McDonald's Shamrock Shake

     Unlike Pi Day I actually care about St. Patrick's Day.  Little known fact, the Hebrew Hammer is Irish.  I'm an Irish Jew.  Shocking, I know.
     I'm not really sure why it's mint flavored.  I don't associate mint with anything Irish.  I guess because mint is usually green, and the only other popular green flavor is apple?  Unless they want to make a soda bread flavored shake they probably don't have many other options.

     This thing is minty.  Like, really minty.  Normally I'm a fan of mint but this was borderline overpowering.  It didn't have the same consistency as a regular McDonald's shake.  That's not necessarily a bad thing, but still something you the people should know.  It's pretty good.  I wouldn't be upset if I forgot to pick up for the limited time it's available, but if I went to McDonald's during that time I'd go for it.
     Also, McDonald's shakes always finish way quicker than they should.  Every other brand seems to last as least twice as long.  I'm drinking my shake and all of sudden it's gone.  Is that what my prom date had to deal with?  Because now I understand the complaint.  5/10.  (The shake I mean)
