The History of The Milkshake

The popular dessert that we see today in local fast food restaurants to the old fashion secret recipes. The milkshake is one of the most common desert Americans eat today. But do you know the history behind the milkshake?

"The first milkshake that was used in print, believe it or not, was in 1885, at this time a milkshake was made with whiskey and was described as more of a healthy eggnog taste. At this time the milkshake was served as a tonic as well as a treat. By the time the 1900's hit the milkshake was commonly asked to be served with ice cream and was described as a wholesome drink with certain favors of chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla syrups. By the time the 1930's came the milkshake was the common fountain drink at restaurants, and also a teenage hangout place for that time. The milkshake was impacted greatly when in 1922, the first electrical blender or mixer was invented by Steven Poplawski. With this made milkshake began to take the modern day form of the whipped, frothy, creamy form. Malted drinks also began common as they were made with dried milk, malted barley, and wheat flour. The use of the malted powder milkshake began popularized by a Chicago drugstore known as Walgreens." (Wikipedia.com) "In 1922, Walgreens' employee Ivar "pop" Coulson made a milkshake by adding two scoops of ice cream to the original malted powder recipe. This kind became known as the "Horlick's Malted Milk" it was featured in Walgreens drugstore chain and soon became the most popular fountain drink at its time. The automation of milkshakes developed in the 1930s, after the invention of freon-cooled refrigerators, provided a safe, reliable way of automatically making and dispensing ice cream. In 1937 the milkshake was made easier to drink when the first bendable straw was made."(www.mshake/history.html) In 1939 the popular frosted shake became common when you can add a pinch of your favorite ice cream to the malted milk. In the 1950s, milkshakes were called "frappes", "velvets," "frosted [drinks]", or "cabinets" in different parts of the U.S. A specialty style of milkshake, the "concrete," was "...a milk shake so thick that the server hands it out the order window upside down, demonstrating that not a drop will drip." (www.wikipedia.com) is also commonly done today by Dairy Queen to show the thickness of there ice cream. Also in 1950 a popular food chain restaurant started the era of fast food milkshakes, this restaurant is seen today and know as McDonald's. This revolution continued all the way up to the 2000's as not much changed during this time. In 2006, the U.S. Agricultural Research Service developed reduced-sugar, low-fat milk shakes for lunch programs. The shakes have half the sugar and only 10% of the fat of commercial fast-food shakes. Schools need a milk shake machine or soft-serve ice cream machine to serve the milkshakes. The milkshakes also have added fiber and other nutrients, and they have much less lactose, which makes the shakes appropriate for some lactose intolerant people. In 2006, milkshake use rose by 11% because of what many believe that the summer fun is remembered by a good milkshake. Also statistics came out that the average milkshake in 2006 made 75% profit of the average 3.38$ price. But, today you can find milkshake everywhere from at home to fast food Chains and local restaurants, so the next time you drink a milkshake remember how the milkshake has gotten here.
