Wait is OP actually talking about throwing milkshakes at people, or is it a term for something else?

I of course have heard of the classic trope of egging people, but never heard of anyone "milkshaking" someone before. Im with you tho, I feel like milkshakes are too expensive and wasteful for this sorta thing, don't wanna waste it all on a fascist!

Milkshaking is a real thing and does mean throwing milkshakes at people as a means of political protest.

it was a popular trend in the UK in 2019 to express political dissent against right-wing political figures and humiliate them publicly.
