About National Chocolate Milkshake Day
The most popular milkshake flavor in the U.S. is strawberry. States like California and Illinois love the red berry flavor, while Texans crave pineapple in their shakes.
Many flavor combinations make your drinkable dreams come true, like shakes topped with cake, candy, cookies, and crunchy cereal. These fully loaded treats have come a long way since 1922. That's when a Walgreen's employee named Ivan "Pop" Coulson added vanilla ice cream to the store's chocolate milk malt, via Hankering For History. Adding ice cream to the simple malt drink has stood the test of time.
