The weird-shake-named-after-a-maybe-fake-animal arms race has truly begun.
Hot on the heels of Starbucks' remarkably disappointing Unicorn Frappuccino, Arby's has introduced their own exotic cold drink: The Liger Shake. It's a mix of chocolate and orange, similar to how its namesake is the cross between a lion and a tiger. It's the fast food chain's first hybrid drink.
And yes, of course they made a Napoleon Dynamite reference.
Unlike unicorns, ligers are a real (albeit controversial) breed of animal that comes from a male lion and a female tiger. (The reverse breed is called a tigon. Seriously.) The Arby's press release says, "Despite rumors of magical skills, the liger is a very real and breathtaking beast. Arby's Liger Shake is a cross between the brand's Ultimate Chocolate Shake and Orange Cream Shake with stripes of Ghirardelli Chocolate Sauce, resulting in a handsome, liger-like blend of colors that is bursting with rich, sweet flavors."
The shake will only be available for the month of June, so I guess you'd better hunt this one down quick. (Heh, get it? 'cuz, like, jungle animals? They hunt?)
