It was only in New York, one of their biggest markets. So they dropped the shake because of lagging sales but everybody here who lives outside of New York saw them all the time. Me, Selkirk, etc.

Yes, it was only New York that DIDN'T carry the Shamrock Shake, while people all over the country, including some NYC suburbs were finding it. As a result, a NYC foodie and blogger started a blog dedicated to the seasonal treat and where to find it.

Everyone found it strange that when the Shamrock Shake came back it was limited and noticeably absent in NYC(five boroughs).

So they dropped the shake because of lagging sales but everybody here who lives outside of New York saw them all the time. Me, Selkirk, etc.

you are incorrect. It was the other way around, Fred G. The Shake made a comeback, it wasn't "dropped". Each year it expanded it's coverage, but oddly, for some reason NYC's five boroughs just wouldn't carry it.

Strange since NYC hosts a huge St. Patrick's Day parade, possibly the largest in the US.

The treatment of Shamrock Shake by McDonald's(a huge corporation under the magnifying glass of WOKEism) points to cancel culture and PC, racial scorecarding. It bothers you that it was identified. You want real Americans to live in ignorant bliss.

Thanks for attacking with misinformation.

the city is better served by "jungle juice."

shamrock shake reflects a little too much light.

No no, we checked at the time and it was lagging sales that caused McDonald’s not to carry them in the city. Lol @ “misinformation”

How can it be lagging sales when it wasn't on the menu to begin with?

Who came up with the "lagging sales" lie?

It was eventually added anyway.

actually like the mustard on the burgers, even though NY born and bred...

I remember the first time I had mustard on a McDonald's burger in Daytona Beach in the early 80's.

Over the years I guess McDonald's got mixed reactions as northerners began migrating to Florida. Last I checked they put both mustard and ketchup on their burgers.

Honestly it's not about flavor but the vinegar in either ketchup or mustard that makes digestion easier.

The mustard adds a little extra vinegar kick
I bet if they lowered the amount of sugar in the ketchup they could just use ketchup.
You’re on the money with vinegar aiding digestion of rich fatty foods. We always had oil and vinegar coleslaw when we had fatty stuff like bratwurst or pulled pork.

Yup. Humans may have combined foods for digestion and we didn't know it.

Another is sauerkraut. The natural bacteria helps metabolize meats. Some people just drink the juice for gut health.

Similar to kimchi. you’re right, people drink sauerkraut juice. It’s in the grocery store in the juice ghetto, along with prune juice and Clamato and stuff Lol
I eat sauerkraut often, partially for the health reasons. It’s a great probiotic

Try to get unpasteurized sauerkraut if you can.

For some reason I thought you lived in Farmingdale, right on the Nassau/Suffolk border.

Anyway, yes, NYC added Shamrock Shake after the rest of the country did. At one time there was a tv commerical for it.

I lost my taste for sauerkraut. I ate it years ago, but today don't really care for it anymore. I'll occasionally have it with Polish kielbasa, but that's about it

I don't know if prune juice is a "warrior's drink", but there must be some benefit to it. I clearly remember my father drinking prune juice every morning. He's now almost 90 years old, and in great health. I tried it once as a kid. Never. Again. 🤮🤮🤮

It’s a fairly easy homemade thing to make. When she was a kid my mom used to help make the sauerkraut which was just putting cabbage and water in a barrel and then put a cake of salt on top of it and let it sit.
