Economy Candy may be the happiest place in Lower Manhattan, but adding the goods to ice cream is next level.

To celebrate the end of summer, Creamline, the farm-sourced restaurant operating in partnership with Upstate New York’s Ronnybrook Farm, is debuting a milkshake collaboration with the iconic Economy Candy. The third such partnership between the downtown businesses, this milkshake will be available exclusively from Thursday, August 24 through Monday, September 4.

The Creamline Frizzles Milkshake is a Ronnybrook Farm vanilla milkshake with both crushed Skittles and pieces of freeze dried Skittles, so you can literally taste the rainbow with every sip. The milkshake will be $10 and is in honor of Economy Candy’s second location (the first expansion in 85 years!) in Chelsea Market, where Creamline is located. 

Creamline and Economy’s Candy’s first-ever collab was this past March, when a Junior Mints shake helped celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. For Independence Day, the two iconic brands created a red and blue Pop Rocks milkshake for in-mouth fireworks. 

When they’re not serving candy collabs, Creamline always offers burgers, chicken sandwiches (including the fan-favorite honey butter fried chicken sandwich), grilled cheese, milkshakes, and more. Standard milkshake flavors include vanilla, chocolate fudge, strawberry, two cookies and cream and peanut butter. All shakes are topped with house-made whipped cream.

Members of the United Panther Movement (UPM) brought a U-Haul truck full of food to Trenton, New Jersey, on Saturday, Aug. 14th. The event was an opportunity to serve poor people in New Jersey, UPM  chair Zulu Sharod said.

“We were invited by the Black Lives Matter New Jersey (BLMNJ),” Sharod explained in a note to the AmNews. “They have no connections with the Global Network. They are a poor organization serving a poor, neglected, and often exploited constituency the Democrats or Republicans consider scum of the earth. Every year BLMNJ hosts this community event with no help from politicians or monopoly corporations. They are a donation-based organization.”

“The purpose of the United Panther Movement (UPM), its intent and impact was as an ancillary unit. Our job was to assist them. We did this as a way to build a foundational unity across the state of New Jersey with organic and grassroots organizations serving the people mind, body and soul. Panther Power!”
