across this peanut butter milkshake um I

2:15

remember when I was going to college I'd

2:17

buy these little boxes of like peanut

2:19

punch milkshakes from the corner shop

2:21

yeah and then they introduced me to

2:23

peanut butter milkshakes and then I saw

2:24

it at Five Guys I was like I'm sold what

2:26

is it about fish and chips that you like

2:27

so much I think it's really bad the

2:29

grease it's just like just makes it

2:32

taste so much better I guess is that so

2:34

positive I mean I guess so yeah I mean

2:36

it's not healthy for you I wouldn't

2:36

recommend it will you have it again
