McD's Chocolate Shamrock shake

[JEDI]

Just in time for St Patty's Day (free with coupon, else Large $3.29)

top 1/2 is shamrock shake.
bottom 1/2 is chocolate.

I like the chocolate part more than the shamrock part.
in fact, the shamrock part kinda tastes disgusting.

Holding out for the Guinness Carolans shake.

1. You're right, it's only good as chocolate-shamrock. Shamrock solo is not good.

2. I was very upset because I went through the McDonalds drive-thru the other day and they refused to make me a chocolate-shamrock shake. "No sorry we don't have that". DUDE.

On a tangent, Oreos has a new one - Mint Oreos, thin-style. Kind of tastes like a cross between a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie & an Andes chocolate-mint candy. They are pretty dang good!

What the heck is a Shamrock shake, anyhow? Since actual shamrock has no culinary uses...

It's just a mint-flavored milkshake, dyed green for Saint Patrick's day. It's nothing special.

Buuuuuuut, when combined with a chocolate milkshake, it creates the mythical Chocolate Shamrock shake...a delightful blend of minty chocolate frozen goodness - a completely separate animal from just a plain Shamrock shake. It's important to note that what makes it good is mint - NOT peppermint. So the menthol levels are reduced from say a peppermint candy cane down to a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies level. Kind of like how mint & chip ice cream doesn't taste like a Junior Mint or a Peppermint Patty. Actually, green mint & chip ice cream is a good comparison...it's basically a milkshake version of that, but with more tasty chocolate in it to balance it out.

For a McDonald's milkshake, a chocolate-mint version is most excellent.

Nope, that was the Whopper with the black bun. Took 3 days to get that dye completely out of my system

Did you mix the shake tho? You gotta mix the shake. The mint on its own is teh yuck.
