shamrock shakes

[joycem10]

anyone know when McDonalds will begin selling my favorite shake this year? they usually come out a little before ST Pats', March 17. Thats only abourt 3 weeks away so Im starting to get antsy. Id really appreciate it if someone could let me know when they are in stores. i cant wait to start sucking back my green diary based shake food product.

is anyone here old enough to remember grimace's uncle who was in the old McDs commercials? He was dressed up like a leprachaun and was named O'Grimace or something like that... good stuff man.

Wasn't it just Grimace in Irish gear?

Shamrock shakes are delicious.

I hate the new Hamburglar and the new Grimace, I miss the fry guys and trivia fact: Willard Scott invented the character of Ronald McDonald and was supposed to play him in commercials but (jury please note) the Kroc thought a "fat" clown would send the wrong message.

I guess we just dont get the down south. Do any of you remember the eggnog shakes at Dairy Queen?

Edit: Changed snakes to shakes.

They used to have them in our area years ago, but I'm not sure if they still do.

We get the shakes here around St. Patrick's Day. I love those things, but I don't like McDonalds in general. I don't know the exact date for the shakes.

What exactly is a "Shamerock Shake"

s shamrock shake is a mint flavored green colored milk shake which SOME McDonalds sell in the weeks immediatly prior to St. Patricks Day. They are just great.

Try mixing in a little vodka.

Sultan: the old commercials for St. Pats that Im referring to had Grimace and his uncle/cousin/whatever O'Grimace who was dressed up in green and spoke with a bad irish accent. these commercials are like late 70s-early 80s. when i was a kid I ate that crap up. both literall and figuratively.

what did happen to the fry guys, and mayor mccheese?

Y'know I just DONT understand why the French could have such contempt for American cuisine?

rodgers, shamrock shakes go great with blood pie.

i cant be too disgusted - my usual friday night "meal" would put most American's into a dead faint but green drinks just dont seem right to me. Except creme de menthe with vodka and soda - nice!
