Today's Question:

UChicago Trivia: Where and when can you get a milkshake for just a dollar every week on UChicago's Hyde Park campus?

a) Café Logan, Monday - Friday
b) Hutchinson Commons on Wednesdays
c) Pret A Manger on the first Friday of every month
d) Peach's at Crerar every day during the summer

Answer:

b) Hutchinson Commons on Wednesdays

Looking for a midweek treat? Swing by Hutchinson Commons for Dollar Shake Day, held every Wednesday during regular food court hours (be sure to check UChicago Dining’s website for current operating times). Whether you’re a student, faculty member, staff, or visitor, everyone is welcome—no dining plan required, and credit cards are accepted.

Enjoy a classic chocolate or vanilla milkshake, each just $1. Customize your shake with complimentary toppings like whipped cream, chocolate or rainbow sprinkles, Oreo crumbles, M&Ms, and vanilla wafer pieces. Just follow the “Shake Day!” signs outside the Reynolds Club—you can't miss it!
