So, if you get, say, a chocolate shake with whipped cream on top, do you mix the cream in with the shake before you suck it out the straw or do you wait till the last minute and suck out pure whipped cream?
I think about this a lot🙂

"According to the American Heritage College Dictionary, a milkshake is a “a beverage that is made of milk, ice cream, and often flavoring and is blended or whipped until foamy.” Unless you live in New England, where a milkshake would never include ice cream. Adding ice cream makes it a “frappe.” http://www.yankeemagazine.com/article/new-england-101/milk-shakes-frappes-cabinets#_

And at the risk of sounding boring, I never put whipped cream in a milkshake.

both of which have ice cream; simply a regional difference in words.
