IcerocketTwo words: Shamrock Shake...
THE SHAMROCK SHAKE
Submitted by MightyVin on Mon, 03/17/2008 - 11:10pm.
Every year, McDonalds breaks out one of the few food stuffs that are left in today's world that can only be described as the feeling of pure, unbridled joy: the Shamrock Shake.
It's design is simple: take a regular vanilla shake, add a hint of mint, some green food dye, and get ready to experience the taste of heaven in your mouth(or the equivalent of 3.5 juice boxes of Ecto-Cooler).
But the legecy of the Shamrock Shake wasn't all rainbows and sunshine. There was once a dark point for this most dreamy of deserts. That came in the form of Uncle O'Grimacey; Grimace's Irish uncle who was used by McDonalds to whore out the Shamrock Shake in the early 1980s.
So Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone. Enjoy your green drinks, food, and other assorted Irish customs made up for profit by American businessmen.

They might still have some left tomorrow morning, but alas, it might be too late. But, I do know for a fact that all McDonalds in Ireland carry them year-round, along with McDonalds that are located in very Irish-populated areas of the U.S. For more info, go to wikipedia and type in: Shamrock Shake.
