Smashburger turns happy hour into shake hour exclusively on Fridays

As the summer heat continues to swelter across the US, hydration is paramount. But sometimes, having the same routine of drinking water can get tiring, which is why Smashburger has a new promotion involving their tasty shakes.

Beginning today and continuing every Friday until August 30, the company will offer milkshakes for $3 from 2-5 pm -- an opportunity for anyone who wants to save money while indulging in the dairy goodness of a shake.

Now, if you prefer dairy-free, Smashburger also offers that in addition to the regular ones. As for a refresher on the current flavors, they have Strawberry, Vanilla, Oreo Cookies n' Creme, Chocolate, and Reese's Peanut Butter. On the other days when the promo is not in effect, you can continue the savings with the $1.99 16oz Sonic Shake, which recently appeared on their value menu.

Ultimately, instead of making your trip to the nearest bar after your commute home from a long day of work or wherever a hot summer day takes you, it might be a good choice to stop by Smashburger for the shake and maybe even a burger and fries. And hey, even with all three items, it will still cost you less than Five Guys. Sorry, Five Guys.

If you want to partake in this deal, you have two ways to take advantage. You can order online and use the promo code SHAKES24 or let the cashier know at your local location. Both ways will allow you to add some sweetness to your taste buds.

Will you be making a visit to Smasburger for this promotion? Is this going to be your new happy hour spot on Fridays?

With the summer rapidly concluding, it might be time to appreciate the warm weather in the best way possible. A delicious creamy milkshake topped with whipped cream, providing the thirst quench needed to survive another heat-filled day.
