38. Brittany Stark — Inventor of the original Freakshake

Freakshakes may be a regular find on restaurant menus around the world now, but the extravagant milkshakes were first created by one young woman in New York in 2015, and that woman was Brittany Stark. Working as the social media manager for Black Tap Burger at the time, Stark was originally wiped from history after restaurant owner Joe Isidori took credit for the creation.

However, it's since been revealed that Stark was the true inventor of the freakshake. "What was meant to be an Instagram stunt turned into a food phenomenon and it brings me joy that these desserts brought people from all around the world together," Stark told Business Insider.
