These shakes were so good! I too, remember the shaker cup. I'd grab one in the morning before I left for high school and call it breakfast. Yummo!!

Gorilla Milk was instant breakfast. Carnation Instant Breakfast is known as Carnation Breakfast Complete.

Not much after this came out, Pillsbury came out with Gorilla milk, which I thought was richer and creamier, and of course, Carnation still has its Instant Breakfast products.

I use to buy them at the A&P food store on Easton in Wellston,Mo. in the late sixties You could buy the box with a plastic shaker cup with a lid,includeing some envelopes,I don't remember how many.After you had the shaker then you could just buy the refills of ten envelopes in a box.The shakes were dark brown in color and the lids were tan in color.The shakers were thick plastic,so unless you handle them rough they would last a long time.I always bought the choclate favor ones.I really loved them.When you pour them into a glass they not only tasted like a milk shake,they also looked like one.I tell you,in all truthfulness,they were GREAT!!

Thanks for mentioning Thick 'n' Frosty. I've added it to the gallery, but had a really hard time locating a photo. I finally found a commercial for it on YouTube, and used a screen-shot from that.

Loved the chocolate flavor!! A few years later, Birds Eye came out with Thick n Frosty--frozen milkshake mix in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. They faded out in the seventies, if I remember right.
