I am not remembering correctly. I need to do some research on fountain drinks. I did see a program about soda fountains where one of owners was lamenting that they couldn't make ______________ drink the way they used to because they couldn't serve raw eggs. They had come up with an alternative recipe, but they said it wasn't as good as the original...this is going to bug me until I think of it.

i always thought malts had egg in them.

Malts have... um, malt.

okay i have confirmed via google that some people put eggs into malt shakes. i knew i wasn't totally making it up.

Actually, Mrs. Hustler (that doesn't sound good at all) has it right. The midwest use of "pop" is ridiculous.

Never heard of that. When I make chocolate malt ice cream, I use eggs though.

Nope. it's kinda like a shake, but it includes some soda water, making it lighter and a little "fizzy."

Here's a link to the recipes for a bunch of old-fashioned fountain drinks.

I like shakes, too, but you sir... proceed directly to the nearest UDF. Buy a malt. Repeat until remedied.

But I only pass 100 UDFs on my 25-minute drive in... and I don't even go through Norwood! ;)

LOL - I was thinking when I wrote that, "There's probably one about a block from wherever you are right now."

Seriously, UDF makes a good malt.

Malts are for sock hops and servers on roller skates.

Malts...was curious as to the origins of making milkshakes with malt powder/malted milk, and as always wikipedia has the answer:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkshake

The use of malted milk powder in milkshakes was popularized in the USA by the Chicago drugstore chain Walgreens. Walgreens' employee Ivar "Pop" Coulson made a milkshake by adding two scoops of vanilla ice cream to the standard malted milk drink recipe (milk, chocolate syrup and malt powder).[10] This item, under the name "Horlick's Malted Milk," was featured by the Walgreen drugstore chain as part of a chocolate milk shake, which itself became known as a "malted" or "malt" and became one of the most popular soda-fountain drinks.[11]
