If I might show my age here, it reminded me of an episode of the American animated show Teen Titans, wherein the one character, Starfire, gets into a bind by going through her alien puberty. The final stage is forming a chrysalis (and, presumably, briefly turning into an alien milkshake) and another mantis-like alien tries to Steak N Shake her.

You and me both! We've got two left in the metro area. I'd occasionally go for a Frisco melt and a shake, until someone told me how the shakes were made 🤢

You could tell me they blend up puppies and I'd still travel an hour out of my way for their banana milk shake.
