Michael Jackson's legacy to live on ... in a milkshake

SEPTEMBER 25, 2009

When you think of dignified ways of preserving the memories of your loves ones, does inventing a new milkshake flavor in their honor pop to mind? It did for La Toya Jackson.

The flakiest of the remaining Jackson siblings turned up this week at West Hollywood’s Millions of Milkshakes to create a frosty treat worthy of Michael Jackson’s legacy. According to EOnline, the yet-unnamed shake has strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, Skittles, mixed nuts, caramel, whipped cream and a Cadbury flake. (The nuts and flakes we get, but Skittles? Yeesh.)

Apparently, celeb-designed drinks are all the rage at Millions of Milkshakes. Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff stopped off after appearing on Dancing With the Stars on Wednesday to design their own desserts. No Skittles were harmed, thankfully.

No '80s stars are listed among the existing celebrity shakes, but the store also boasts of its hot dogs. Maybe Sean Daly and I can get a couple "weiners" named after us some day.
