Why are people here saying that “Blizzards” are “Milkshakes”?!
It’s breaking my brain.
Blizzards aren’t MILKSHAKES. They’re soft-serve icecream in a cup. ICE CREAM is not the same thing as a MILKSHAKE.
You don’t drink a blizzard. You eat it with a spoon. You don’t put two straws in and share it with your sweet-heart down at the old malt-shop. It’s not a drink!
Sorry. Don’t know why this discussion about Blizzard vs Milkshake has triggered me. It’s a new discovery about my personality that I’m not proud of…
Blended ice cream is a milkshake in the USA. I didn’t know it was weird until I ordered a milkshake in Australia.
A milkshake has milk in it too in the US, wher’ve you been gettin your milkshakes?
Might have some milk, but when I went overseas a milk shake was literally milk with crushed ice blended intop a drink.
No might about it, in the US, definitionally, a milkshake is ice cream blended with milk at minimum. It can optionally have mixins or syrups blended in as well, but if there’s no milk (or milk alternative)*, it ain’t a milkshake
So my usual Blizzard is a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup shake?
They don’t add milk or milk substitute to blizzards. Blizzards are not shakes.
