Learn More About The Milkshake Drawing

Milkshakes are dessert beverages made from ice cream and milk. The term "milkshake" was first used in 1885, and early milkshakes contained alcohol.

Before the invention of the electric blender, milkshake ingredients had to be crushed and stirred by hand. The popularity of the milkshake increased as blenders and refrigerators became available in the early 1990s.

Notice that the milkshake in this drawing guide has a smiling face. When did people first begin drawing faces on food items? One example dates back centuries.

The Irish legend of Stingy Jack told of a ghost who roamed the Earth holding a burning coal in a carved-out turnip to light the way. People would carve ghoulish faces in turnips, beets, or potatoes in hopes of scaring this ghost away.

When Irish immigrants came to America, they used native pumpkins instead. This tradition of the Jack-o-lantern is still practiced today.

Today, many toys such as the Shopkins toy line, feature foods and other inanimate objects with cute faces. Millie Shake, Milly Shake, Melba Milkshake and Miki Milkshake are milkshake-themed Shopkins characters.
