Shamrock shakes make a return to Houston-area McDonaldโs restaurants in February
HOUSTON โ Shamrock Shake season is returning to McDonaldโs later this month. The shake, according to McDonaldโs, features a creamy vanilla soft serve ice cream with shamrock shake flavoring and mint-flavored whipped cream. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐hamrock Shake is back on 2.15 โ McDonald's (@McDonalds) February 2, 2021Also returning by popular demand is the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry, featuring the same flavoring as the shake, blended with Oreo cookie pieces in a McFlurry. McDonaldโs celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Shamrock Shake last year, which was invented in 1967 by Hal Rosen, an owner-operator of a Connecticut McDonaldโs location as a way to celebrate St. Patrickโs Day. It was sold regionally in the U.S. until 2012 when the shake began selling nationwide, according to the company.
Someone created a website that tracks broken ice cream machines at McDonaldโs, and itโs genius
But alas, while you may have gotten your Big Mac or McChicken, the ice cream machine is yet again broken, and your McFlurry dreams have been crushed. Not only are you upset, but so are the kids in the back seat who just wanted an ice cream cone. If only there was some way you could have known the ice cream machine was down, so you could have gone to a different McDonaldโs with a working machine. A version of this scenario inspired 24-year-old software engineer Rashiq Zahid to created McBroken, a new website that tracks whether the ice cream machine at every McDonaldโs is working or not. Only a true @McDonalds fan would go to these lengths to help customers get our delicious ice cream!
