SAN ANTONIO, TX, September 09, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- After celebrating its 60th birthday in August, Whataburger pays tribute to its founder, Harmon Dobson, by offering free four-ounce samplings of its famous shakes on Sunday, September 19 from 12-4 p.m. for dine-in customers.

Dobson opened his first Whataburger in 1950, a small burger stand located at 2609 Ayers Street in Corpus Christi, offering chocolate shakes for 15 cents to accompany the 25 cent burgers. Today, Whataburger offers thick, delicious shakes at 700+ locations in 10 states.

"Harmon Dobson opened his first Whataburger in 1950 and creamy, cold shakes on the original menu offered his customers a way to beat the Texas heat," said Rich Scheffler, Whataburger Restaurants, LP Group Director of Marketing. "Sixty years later, customers still order our shakes to accompany their custom, 5-inch Whataburger, just as Harmon intended in 1950."

Available in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, Whataburger's shakes are offered in three sizes - 16 ounce, 20 ounce and 32 ounce - and are available 24 hours a day, 364 days a year.
