McDonalds customers craving the fast food giants famous Shamrock Shake struck gold this week. The popular minty green milkshake made from McDonalds vanilla soft serve blended with Shamrock Shake syrup and topped with whipped topping is officially back on the menu, the company announced on Twitter, Thursday. Shamrock Shakes have have earned an impressive cult following over the years since McDonalds first debuted the beverage in 1970. Like the McRib, Shamrock Shakes only come to the Golden Arches for a limited time.

That stuff looks expensive. I want cheap food that tastes good, and is bad for me. :-p
Usually during the summer months.

Oh, man, I haven’t thought about McDonald’s Steak Sandwich since about 1980. That was a pretty good product, basically a long hamburger on a sort of french roll with onions and A1-esque steak sauce. Interesting idea and pretty darned tasty, as I remember. IIRC, it was more expensive than the Big Mac and Quarterpounder, so maybe it didn’t sell well.
Why not just go to Arby’s for a real sandwich! The swirled pump/rye on a ruben is awesome. They have the grilled steak and onions/mushrooms all the time too. Plus its the only place other than asians that have horseradish available.
“Why not just go to Arbys for a real sandwich!”
Did they start using real meat?
Must disagree on with you on the fries. McD’s fries are the only thing they have worth eating. Still the only fries I know of you can and should eat without ketchup!
Why not Arbys? because there is a Schlotzsky’s nearby!
I miss the good tenderloin sandwiches. The ones that were thin and made of real pork tenderloin. Now only a few places I know have them on the menu and they’re more like a pork fritter or a disc of compressed mystery meat.
If only I could find an Arby”s. They’ve closed all the nearby ones here.
Funny.
Wonder why they don’t do a black shake around MLK day.
Mikey Dumpling is a kick! Also look up Weins on youtube....... https://www.youtube.com/user/migrationology
I’m tired of these sham-rocks. Give me a real one, or I’m leaving!
There's a time and a place for a real sandwich, but the McDonald's steak sandwich was a unique thing, not so much a steak sandwich as a super hamburger.
Would it be cultural appropriation if a non-Irish person bought one and drank it? (/sarc)
I have been able to find good ones in the midwest, usually in mom and pop places. If you are ever in Hannibal, MO, check out the Mark Twain Restaurant.

Just like the rest of us. :)
Seriously though, look at the explosion of popularity of “gourmet” burgers. The American public is tired of the same old thing and is willing to pay for a better burger.
Even when McDonald’s copied the Hardees Thickburger it was a disaster, dry, salty and overall bleh.
