What's the difference between a shake, a malt and a concrete?
Answers:
A shake is ice cream, and milk blended with fruit or ice cream toppings. A malt is the same as a shake but they add a little bit of malt powder to give it a different flavor. A concrete is like a Blizzard or Flurry -- soft serve ice cream mixed with candy/cookies/fruits/nuts. Concretes are at Culver's.

They have different viscosity and different tastes.
A shake is milk and ice cream mixed together. A malt is the same thing, only with malted milk in it. Concrete is a mixture of sand, gravel, cement, and water.
A malt has a specific flavour (like malted milk balls) a shake is more milk and fluid enough to suck up in a straw and a concrete is more solid, like a DQ blizzard (if you have a Dairy Queen anywhere near your place) when you get a concrete you have to eat it with a spoon . If you flip it upside down the mixture won't drop out. It is that solid.
A shake is milk, ice-cream and flavourings such as fruit syrup or chocolate sauce, a malt is a shake with malt added. Malt is malted barley (a process that turns starch into sugar), wheat flour, and whole milk, evaporated into a powder. Concrete if it is referenced to another type of ice-cream drink I've never heard of it. Maybe it is a milkshake with the consistency of concrete, otherwise known as triple thick.
A shake and a malt made from milk.So concrete is made of sand and mortar.
