No, they’re explaining it to primarily Americans, who typically don’t get a splash of cream in their coffee, so much as they get a splash of coffee in their milkshake.

since you’re going to pedant, pedant correctly. they don’t get coffee in their milkshake, they get espresso. when they get coffee, they get a splash of milk.

No, I am talking about Starbucks drinks, Frappucinos, which are basically milkshakes, that have vague hints of actual coffee in them, where the majority of the ‘coffee’ flavor somes from flavored syrups or chips or powders of some kind.
Those are far, far more commonly imbibed in the US, compared to the rest of the world, than the more traditional coffee with a splash of something, or a dirty ‘whatever’ via adding an espresso shot, a traditional latte, etc.
