    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…

      Same as Frostys at Wendy’s. They’re not as thick as a Blizzard, but you don’t drink them. People would still ask for straws, though.

      I guess they’re free to suck till their brains fall out though

      Blended ice cream is a milkshake in the USA. I didn’t know it was weird until I ordered a milkshake in Australia.

      I would say a frosty is more of a milkshake than a blizzard and I would still argue with some one who says a frosty is a milkshake.

      It’s technically not “ice cream” either. Enough of the cream (and fat) is removed that it’s officially labelled “ice milk”, at least in my dairy-centric jurisdiction.
