Waxman Staff Writer Sep 23, 2015 3:32 PM UTC Hot on the heels of [the Pizza Rat video](http://time.com/4043775/pizza-rat-internet/), [_Mashable_](http://mashable.com/2015/09/22/milkshake-squirrel/#nlUhCzD7rkqb) has shared a clip of a squirrel digging a Shake Shack milkshake out of a trash can, pulling off the top, and sticking half of its body inside the paper cup to lap up the leftovers. Unlike Pizza Rat, this New Yorker got the job done, while his slice-loving cousin gave up half-way through his mission. We can’t wait to see what junk food-loving rodent pops up next. \[h/t [Mashable](http://mashable.com/2015/09/22/milkshake-squirrel/#nlUhCzD7rkqb)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4046272/milkshake-squirrel/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4046272/milkshake-squirrel/"},"headline":"Watch a Squirrel Dig a Shake Shack Milkshake Out of the Trash and Drink It All","datePublished":"2015-09-23T15:32:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:07.199Z","description":"Meet the latest rodent to work for his junk food","url":"https://time.com/4046272/milkshake-squirrel/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
