Milkshakes

Some are thick. Some are thin.  Most are yummy.  Milkshakes are the popular drink of ice cream, milk, and select flavoring.  However, they did not always look the way they do today.  There are many interesting facts and an even more intriguing history that can be learned about milkshakes.

Milkshakes have been around for a long time.  The first milkshake is documented in print in a 1885 newspaper.

In the early days, milkshakes did not just include the typical ingredients of milk, ice cream, and flavoring.  Back then, a little whisky was added to milkshakes.  No wonder they became so popular!
