National Chocolate Milkshake Day In-Person
In 1885 a wonderful thing happened: the term “milkshake” was first recorded and introduced into the dessert world. The milkshakes of that time were a much different creation than that which are consumed today, but they still served as the predecessor to the beloved modern chocolate milkshake. After the electric mixer was invented in 1922, the story goes that a Walgreens employee in Chicago got a little crazy and decided to put two scoops of ice cream in a chocolate malt, which was made using an electric blender. After that, the drink quickly became a hit all throughout the U.S.
