Ha! Victory is mine!
Despite the horror stories I’ve heard about the demise of the Shamrock Shake of McDonald’s fame, I simply couldn’t believe it was true. Why, I had one only… has it really been two years?
I am in a self-imposed fast food exile, yet when I attempted my annual trip to the local gut-buster for the express purpose of scoring one of those minty treats I was bluntly informed that the only flavor available was chocolate-banana. WTF, it’s only a week until St. Patty’s Day, where could they be?. So the hunt began. This morning on the way to work, I stopped into another McD’s in the Pioneer Place food court only to be denied again. Uncle O’Grimacey would not be pleased. Luckily the third time was the charm. After work I decided to try my luck at the SW 6th location near Pioneer Square. Jackpot! It is official. THIS McDONALD’s HAS SHAMROCK SHAKES! Within minutes I was cruising downtown with 32 frosty ounces in my hand. Within a couple more minutes I had a horrible, gut-wrenching belly ache and realized once again why I don’t go to McDonald’s. Oh well, I’m sure I’ll forget by next March.
