View Full Version : Anybody old enough to remember Shamrock Shakes from McDonald's?
Brian Damage 03-17-2006, 08:35 PM McDonald's use to sell these green mint flavored shakes called Shamrock shakes around St. Patty's Day. They always did it in the 70's and early 80's, then they disappeared from the planet. They were deeeelicious! :drool:

I think only a few select places make them. They don't sell them here in NY.
Cashodeen 03-17-2006, 08:46 PM LOL! That website is pretty funny. Yes I remember these, and no I have never had them. I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.
moeee 03-17-2006, 08:47 PM I remember those Shamrock Shakes, and yes, i did have one. I thought it was pretty good.
It had a pepperminty flavor to them.
The last time i remember seeing them was back in 1994 or 95 i believe.

Yea they had them here a few years back ( I believe in the late 90's) but it was only for a few weeks. They are great. :D
Number 9 Dream 03-17-2006, 08:53 PM McDonalds around here still makes them around St Patty's Day...they're good.
Brian Damage 03-17-2006, 08:58 PM I must have one! :lol:

Cashodeen 03-17-2006, 09:08 PM mmmm, you don't know what yer missing. LOL Aw, I'll just have to live with it I guess. I got St. Patrick's Day cupcakes that are way better!

BlueMolly2006 03-17-2006, 09:19 PM I remember them and I remember getting sick on it. The taste wasn't something my stomach could take I guess. :)
Brian Damage 03-17-2006, 09:23 PM It's a name brand.. I guess you haven't heard of it.
Cashodeen 03-17-2006, 09:26 PM It's a name brand.. I guess you haven't heard of it.
Okay, I checked out their website. It looks vaguely familiar. But no, me cupcakes are from a local bakery.
Mr. Television 03-17-2006, 09:26 PM I must have one! :lol:

Brian Damage 03-17-2006, 09:36 PM That looks so good. :lol:

LOL, oh my word. I never thought I'd hear someone say they would go out of their way to get to a McDonalds. Let us know how it goes.

:lol: I'll have to check my McDonald's tomorrow and see if they have it. I haven't been there in awhile so I don't know.
swedeace 03-17-2006, 10:03 PM Funny you mentioned about these shakes because today after lunch, I was considering going over to McDonald's to ask if they had those shakes.
It wasn't too long ago these were available. I remember telling myself I would get one in 1998, but eight years have gone by and STILL haven't gotten one. Wow.... :lol:
BTW, what flavor were those green Shamrock shakes? Or was it just vanilla with food coloring on them?
Janice 03-17-2006, 10:25 PM I remember them. I love McDonald's shakes.

I bought a large and found it to be waaaaay too much. It is mint flavored. It was as good as I remember it to be, but too much shake for me. LOL

Shamrock shakes were so good. I used to work at Mcdonalds, and alot of customers would order chocolate and shamrock mixed.
