...that it is Shamrock Shake season again. I reminded you last year, so I thought I would jog your memory again.
I will say that I am none too happy with this years offering. Just look what they have done! Whipped cream? A cherry!?! What is that shit? For someone who hates and fears change as much as I do this is unforgivable. We stood for it when they monkeyed around with the MrRib (you can read about that here), we stood for it when they took away Uncle O'Grimacey, but no more!
McDonald's, I will thank you to please put my Shamrock Shake back in a wax paper cup, lose the stupid dome top, and for God's sake, lose the whip cream and cherry. I don't like this "McCafe," la di da, fancy pantsy business, you don't see Starbucks trying to sell Filet-o-fishes, do you?
Now get off my lawn! (Shakes fist crankilly).
Do you think a shot of Bailey's would make the Shamrock Shake even better?
ReplyDeleteOh no! Last year we saw the first of these gussied up "shakes" appear at McDonald's around the country. But here in the Capital Region, the green monster came out of the shake machine as has since its inception.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this requires a tour of local shops to see if any of them are holding onto the traditional ways?
Oh, Mr. Dave. I love your crankiness.
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously. WTF, whipped cream?
