Chocolate Milkshake Day

12 September

Chocolate Milkshake Day is the 12th of September.

It’s a day that many people can enjoy their two favourite things together in one glass, ice cream and chocolate. The result is a thick, cold, creamy and chocolatey concoction that leaves you wanting more.

Some people wait for this day all year long.

Today, if you want, you can have a chocolate milkshake to go with breakfast, lunch and dinner.

There might not be any such thing as a bad chocolate milkshake, but there are good ones, and then there are great ones.

What’s your idea of a great one?

Do you like whipped cream and a cherry on top of your chocolate milkshake?

How thick do you like yours: so thick that you can’t suck it through a straw, or is that too thick?

What’s your favourite food to have with a chocolate milkshake?

Look for deals and special offers on chocolate shakes; don’t forget to check deals on apps.

Some places may offer you a free or drastically reduced-price chocolate milkshake if you buy something else. Some may just offer you a reduced price. Others may offer special edition chocolate milkshakes, like chocolate chip cookie dough chocolate milk shakes, or with caramel swirls, etc.

Have you ever had a white chocolate milk shake?
