A Shamrock Shake, which comes with whipped cream topping and a cherry, is probably not a great choice for a nutritious diet, and if anyone thinks it is, they have bigger problems than not being able to accurately compare the calorie counts between two arbitrarily-chosen sandwiches and a milkshake.
Oh, you are so naive. That red hair? Hooker blood.
I heard the special ingredient is leprechaun puke.
Pure…EEeeeeEEEvil!
OOoh! Can you ask about peach shakes? I had one once and loved it, but I’ve never come across them again. 
That’s not puke.
I will! 
God bless you always!!!

Yeah the Shamrock Shake is just a vanilla shake with dyed fake mint flavor, but there’s something about that flavoring. Unfortunantely, the mix machines at McDonald’s can really affect the taste. Bad places leave the flavoring at the bottom and it’s near undrinkable. Most places mix it better, with the best tasting ones leaving a vanilla layer at the bottom.
Please. They were courtesans.
Eh.
I’m in the middle of reading Modernist Cuisine, and there is a lot of information about why one would specifically use a lot of these scary sounding ingredients. It has recipes that include both black truffles and carrageenan.
There’s a custard shop in Milwaukee that I go to on a pretty regular basis but it’s about 10-15 minutes each way. During March and at least one other month “Mint Shake” is the shake of the month. It’s the only time I get something other the a chocolate shake (with chocolate custard) and I’ll go like 6 times in the month just to get them.
Anyways, a few years ago, not wanting to drive all the way out there I decided to try a shamrock shake. I still remember taking a sip and thinking “Bah, what’d they make this with, toothpaste?”
I’m sure it was just the flavor of mint they use. The custard place I go to switched their mint flavoring once it they tasted off for a while as well (they got better).
McDonalds publishes all of their ingredients. pdf.
She was a Chechnyan prostitute, and you shall address her as such.
I come equipped with a straw and a lot less calories.
An Irish friend insists that unless the shake contains leprechaun jism, it’s full 'o blarney.
Hmm. Let’s see your content label.
I’ve gotta try one. Which shop has them? Kopps, Gilles, Leons, Oscars?
Yeah, give! I’m going near Kopp’s later this week.
I used to live near Gilles and work near Leon’s.
Been to Oscar’s but it was never real convenient to get there.
