In October 2010, Hudsons Coffee caused public debate when they introduced a milkshake spiked with four shots of espresso coffee called, Quad Shot Milkshakes, containing 400mg of caffeine in each drink, sweetened by 30ml of vanilla syrup and two scoops of icecream. The Australian Medical Association vice-president Steve Hambleton said, "six cups of coffee a day is considered the upper limit, but that's spread across the entire day. This is a lot of caffeine for one drink." Hudsons Coffee marketing director Rebecca Lowth said they were simply responding to customer demand, but warned, "we do not recommend the Quad Shot Milkshake or any beverage containing caffeine to children, pregnant women or people who may be sensitive to the effects of caffeine, such as those with heart conditions."

Famous quotes containing the word menu:
“...what a thing it is to lie there all day in the fine breeze, with the pine needles dropping on one, only to return to the hotel at night so hungry that the dinner, however homely, is a fete, and the menu finer reading than the best poetry in the world! Yet we are to leave all this for the glare and blaze of Nice and Monte Carlo; which is proof enough that one cannot become really acclimated to happiness.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“Any moral philosophy is exceedingly rare. This of Menu addresses our privacy more than most. It is a more private and familiar, and at the same time, a more public and universal word, than is spoken in parlor or pulpit nowadays.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The menu was stewed liver and rice, fricassee of bones, and shredded dog biscuit. The dinner was greatly appreciated; the guests ate until they could eat no more, and Elisha Dyer’s dachshund so overtaxed its capacities that it fell unconscious by its plate and had to be carried home.”
—For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
