The simile "as thick as" is often used to compare the density or concentration of two things, typically implying that one is very dense or heavy in relation to the other. For example, saying "as thick as pea soup" suggests a very thick and viscous consistency. This expression can be applied in various contexts, such as describing fog, crowds, or even a person's intellect. Overall, it vividly conveys the idea of substantial thickness or density.
When you see AS ___ AS ___, you are looking at A Simile - a comparison between two things. Someone is comparing the thickness of something (you didn't say what) to a blanket. It depends on what the other thing is, actually. Blankets can be thin or thick depending on which type they are. For example, if someone said "The fog is thick as a blanket," they probably mean it's a thick, heavy fog that covers everything up.
