The Science of Sips
A milkshake is more than just milk and ice cream! When you blend these ingredients, you trap tiny air bubbles inside. This makes the milkshake light and frothy. The cold temperature numbs your taste buds a little, which can make the sweet flavors feel even more refreshing. Also, the fat in the ice cream helps carry the flavors, making each sip rich and delicious. It's a tasty mix of physics and chemistry!
Why do you think milkshakes are usually served cold, and what might happen if they get warm?

Size Science Lab
Read the size clue
Imagine a milkshake that stands 18.0 cm (180 mm) tall. That's about as tall as a new pencil or a small water bottle. Its width and depth are both 8.0 cm (80 mm). This means it's about as wide as a small apple or a standard juice box. So, a milkshake is tall and slender, not wide and round. It's designed to fit perfectly in your hand and be easily sipped through a straw.
Quick Check
How many millimeters tall is the milkshake?
Estimate
Hold your hand up. How tall do you think 18.0 cm is on your arm?
Is a milkshake wider or taller?
