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?
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!"
