It’s National Vanilla Milkshake Day
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY-TV/ CNN) - Forgoing your morning cup of joe for a cold vanilla milkshake is perfectly fine today.
Why? Because Monday is National Vanilla Milkshake Day!
Every year on June 20th the flavor that serves as the base for most milkshakes is honored.
FYI a vanilla milkshake was not always made with ice cream.
According to the national day calendar, people in 1885 served their milkshakes with whiskey instead.
That all changed in the early 19-hundreds.
Ice cream was added to the now "wholesome drink."
By the 1930s it was a hit in malt shops everywhere.
