The burger chain has long been known for its range of shake flavours – so why not add another to the list?

In a world already bursting with creative milkshake flavours, Five Guys has taken things to the next level with a new shake that’s as indulgent as your Sunday binge-watch session.

Say hello to the Popcorn Shake, landing in Five Guys UK restaurants from Tuesday, October 22.

This limited-edition treat is a dreamy combo of popcorn syrup and crunchy popcorn pieces, blended into the signature thick, creamy shake that Five Guys fans know and love.

It’s the kind of drink that makes you feel like you’re at the cinema, except with fewer queues and more deliciousness.

Five Guys started by teasing the new flavour with a movie-esque trailer – which had one TikToker hazard a correct guess of popcorn in the comments.

However, other users weren’t so excited, with Nate.151 replying: ‘Gross misconduct that is fella’.

Over on Instagram, fans weren’t so dismissive, with George_Livett commenting: ‘This looks wicked!’, while OfficialCliff_Gray added ‘I can’t wait’.

However, there does seem to be some lament for previous limited edition flavours, with Instagram users commenting to bring back the pistachio and malt shakes.

But if you are keen to give the popcorn flavour a try, you can grab yours early — if you’re savvy about it. Subscribers to the Five Guys email list will receive VIP access on October 21, along with a secret code giving them first dibs on the exclusive flavour. No spoilers, but you’ll want to keep your inbox refreshed for that one.

For those who love getting experimental with their milkshakes, the Popcorn Shake offers a whole new mix-in option to explore — adding to the over 1,000 combinations already available at Five Guys.

And yes, it’s still, so you can create everything from a popcorn-Oreo fusion to a salted caramel popcorn masterpiece.
