The Slurp Juice Ape got itself milkshake ducked
What's so hard to understand here, people? Wipe those befuddled looks off your faces
Aux Features Ape
Alright, people. Listen up, because we’re only gonna say this once: The Slurp Juice Ape that can use multiple slurp juices just got itself milkshake ducked.
Oh, wipe those befuddled looks off your faces. This isn’t complicated. There are some apes, right? And each one (1) of them is able to employ a multitude of slurp juices, i.e. “so if you have 1 astro ape and 3 slurp juices you can create 3 new apes.” What’s difficult to understand here? And God help you if you ask us what the hell an “astro ape” is, because we have long since crossed the goddamn Rubicon on this one.
Word of the slurp juice apes only got out on Wednesday, but everyone already seems to have an opinion on said apes consuming said slurp juices. We’re not sure why, because it’s not like the combination of these words is somehow both utterly meaningless and simultaneously defiant of human logic…
Alright, fine—for those of you who feel like you need more context, we’ll just say that all this “slurp juice ape” talk refers to a minor/potentially scammy line of collectible non-fungible tokens, better known as NFTs or “the digital equivalent of Beanie Babies, but somehow less useful.”
On Wednesday, a Twitter account tweeted out the “slurp juice ape” post, which quickly spread across the memeverse. The post declared, “a lotta yall still dont get it ape holders can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape so if you have 1 astro ape and 3 slurp juices you can create 3 new apes.”
In arguably record time, however, the viral meme’s source was reportedly discovered to be associated with other accounts that have posted extremist hate content in the past, thanks to an update from Buzzfeed News. In recent years, this perennial online revelation has become jokingly referred to as getting “milkshake ducked.”
RareCandy, the NFT purveyor in question looks to be disputing this accusation, albeit obliquely, since nothing can be simple anymore. If you scroll far enough back in the Twitter timeline of one of the associated accounts, you’ll see some very upsetting sentiments, though. We will update accordingly to the best of our abilities, should something occur.
In the meantime, NFT sales are currently down about 92-percent from their all-time, for some reason.

No.
I hope you felt real shame after typing this up and submitting it.
Wait, this isn’t how I understood the phenomena of Milkshake Ducking at all. The Duck needs to do something innocuous and cute, so that when the horrible revelations come out we’re all disappointed and shocked. I think anyone reading that awful Juice Ape tweet could have guessed that the writer was capable of some pretty grim shit
I don’t know if there’s a name for when someone who got internet attention for being a bit of a douche turns out to be a much larger douche than anticipated, but it’s def not a Milkshake Duck situation.
The one good thing that came of this story was someone paying Dana Snyder to read the tweet as Master Shake on Cameo.
The world needs to see this.
OK, wow, that was well worth 37 seconds of my time. Dana Snyder remains king of the entertainingly-annoying characters.
How does H. Jon Benjamin playing live action Shake factor into your math?
That video convinced me that Dana Snyder’s voice for Master Shake is really a David Lynch impersonation in disguise.
Oh, OK, I get it — the bus is Dracula.
Also works as this guy:
Fucking love Al. “I have one more thing to try – STOP BEING A PUD! KNOCK IT OFF, YA DINGBAT! NOBOBY WANTS YOU TO OPEN A DOOR TO HELL!”
“Ooooh, I’m keeping this…”
“Three middle-aged guys running around chasing bad guys? It’s totally gay. And that’s coming from a guy who voluntarily has sex with men.”
I once met Dana Snyder when I was doing Artist Alleys at conventions. I was sharing a booth with another artist who had done a Master Shake print, and If I remember correctly, he bought a bunch so he could have them at his table to sign for people. He was extremely cordial and nice and friendly.
“Look what we have here.. pipe cleaners, a stapler, and a pound of human hair. Then you’ll be able to have your very own Slurp Juice Ape that you designed!”
Can you be Milkshake Ducked if people hate you immediately? Isn’t this more of a Bean Dad?
That’s not how you milkshake duck! People have to LIKE the duck first, so that way it’s heartbreaking when we discover the duck is secretly married to Hitler.
Me reading this headline
I’m well out out of my twenties, so I didn’t understand one word of this.
Thank you. I won’t say it’s any dumber than the language of previous generations, but I will say it’s really fucking stupid in its own right.
It’s simple, really. Just give me a big pile of money and I’ll burn it all so it will never bother you again. That’s what I’ll do. Honest. Trust me.Or at least you’ll never see it again, anyway.
And people think that going back in time and killing baby Hitler is taboo.🙄
Why’s he have to be a baby? Can’t we kill him when he was an art student? Talk about “two birds, one stone” . . .
Why’s he have to be a baby? Can’t we kill him when he was an art student? Talk about “two birds, one stone” . . .But I heard he was a great painter!
I’d wager that the very serious nft bros have quite a high rate of racist pieces of shit in their midst.
Crypto-adjacent technologies are a strange attractor for assholes. We can use that to our advantage.
Man how is this even worthy of half a second of my time. I get the original tweet was a moment of absurd humor, but then to write an article on how they are also connected to something terrible (outside of NFTs) and not give ANY details of what that means… It just feels like none of this needs to exist.
I get that the whole point of this is that these words are largely meaningless unless you’re terminally online, but this article definitely goes out of its way to be more confusing than it has to be on purpose.And, as others have noted, in order for something to be “Milkshake Ducked”, it has to be something that people care about and like on a large scale first. Not some scammy NFT nobody cared about in the first place.That’s less a Milkshake Duck and more of a “Sounds About Right”.
I’m so angry that I know what milkshake ducking is and that I feel obligated to correct you in this regard.
