This is incredibly obvious to me as a user experience designer as part of the schooling for this job is to find this stuff out & make proper use of it. That there's already a profession that knows how to do this however is completely unknown it seems. It's mind blowing to me to find out this is some new thing somebody's getting paid to write about. As a designer I would say immediately jumping to the conclusion that milkshakes should be thicker just because people are saying they appreciate the thickness is equally stupid. All they did was find out that the milkshake machine needs to be operational in time for the morning shift. But I bet they didn't even think that through.

Is this Starbucks' secret to national domination? Socially acceptable breakfast milkshakes with stimulants?

Neighbor had a fun "blender on a bike" rig for outdoor party margaritas, fun and didn't have a back wheel, but rigging one for a morning fresh milkshake commute seems like just a brilliant idea.

This probably also explains Jamba Juice and smoothies.

How many American breakfast foods are just desserts we use to reward ourselves for getting up early and doing shit we don't want to do? Milkshakes fit in fine.
