Milkshake Machine - Drink Up!

Peanut butter milkshakes are the most delicious milkshakes in the world.   Having a milkshake machine would be great (much better than a blender).  Peanut butter milkshakes could be served every day, maybe twice a day.  Peanut butter milkshakes are healthy; right?  Actually, that is what led to the invention of the first electric milkshake maker.  In 1911, Chester Beach, co-founder of Hamilton Beach, invented the first electric drink mixer.  He developed the drink mixer, or milkshake machine to satisfy the demand for malted milkshakes.  At the time, malted milk was said to have body building properties and health benefits.  Doctors and pharmacists were prescribing it to sick children, infants, invalids, fatigued or ill adults, and people who wanted to build up strength.  Drug store soda fountains began using the milkshake machine.  Prior to this invention, milkshakes were stirred (whipped by hand) or shaken (hence, the name).  The large commercial milkshake machines (fast food type) were developed forty years later.  The first electric blender was invented by Steven Poplawski in1922.       

A milkshake machine, or drink mixer, is much more convenient than a blender.  It is easier to clean and less hassle to use.  It mixes the milkshake faster and blends the ingredients better.  This makes it quick and convenient to enjoy a peanut butter milkshake, anytime.   A few of the best milkshake makers are:
