Plot

SpongeBob makes a milkshake for a customer, but the milkshake is much too thick to drink. It is revealed that SpongeBob's license to milkshake expired seven years ago. The customer is dissatisfied, so Mr. Krabs takes SpongeBob to The Milkshake Academy. The instructor gives SpongeBob an ice cream scooper to see what he can make. SpongeBob presses the wrong button on the milkshake machine, and he finally presses the right button. The milkshake is once again solid and too thick to drink. SpongeBob is put in a large milkshaker, and the instructor sets it to obliterate, though it has no effect. A montage of SpongeBob's failures is then shown. Everybody earns their milkshake operating licenses except for SpongeBob.

SpongeBob tries to prove he can make a milkshake, but the instructor demonstrates the proper technique. However, he has a flash back of a milkshake accident he had caused twenty years ago. After the flash back, he is sucked into the blender and SpongeBob pulls him out. The instructor tells SpongeBob that he has been able to make milkshakes because making milkshakes comes from within. Back at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob earns his milkshake operating license by mixing the contents of the milkshake through the pores on his body.
