The habit of shaking a Polaroid comes from early 1950s "peel-apart" film. These early photos required a wet chemical coating applied after development, leaving them wet to the touch. Users shook the prints in the air to speed up the drying time.

Tell me you're a Zoomer without telling me you're a zoomer; "I'm pretty sure shaking Polaroid pictures became a practice due to a song by Outcast that came out over 50 years after the first Polaroid camera hit store shelves."

Never heard of that song in my life. But I was told by my grandpa to lightly flap it towards the sun because it helps make a static like look that makes pictures seem older than they were. It was a creative way to make aged photos during the time of no filters. I don't do it anymore but occasionally when my older sister takes a Polaroid photo of me I flap it towards the sun while talking to the sky like I'm talking to my grandpa. It was a fond memory of mine.

1951 (The Coater Era): Early black-and-white Polaroid film was prone to fading, so the company included a wet vial of liquid called "The Coater" in every roll. After pulling the picture out, customers had to manually brush this chemical over the print, which left it wet for 15 minutes. Shaking it helped dry the liquid faster.
