You and Your ShakeAway: Who is The Biggest ShakeAway Fan ever?
| George | Sarah & Will | Dave & Dave |
GEORGE..... A contender for ShakeAway's Biggest Fan!
George lives in New York but when she visits the UK she makes straight for ShakeAway...
Not only that, but George entered a "Create A Named MilkShake" competition, and at ShakeAway you'll see her combo
of "Reeses Cups with Extra Chocolate & Cream On Top" called "George"!
And, this well-travelled woman never goes anywhere without her ShakeAway Cup for a photo opportunity!
To quote George....
"I so love ShakeAway! I usually get to England twice a year and I always try to get to a ShakeAway....
Here's my best ShakeAway story:
I was on my way from Portsmouth to Heathrow by bus. My friend Lisa surprised me at the Southampton bus stop with my favorite shake (chocolate, Ginger Nuts and custard)!! Her boss let her come in late so she could drive from Beaulieu to Southampton ShakeAway to get me the desired shake..... She's the best and so is ShakeAway!!!! The shake was long gone by the time I got to the airport, but I washed it out in the plane's bathroom and stuffed it with paper towels so it wouldn't get squashed!"
Our first contact from George.....
The Midnight Run in New York City!
ShakeAway at the Big Apple!
George took ShakeAway to join the
Emerald Nuts Midnight Run, said goodbye
to 2005 and welcomed 2006!
By November 2006, George has won a "Design A Named MilkShake" combo competition and ShakeAway now sells "George" everyday (Reese's Cups, Extra Chocolate & Whipped Cream on top). Then she leaves New York to visit the UK again and tours SIX of the nine ShakeAway Shops! Here are some photos!

George in Ye Olde Oxford ShakeAway
George in Oxford ShakeAway with Abby Shakette and her own "George" MilkShake!
George strikes again with the most Northerly ShakeAway Cup ever!
Having taken her ShakeAway Cup home to New York she then went to the Arctic Circle....
...and he DOES exist! George met Santa with her ShakeAway Cup!
While in the Arctic Circle you simply have to introduce a Reindeer to ShakeAway!
With George traveling the globe with her ShakeAway Cup, it's getting like a "Where's Wally" book!
From the Arctic to the South Pacific! George next takes ShakeAway to French Polynesia, seen here with her Fern Crown and her Faithful Cup!
This is Cook's Bay, although the picture below where George is stood (with her Cup, of course) by the Palm Tree is Opunohu Bay.
It was Opunohu Bay where Captain Cook first landed (no, not in a plane, he was in his ship, duh) and not Cook's Bay,
contrary to what most people think. If you get asked that at a Pub Quiz, you owe George a fiver...
Life's a Beach for George! The black sand of Tahiti, below, and right, relaxing after a hectic day of
snorkelling!
Oh, very clever photography! George, her Cup and tropical waterfalls!!
ShakeAway becomes part of the art installation at George's hotel, and she also learned how to make a "Fern Tattoo" seen
above.
Finally George heads back to NYC from Rangiroa Airport. The question is, where will George go next?
Is George ShakeAway's most dedicated fan? Or do you know better??!! Sarah and
Will reckon they do....
SARAH AND WILL..... A way to celebrate their love!
Now meet Sarah and Will...
They decided they wanted to celebrate their
wedding anniversary in style and do something romantic they both loved. So....
The result was their "Here To The Pier 2008" Road Trip!
To leave their home in Lincoln, UK, and visit all ten (open at that time)
ShakeAway Shops in three days!
Here is their trip through Oxford, Bristol, Bath, Bournemouth, Southampton,
Winchester, Reading, Kingston, Croydon and Brighton!
Day One: First stop to see Lauren Shakette in ShakeAway Oxford...
Then onto ShakeAway Bristol to meet Shakettes Rachel, Carly, Mike &
Adam...
Putting on their ShakeAway T-Shirts, they then went to ShakeAway Bath with
Katie, Ped & Grant Shakettes...
And Day One closed in Bournemouth where they met ShakeAway Finance Guru Carole
and Shakettes Sam, Robyn & Steph.
They chose the next day's Special MilkShake: Passion Fruit & Love Hearts
with Magic Stars on the top... how romantic!
Day Two: With Emma and Emily in ShakeAway Southampton, then Sarah & Will
start their day with a couple of Large Ones!
To ShakeAway Winchester next to meet Rosie and Kari... they've passed half way!
Up to ShakeAway Reading, excitedly met by Shakettes Gemma and Laura with not
much time to linger.
In ShakeAway Kingston at the end of Day Two with Shakettes James, Laura
& Stephanie... bed time...
Good Morning Day Three: the home run to visit ShakeAway Croydon to see Shakettes George & Mel...

...and the Winning Tape! ShakeAway Brighton, Shakettes Mel & Holly and a
hotel booked for their Wedding Anniversary!
Home again... Worryingly, Will's eyes might be red due to MilkShake overload!
DAVE AND DAVE..... Then along cames The Daves - to travel to all 12 UK ShakeAways (which were open in June 2008) in 48 hours!
Excited Shakettes anticipate the Dave & Dave Road Trip!
The First ShakeAway in their 48 hours.... Bournemouth!
Then straight to Southampton for ShakeAway Two!
Heading a bit north and Dave (on the right, not Dave on the left) shows he can
count to three at Winchester!
And Reading was next - four down, eight to go!
East to their number five in Kingston-Upon-Thames (and the Daves still haven't
changed their t-shirts)
And then double-handed counting in Croydon for ShakeAway Six!
A rush around the London M25 Motorway to Lakeside for The Daves' seventh
ShakeAway...
...and then south to Brighton for their number eight....
Then a dash north and inland to Oxford for ShakeAway number nine...
Heading west to ShakeAway Bath and the end getting closer.... eight fingers +
two thumbs = 10 ShakeAways!
Other Dave can now join in the counting! Their penultimate ShakeAway - Bristol
was number 11...
And down south-west to the most recent shop of the time - even with the
temporary sign! Plymouth!
The Daves did it! Twelve ShakeAway Shops in 48 hours,
and they each had a "Dave" Named MilkShake (Kinder Bueno, Ferrero
Rocher and a Crumbled Flake) at every stop!
Good on ya, guys, and just in time with several new ShakeAways opening after
Plymouth, this challenge can only get tougher!
And can anyone do such a trip and include the ShakeAways Australia and New Zealand, too? Now there's a thought..!
So, who is the Biggest Fan? George? Sarah & Will? Dave & Dave? Or do you know better...?!
