A Milk Shake History Lesson

Posted 2011-12-03 10:05:34 | Views: 15,330


The term milkshake was first used in print in 1885.
Milkshakes were an alcoholic whiskey drink that has been described as a "...sturdy, healthful eggnog type of drink, with eggs, whiskey, etc., served as a tonic as well as a treat".

By 1900, the term milkshake referred to "wholesome drinks made with chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla syrups."


The milkshake made it into the mainstream when in 1922 a Walgreens employee in Chicago, Ivar "Pop" Coulson, took an old-fashioned malted milk (milk, chocolate, and malt) and added two scoops of ice cream, creating a drink which became popular at a surprising rate, soon becoming a high-demand drink for young adults around the country.

By the 1930s, milkshakes were a popular drink at malt shops.
The automation of milkshakes developed in the 1930s, after the invention of freon-cooled refrigerators provided a safe, reliable way of automatically making and dispensing ice cream.
In the late 1930s, several newspaper articles show that the term "frosted" was used to refer to milkshakes made with ice cream.

In the 1950s, a milkshake machine salesman named Ray Kroc bought exclusive rights to a milkshake maker from inventor Earl Prince, and went on to use automated milkshake machines to speed up production in a major fast-food chain.


In 2000 there was developed a reduced-sugar, low-fat milk shakes for school lunch programs. The shakes have half the sugar and only 10% of the fat of commercial fast-food shakes.
In the 2000s, milkshakes began being used as part of the new trend of boutique-style "spa dentistry," which aim to relax dental patients and reduce their anxiety.

Nowadays we are lucky that we can a good milkshake. Just like the smoothie there are a countless number of flavors when it comes to milkshakes.

I love this. This is one photo shoot I have always admired. Nothing is better then photography mimicking masterful paintings from art history, right?

Marilyn Monroe Dirty Drawing on Car

DIRTY CAR ART: 

MARilyn MONROE

What do you get when you have a dirty car and a creative person around? You might see some awesome dirty car art. I am used to seeing text on cars saying "clean your car" or other obscene images or words. But, this artist (which I have no clue who she is) did this great image of Marilyn Monroe...with no reference material. Not bad, maybe this isn't the first time she has done this.

Nicolas Kennedy Sitton's Twisted Series

Twisted Architecture

Nicolas Kennedy Sitton‘s Twisted series uses photographic manipulation to distort the architecture of San Francisco. The photographer adds concentric circles to the images to form new shapes, with the buildings seemingly folding and toppling into themselves.

Nicolas Kennedy Sitton's interesting way of 

twisting and turning photos of cityscapes.

Snooping: 

So, I was snooping around Flickr like I usually do and came across some pictures with Isa Guana's account and these are just some of the pictures I enjoyed. 

Diggin' this sweater. Everybody loves Spider-Man...I mean girl. 

Not sure if this is Disneyland or Disney World. Pretty cool set up for a Mickey Halloween. 

I'm not from the westcoast, but to me this looks like In N Out Burger? Correct me if I'm wrong!?

Nicole Gastonguay's Happy Work

Posted 2011-11-16 02:29:09 | Views: 14,366

Nicole Gastonguay is a fiber artist living and working in New York City. To pay the bills and feed her tummy, she’s agraphic designer at a big publishing house. She also made this web site all by herself. So many hats for such a small person.

 

I hear she’s huge on flickr. And in Japan. Lots of people write and ask her for patterns. She doesn’t really have patterns. She makes things up as she goes along. She also thinks it’s neato that when she makes several of the same character, this lack of pattern having, makes every item turn out just a little bit different. She likes that. And so do you. She also thinks talking in the third person is hysterical.

The colorful and happy
