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
The definition has changed throughout the years, hopefully we can all at least agree on that. Some early "shakes" had no milk whatsoever! I didn't know this either, but apparently the US has no legal definition of what constitutes a milkshake, leaving it up to the individual states to decide.
I also found this little snippet particularly interesting for this conversation:
This is why you end up with Blizzards and Frosties apparently!

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.
Depends on the state, apparently. There's no codified federal definition for what constitutes a "milkshake". As opposed to something like ice cream which is very much codified at a federal level.
I posted a link further down, but apparently national chains do this is to avoid dealing with state regulations. "Its not a milkshake, its a Blizzard!"
