Does the Shamrock Shake taste different?

Feb 9, 2012 4:17 AM

So, I finally got my hands on a Shamrock Shake today. Is it just me or does it taste a lot different than last year? Mine was more vanilla than minty, plus I was puzzled when the guy asked me if I wanted to add whip cream.

Several people agree that the flavor has indeed changed -

I think it has changed, too.

Yeah, I knew it tasted different last year, but it REALLY tasted weak today. I'm pretty disappointed. Might have to check out a bacon shake.

Mcdonalds shakes have all sucked for years. Chocolate so weak that it tastes like vanilla, too runny, weak shamrock shakes, etc.

Haven't had one yet this year. I was shocked last year when it came in a 'fancy' clear cup with whipped cream. But it was ok then...

Maybe your location's machine was off? They just use vanilla and the machine adds the flavored extract as it is poured...

Shamrock shakes are about the only thing I buy at McDonald's, and I've found that they vary greatly by location. The flavor/vanilla balance always seems to be different, some places add whipped cream and a cherry, etc.

If you don't like how one McDonald's makes it, you might want to try a different one.

Alright, I'm gonna try again tomorrow at a different McD's. Either that or a bacon shake at Jack in the Box.

@sunnyx0r: Good call. I tried the Shamrock Shake at a different McD's, and it was much better. It still seemed a bit thin on the mint, but a heckuva lot better than the previous one.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
