McDonald's Shamrock Shakes (1970)

aye lads and lasses, that makes me feel like dancin' a wee bit o' the ol' Irish jig

I tried a Shamrock Shake back in the '70s--disgusting. I seem to remember when they had a banana shake for a limited time that was good. And the Arctic Orange shake was pretty good, as I recall.

There was a joke about this in an issue of the Onion, in an article about the "Not So Perfect McDonalds"...

They mentioned the shamrock shakes and how they were serving them, and the people were having to get used to the flavor...

Now I get the joke, after seeing this ad, I wouldn't want to eat at such a joint...

EWWWWW!!!!! XP

Hey, it's the Irish Spring dude!!! Or, the Lucky Charms voice-over-guy... Why was our country so pre-occupied with Irish themes, back then, anyway???

Oh my, I remember this one. For a few short years i was mad about those damn shakes. I dunno why. They werent minty or anything. Just green. I DONE BEEN DUPED MAN! My childhood memories will never be the same (when it comes to the shamrock Shake at least).

They do have these shakes in Dublin though - nice fake Irish accent on the wanna-be leprechaun man there !

they not around here anymore..

they are still around and damn are they good... I'll drink any kind of slime as long as it tastes good while slurping it down with a smile.

I think these made a comeback around 2003...a friend of mine had one, it looked like he was having a medium-sized cup of Nickelodeon slime.

So, there's a little Irish in me, too?

Makes me proud to be Irish
