When Thick Shake Factory launched, their shakes were so full of ice cream that they were undrinkable from a straw till 10-15 minutes after they were prepared. Now thick shakes are mostly water (Keventers) and lack flavour (Makers of Milkshakes) as well since almost everyone uses non flavoured ice cream and adds the required syrup flavour. I guess Thick Shake Factory still uses flavoured ice creams and Milkshake Mafia still prepares Thick Shakes that are undrinkable from a straw but there doesn't seem to be an outlet that does both.
Being an avid reader of Google reviews, I find it really amusing that people count valet parking as a positive despite multiple cases of people getting back damaged cars or even challans for street parking. The parking issue is exacerbated by Google Maps not separating 2-wheeler and 4-wheeler parking like they do for navigation. Most places have reviews claiming 'plenty of parking', only they forget to mention that there's no parking for cars at all. Valet parking makes sense as a convenience where there is a huge parking space and people want to avoid walking from parking to their destination. Here, it's because the business doesn't have enough car parking and wants to cram 5 times as many cars as there are parking spots. Plus they park on streets and even empty plots of land of available.
Every 'in' eatery is jumping onto the glassware bandwagon. Chai Point uses them for iced tea takeaways, bakeries have started serving desserts in jars and even old outlets like CCD have started serving shakes in glass bottles (not to mention Keventers and Drunken Monkey). What do we do with the glassware after consuming the eatables? Unlike kulfi containers from sweet shops, the empty glassware can be returned for a discount at the time of next purchase.
