PLUS, TODAY WE CELEBRATE: Chocolate Milkshake Day
National Chocolate Milkshake Day on September 12 brings chocolate and ice cream lovers together. Forget the calories for just this one day and enjoy a sweet tall, thick and delicious, chocolate milkshake! The term milkshake first appeared in print in 1885. During this period, a milkshake was referred to as an alcoholic beverage described as a "sturdy, healthful eggnog type of drink" blended with eggs, whiskey, and other ingredients. Pharmacies served the drink as a tonic and a treat to customers. By 1900, pharmacies offered this "wholesome drink" with either chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla syrup
