So the question of the day is..... do you put ice cream in your milkshakes where your from, or just milk?

I live in Mass and we put milk, chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup in them. Places that are cheap use vanilla ice cream, but it's still yummy!

And we also have frappes/fribbles that are thicker (aka - more ice cream).

I thought it had to have ice cream to be a milkshake?

Dairy Queen, Chick-Fil-A, Bruester's, and Baskin Robbins put in ice cream. The rest (like McDonald's, Burger King, etc.) just put in milk and syrup...

Then why when you go to McD's do you have to suck so hard to get out the milkshake? LOL

That's the way I've always known it, but I've heard in other parts of the country it's just milk and syrup.... which to me is chocolate milk! LOL

This is so cool! It would have been good to know a few weeks ago, could have been a fun add on to a show. Is there anything else like this coming up?
BTW.. I put ice cream in mine! and everything else sweet I can find!

OK, not to hijack, but my first thought when I read this title was to wonder if this was for real or if you were pulling a pregnant woman trick on us all...

 

[redsoxgirl]

No ma'am - I never joke about chocolate

Here's a list I found real quick. There are lots of foos days

This just didn't seem right to me, so I looked it up on their websites.

Chocolate Shake Ingredients from McD's Website:

Vanilla Reduced Fat Ice Cream: Milk, sugar, cream, nonfat milk solids, corn syrup solids, mono- and diglycerides, guar gum, dextrose, sodium citrate, artificial vanilla flavor, sodium phosphate, carrageenan, disodium phosphate, cellulose gum, vitamin A palmitate.

Couldn't get a ingredient list from BK.

Looks like I will need to drink a chocolate milkshake today, since I don't want to ignore such a special holiday!! lol

Mmmmm...I just thought! I have Edy's peppermint ice cream, chocolate syrup, and milk. I can make one right here at home!!

I'll be over for lunch!

 

[buckeyefan08]

Me too! Me too!

 

[lacychef]

I guess we should have milkshakes for an after school snack:thumbup:
I've never heard of having one without ice cream though

 

[Hathery]

I believe I will indulge myself in a milkshake today to celebrate this joyous day! I can't guarantee it won't actually be a malt, though.

Not sure how you'd turn this into a PC party (but, hey, Cheffers are very creative!), but 9/19 (my DH's birthday!) is National Talk Like A Pirate Day - arghh.

 

[pampchefsarah]

when Egg Nog Shakes are available.

Don't you just love the holiday season??!!!:love:

You can turn ANYTHING into a PC party! My host today is having a cookout in conjunction with the show, and it's a 60s theme because it's the anniversary of the formation of the band The Monkees. So I'm making the Creamy One Pot Pasta, emphasis on "pot," and we're just playing up other things like that. She's even making Monkee Bread so people can sample the sprinkles.

For a pirate show, you can make "Walk the plank chicken" - 30 minute chicken, since they're both fast. Call everyone "matey."

And have everyone wear a patch over one eye!

I had to laugh because our wedding anniversary is the 28th of Sept. and it National Ask A Stupid Question Day! "Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" HA!

Just kidding I have a wonderful husband!
