It's green, it's minty and it's BACK!
McDonald's seasonal mint-flavored Shamrock Shake officially returned to select menus nationwide. The shake was first launched in 1970 and has since built almost a "cult-like following."

You’re in the @McDonalds drive-thru with your friend Carl.
You say, “Ooo! I’m gonna get a Shamrock Shake, you want one too?!”
Carl says, “Nah, they’re gross.”
Carl is no longer your friend. Call us and we’ll remove Carl from your car.

You can tell me a McDonalds shamrock shake is a 1,000 calorie green chemical of sugar and actual garbage and I'm still gonna drink it

A press release describes the shake has a "creamy vanilla soft serve blended with Shamrock Shake syrup." The shake is then "topped with delicious whipped topping."
