No shamrock shakes at UK McD's?

  Anyone else saddened by this?

Goodness, I haven't been inside a McDonalds in 20 years!  I did love the Shamrock Shakes though, but they were my downfall.  I was such a good kid in high school--never cut class, never got into trouble.  However, one year a friend of mine and I decided to leave school grounds on lunch break (forbidden!) to get a Shamrock Shake and on the way back to the school we got stopped and reprimanded by a police officer--I was so scared it would end up on my "permanent record"!   It didn't though, of course![smiley=clover2.gif]

I only enter a McDonald's if I am desperate for a pee - and even then I might hold it! 

I did have to eat a salad there once in the last 5 years out of desperation, but it made me ill - it had sugar! 

I'm not too sure I could cope with a Shamrock Shake, TBH! 

Good luck in yuour hunt, though! Maybe you need to go to Ireland???

No, because we get Creme Egg McFlurries where the US doesn't. Fair trade!

I'm not big on McD's but I do like shamrock shakes. They are like a mint cookies and cream milkshake..yum!

I forgot about Shamrock Shakes!  I don't think I've had one since I was about 12, but they were good!  Now I really want one.  Might have to investigate making a mint flavoured shake at home.

I havent seen them yet in McD's in the US either. I was just in getting a soda earlier.

I've grown to be fully addicted to these shamrock shakes - had my first 1 last wk - JennM - where in the states are u? I'm on the east coast and its been on every McDonalds menu i believe since the last 2 wks? If you'd like i'll ship you one

and mmmmm def will have to try and english mcflurry next time im over here!!!

Im in Denver. Maybe it was just the one I went in. I dont frequent McD's very much.

I'm a mint-aholic, but I've not had one since before I moved over here, so can't say that I miss them too too much.  I really miss and enjoyed how they'd change the flavour each month in the states.  Cherry shakes were fantastic, especially with a cherry pie.   

However, it's nice having the different McFlurries. 

JennM Denver isnt too far - i'll def fedex you one

I try my best to stay away from fast food as well - but in my mind the shamrock shakes dont fall into that category haha

If it makes you feel better, I've heard through the grapevine that the [USA] Shamrock shakes this year aren't as good as the ones from yesteryear.

I've heard they are too much vanilla and not enough mint.

Too bad Im heading to London tomorrow or I would take you up on that I may have to drive around tonight and try to find one.
