Smooth, creamy, frothy, these are just a few of the descriptions that run straight through our heads when we indulge in that all-time beloved frozen confection: the chocolate milkshake. It seems like the rise of the chocolate milkshake came at the same time that drugstores of old began selling soda fountain drinks consisting of a scoop of ice cream with tantalizing flavors added.
It was inevitable, I guess, that once chocolate syrup was poured over ice cream in a dish, that it would one day wind up in a glass. For the past fourty years or so, millions of people have enjoyed a frosty chocolate milkshake as part of a customary fast food meal of hamburger and French fries. Of course, it's just as delicious all by itself, but the fast food restaurants have caught on to our absolute love for the chocolate shake.
