Last year at this time, I had more than one person thinking
that I had lost my mind. As a big ice cream consumer, the days approaching St.
Patrick’s Day brought about special menu items at certain restaurants.
Recalling a certain menu item from my childhood, I talked my mate Laura into
going to McDonalds to get a shamrock shake. I was a bit worried when I didn’t
see any marketing post in the window. I asked the lady behind the register and
she looked at me like I was from another planet. We tried another McDonalds
with the same result.
At this point Laura was beginning to think that I made the
whole thing up. To ease the heartache, we headed to Chick-fil-a and got a
shake. While there, I did a little online research and discovered a website
dedicated to the Shamrock Shake. People would post all of the places they could
find them across the country. None were found in the state of Tennessee.
Learning from last year’s experience, I did my research
first. The McDonalds in North Carolina did not fail me! Finally I had my shake
and a small piece of redemption. It all tasted just as wonderful as I imagined
it would.
