God, we really are in a hipster neighborhood.

[W.T.Faulkner]

We decided to try a new ice cream place near our house last night.  I just wanted a chocolate milkshake, a seemingly ubiquitous, easy selection.  Right?  WRONG.

"Ummmmm....(intolerable vocal fry)...we don't offer chocolate. Here our our flavors."   She handed me a list that had PIZZA on it (pizza flavor is gross, btw), but no chocolate.

"What kind of milk do you want?  Do you want...um....almond, soy, or organic whole milk from our farm?"

"Whole milk.  Ok.  For two small milkshakes, that will be $12."

And to think we just got the house unpacked, and now we need to move.

Lol that's ice cream place needs to take itself a little less seriously.

[Deleted]

The only thing wrong with this is that there should NOT be milk in a milkshake.

[meganew]

Hahaha.

Aren't you in philly?

[RoxMonster]

LOL Yuck to pizza-flavored ice cream.

Your first problem was not going to Franklin Fountain.

(I don't actually know where you live, but I will drive my ass an hour out of my way to go there. Oh yes I will).

DM me the name of this place so I can avoid it.

Me too!

Actually, I want it so I can go. Sounds like amazing people watching. I'd wait all day just to see what the person looked like who ordered a pizza milkshake with soy milk.

Wtf are you talking about?

I posted too fast. A milkshake has milk NOT icecream. I meant to say there should not be ice cream in milkshake ( or pizza really cause YUCK)

[JLV]

Mmmm Franklin Fountain!!

I think I know what place you are talking about. It's very hipster there.

What?!  Milshake = milk + ice cream.

Or have I been living in some fantasy world for the last 32 years?

No that's a Frappe. 

[JLV]

Obviously a milkshake just occurs when you stir a glass of milk too fast!

@savestheday, please come back and explain what exactly is in your version of a milkshake. YOU'VE GOTTEN US ALL IN A TIZZY.

It's like shaken chocolate milk. It's cold and creamy but NO ICECREAM. 

A Frappe has ice cream. If you are in RI you can call that a Cabinet.

I just googled "milkshake without ice cream" and all the hits are "healthy" milkshake recipes. No thanks.

It's a NE thing. Like A " regular" coffee.

This is more absurd than the time I found out America doesn't have all the Crush pop flavours. GASP.

I am so terribly confused right now!

W.T.Faulkner for a delicious milkshake and equally as delicious burgers and fries you must go to Sketch Burger. It's as hipster as hipster can be but delicious.

Listen, I like you and you're not having the greatest of weeks, but enough with this special term bullshit.  ERRRBODY calls the concoction involving milk, ice cream, and a blending device a "milkshake."  You want to have some special regional term for that shit, fine.  But don't go about destroying the fabric of society and insisting that others adopt your insanity.

Yes we do- orange, grape and strawberry.


What is wrong with you people?

Strawberry? Do you mean the pink one? It's cream soda.

If it's some obscure thing that only applies to a particular area, you cannot make sweeping statements like "milkshakes are made without ice cream".
