Have you ever wondered how long milkshakes have been around? Your customer may wonder too. Give them a quick history lesson by sharing the following fact on your menu: the term milkshake came about in 1885. It was similar to eggnog and often alcoholic; the alcohol of choice was whiskey. By 1900, though, the milkshake had lost its alcoholic edge and become a sweet dessert. It was further popularized in 1922 by a Walgreen’s employee who added ice cream to malted milk. This was made easier by the invention of the electric blender the same year.
While there are many more interesting milkshake facts you can add to your menu, popular flavors, world records, and a short history are three of the best ones. Adding this information will fascinate patrons as they look through your milkshake options and choose their own delicious frozen treat.
