shake: The Liger."
Throwing shade at Starbucks [3], perhaps? While we're not sure about that, we are sure that the shake sounds incredibly refreshing and satisfying; orange and chocolate is a winning flavor combination. If you're mesmerized by ligers in general and this unique shake is calling your name, you have until the end of June to try it out.
