Happy Chocolate Milkshake Day! To celebrate, you can:
~ Read up on the history of the milkshake:
“When the term ‘milkshake’ was first used in print in 1885, milkshakes were an alcoholic whiskey drink that has been described as a ‘…sturdy, healthful eggnog type of drink, with eggs, whiskey, etc., served as a tonic as well as a treat’. However, by 1900, the term referred to ‘wholesome drinks made with chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla syrups.’”
