Georgia’s Best Milkshake Revealed

Georgia has plenty of spots to get your milkshake on, and unlike in other areas of the country, it's always milkshake season here. One publication set out on the delicious journey to find the best one in the state. I mean, who doesn't love a good Georgia milkshake?

LoveFood.com recently put together a study to determine the best place to get a milkshake in each state. "Milkshakes are about as American as apple pie, and every state has their own mouth-watering options," they state in the article. I couldn't agree more. "Read on for our pick of the best of them, from towering freak shakes heavy with toppings to deliciously understated chocolate and vanilla options." What's extra cool is that they also suggest what kind of milkshake to try at each of these establishments. I think mint is my favorite flavor for a milkshake, but chocolate-chip is a close second.

So, which ice cream shop in Georgia has the best milkshakes in the entire state? According to the study, it's the flavor "Savannah Dan-style Chocolate Milkshake" at Leopold's Ice Cream in Savannah. "You'll have to go off-menu to get the best milkshake in the Hostess City of the South," LoveFood.com states in the article. "Leopold's Ice Cream is a Savannah institution, known for its smartly-uniformed waitstaff and its inviting neon sign, and no shake on the menu will disappoint. However, die-hard chocolate-lovers should ask for theirs Savannah Dan-style. It's a sweet explosion made with chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup." If you know of someone who loves local milkshakes, this seems like the perfect spot. I would probably try the suggested "Savannah Dan-style Chocolate Milkshake" flavor, although all of their flavors looks unique. Find the full list of the best milkshakes in every state here.

Have you ever tried a fragrance and thought to yourself, "Wow, this smells awful?" Then you wonder why and how anyone would ever enjoy that smell. Just like our sense of taste, smells are based on preference. For example, your friend may like the smell of corpse flowers (the worst-smelling flower in the world) and burnt hair while you like the smell of roses and bonfires. 

"Most people assume we all like the smell of roses and hate the smell of skunk... with the exception of irritating odors, smell is something we come to know from personal and cultural experiences." noted lead researcher Rachel Herz, PhD, in a 2005 Brown University study.

Alan R Hirsch, the founder and neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment & Research Foundation, explained to NPR that “the factors that influence our sense of smell are actually a combination of cultural, genetic, and environmental factors.”

There are certain smells that almost everyone loves. From the new car smell (which may not be good for you) and freshly baked bread to Sharpies and gasoline. People enjoy a variety of aromas and find some more pleasant than others. The scents we smell can change our moods and emotions. Sometimes, it can even bring us back to long-forgotten events and memories.

Here are 10 unusual smells most people enjoy.

It could be due to its association with nail salons. It's where many people find a moment of relaxation.

Some people enjoy the smell of recycled rubber, glue, and a slight hint of petroleum.

It's probably not because it can make you high. It may have more to do with nostalgia. Sharpies and markers tend to smell like childhood to some people.

It makes sense that some people like the smell of chlorine. Most people are reminded of memories by the pool. Or maybe an abundance of laundry.

It may be something with the smell combination of fresh paper and book adhesive, mixed with the excitement of getting a new book.

Do you ever catch a whiff of yourself and actually don't mind it? Maybe, it's because it's your own scent. Some studies show that we've adapted to like our own odors, to help us maintain proper hygiene.

It has that "cold" smell that’s similar to when the AC blows in the car.

Some people like it because it "smells like the country.” The smell is supposedly associated with fresh air and fields of farmland.
