Well, I haven't read pages 3-7, but I'm assuming this is just a massive thread about the regional terms of milkshakes. Thanks to @savestheday. People get up in arms about regional language.
eta: I could totally be talking out my ass here. But I at least understand why the first couple of pages started up.
I think have my contact lenses in the wrong eyes. I though cville said her couch was a farting couch and now I.thought you wrote "people are getting up in anus..."
Well Savestheday just gave me one big reason never to go to NE. I'll stay here in PA where our milkshakes have ice cream and milk and our chocolate milk is literally chocolate + milk, and a frappe has coffee. You know, where the whole world makes sense, I'll stay.

LOL
Just when you thought this thread couldn't get more confusing!
<Wiggum> Do they have Krusty-Partially-Gelatinated-Non-Dairy-Gum-Based-Beverages? <Lou> Mm-hm. And they call 'em "Shakes" <Eddie> Heh. "Shakes". You don't know what you're gettin'. <Wiggum> Well I know what I'm gettin'. Some donuts.
It's a frappe in southern New Hampshire too. I'm team @savestheday on this one.
Frig guys, this reminds me of the lectures some of my British English-speaking coworkers give me about how my American English is inferior.
A frappe is a frappe if you're in a certain region. punto. pelota.
But she's saying everyone else is wrong. lol. There are what, 2 or 3 of you that call it a frappe?
Ok, I'm not going to tell any of you that you're wrong if what we call a frappe is called a milkshake in your region. That would be like my coworkers insisting a truck/18-wheeler is called a lorry and that what I'm teaching my students is wrong. That's just bullshit and it pisses me off.
HOWEVER, in many parts of New England a thick milkshake is called a frappe. I'm from southern New Hampshire and that's what we call it. Sure, two or three of us here might call it a frappe but - we need more central/northern New Englanders in here!
Oh, anyone from RI? Isn't it called a cabinet there?
Some of the groceries have added small restaurants with beer areas to you can buy your two six packs. There was even something about certain Sheetz maybe getting approval for similar options.
Sheetz but not Wawa? Sheetz doesn't exist in my area of PA (or at least I don't care to find it). If I can buy beer at Wawa instead of having to stop at Wegman's my life will be complete.
The article I saw was specifically the Sheetz in Shippensburg getting the green light but they are pushing for all of the stores to sell beer.
I don't think at this point that it is all convenience stores but if they get it I'm sure that will follow. ((I hope? Lol))

Yes, we call milkshakes (made with ice cream) cabinets here in RI, but not exclusively. It's not like we're confused when someone says milkshake. It's generally understood to be the thing that everyone else thinks it is, lol. And like I said way earlier in the thread, it's not like anyone here is scandalized by putting ice cream in a milkshake. It's not nearly the big pretentious deal that std made it out to be, at least not where I grew up.
I'm fairly sure that milkshake and frappe are interchangeable in NH. We just say frappe more. In fact, I always thought a frappe was just thicker than a milkshake.

Maine Milkshake= milk+ice cream Thick Milkshake= milk=more ice cream
Frappe - never ordered it, assume it's blended ice and flavoring (often coffee)
Awful-Awful - (in the article Saves posted, but not the same definition as in her article) = milkshake with ice cream on top (soft serve) which leads to the delightfully sexual Awful-Awful Hard On Top (hard serve ice cream on top)
and another favorite, if the Awful-Awful doesn't have enough calories
Shake-a-Sundae = Milkshake with a Sundae on top
And all the Booze, Beer, and Wine you need is on every corner. Gas station, grocery store, discount beverage store, redemption center...
Maine, the way life should be where life make sense again after you get past MA/RI/NH
I love living in London where you can go to the grocers and pick up anything you want. And I go to the local Gelateria as we don't have an ice cream shop nearby. Mmmm...Italiano.
This is true in my state too. There are 3 aisles of liquor, wine, and beer next to the bakery at my grocery store.
You do have to go to a seperate store to buy pot though.
