Alert: The Shamrock Shake has returned to McDonald's. I repeat, it's back! Since its creation in 1970, the Shamrock Shake has been one of McDonald's most beloved menu items. It's creamy, it's minty, and it's just an overall dream of a beverage made with vanilla soft serve, "Shamrock Shake" syrup, and whipped topping.
It's the same OG drink you're used to, but this year you'll be able to find one nearest you a heck of a lot easier. Download the "Shamrock Shake Finder app" to locate participating restaurant locations and use Shamrock Shake-themed stickers (emojis). If you have an iPhone X, take photos with an augmented reality experience (similar to Snapchat filters). And if all else fails, you can have UberEats deliver one right to ya.
You can get your Shamrock Shake starting today for a limited time, but beware, it might get a little crowded up in your local McD's. The chain also announced today that they'll be bringing back the Szechuan Sauce on Feb. 26—20 million cups of it, actually.
As far as the number of cups of sauce goes, I'm going to assume that's a higher number than last time. (Flashback to a couple months ago when they ran out of it and the people revolted.)
So pick up a Shamrock Shake today, and next Monday start your week off right next with the sauce.
