Just searched it up, seems like it. We call those milkshakes.

I’ve never heard anyone under the age of 80 use that term. If you ask the average rhode islander for a cabinet they will probably look at you weird and point to a furniture store.

Sad as fuck. Last time i was at the creamery i odered one, and they did bring a frappe which was fine, but they also used to bring over the big silver blender thing which they didnt.

We always thought the culprit was the ice cream -

that was kept in the freezer cabinet-

My grandfather said a cabinet has ice cream in it, a milkshake is just milk and syrup. He said a lot of things though

People in MA say this too but replace “cabinet” with “frappe.” Me, from NY, always ordered a milkshake in MA and still got what they call a frappe so 🤷🏼
