This is the time of year that McDonald’s has their Shamrock Shakes. I like them, and usually I crave them, but this year has been different. I haven’t really wanted one.
A couple weeks ago I had one small shamrock shake. That was enough to last me for another year, I think.
*shrug*.
They just don’t hold the same magic that they used to.
Part of this is probably because the prices keep going up (a large one was around $3.25 the last time I checked. Yikes!)
Then there’s the realization that I can get the same frozen minty creamy taste ANY time of year just by buying some chocolate chip mint ice cream. I think I like that better anyway, plus it’s a better value, and it’s more accessible. For example, if I’m craving some in the middle of the night in July, I can go to any grocery store that’s open 24 hours!
Sorry, McDonald’s.
The spell has been broken.

I love mint chocolate chip ice cream. I have never liked Shamrock shakes, though.

If we were lucky, we’d find one on St. Patrick’s day. I’m not into mint chocolate chip. I want just the mint. No chocolate chips!
Posted 03 Mar 2008 at 2:16 pm ¶Shelli: Really? Is it because of the texture, or the lack of chocolate, or what?
Linda: You might as well go have a couple of them, to make up for the fact that I’m not having any.
Deb: I want some chocolate chip mint ice cream! What was your spam word?
ComedyPlus: I changed my AS words last night, just so you could have something new. Sometimes you tell me what word you got, and I was hoping you’d tell me today too, but alas….
Corina: Really? You don’t like chocolate??

I was thinking it sounded really good till I read Mo’s comment.

Marilyn: Me too!
Travis: Aww, man, that sounds good too…
