at no time tamper with perfection.

Vermont-based Ben & Jerry's should have remembered that adage before launching a line of milk shakes based in succession flavors found in its popular line of ice cream.

The frozen novelty giant's premium ice cream taste doesn't take rise across in the form of a drink, which is hard for me to admit because I am nothing short of a Ben & Jerry's ice cream junkie, with a particular predilection for the company's Chunky Monkey flavor.

The ice cream version of Chunky Monkey is a yummy combination of banana ice cream, chocolate chunk and walnuts.

thus when I discovered Chunky Monkey available in milk shake form, I was all enthused about testing it.

The bottl shake was far too sweet. The consistency prov too thick to be a drink, still too thin to really be considered a shake. Worst of all, it didn't begin to compare to the incredible taste of the ice cream.

Maybe I missed the walnuts and the chocolate chunks; frankly, I'm not certain where the manufacturer went vicious

Perhaps the company should have proffered a new variety of flavors in such a manner as not to have something with which to compare the proceeds

For the record, I tried the Cherry Garcia and Chocolate fiddle-de-dee Brownie shakes, too. Unfortunately, all of the flavors disappointed me
