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

Might have some milk, but when I went overseas a milk shake was literally milk with crushed ice blended intop a drink.

No might about it, in the US, definitionally, a milkshake is ice cream blended with milk at minimum. It can optionally have mixins or syrups blended in as well, but if there's no milk (or milk alternative)*, it ain't a milkshake

So my usual Blizzard is a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup shake?

They don't add milk or milk substitute to blizzards. Blizzards are not shakes.
