McDonald's needs to take a page from the Backstreet Boys and quit playin' games with my heart. Now we all know that the infamous Shamrock Shake is a seasonal treat sold by McDonald's around St. Patrick's Day. Typically, a week after the event we know they're gone for good and stop looking for them. Now two weeks ago I was coming home from Easter dinner and spotted a foreign McDonald's with a sign in the grass stating they still had Shamrock Shakes. Since it was Easter, they were obviously closed and I couldn't inquire about any stray shakes. I put it to the back of my mind, thinking it must be a fluke. But in recent days I've passed McDonald's and sworn I still saw the minty green desserts sashaying on the board and began to wonder if the Shamrock Shake had jumped into the terroritory of being a Spring season treat.



I went to my local McDonald's today and what do I see, but the board still claiming they have Shamrocks Shakes, damn near a month after the fact! I timestamped the above picture so you can clearly see that I'm not making this shit up. I stick my head out the window and say to the intercom, "I'd like two medium Shamrock Shakes, please!" Only the bastards are OUT of Shamrock Shakes! OUT! They taunt me with promises of green shakes in 82º weather only to smash all my dreams to pieces. McDonald's #25261, you can officially eat a dick.

How does one recover from such a downer?



You go home and make blue raspberry Snoopy Sno-Cones. The trick is to use crushed ice from the freezer as it will drastically cut your work time and increase the Sno-Cone consuming time.
