Shamrock Shakes, anyone?

I woke up craving the jolly green goodness that can only come from a place known for clogged arteries.

The Shamrock Shake.

It's that time again, friends.

March's seasonal references to all things green make me immediately think about the Shamrock Shake from McDonald's. So minty, so green, so perfect.

Adding to the Shamrock Shake's appeal: Its elusive nature.

See, you can't find the Shamrock Shake just anywhere. Getting one usually requires an extended search process that's usually confined to White Castle.

I recently stumbled upon ShamrockShake.com, an online community where people share Shamrock Shake availability at McDonald's locations across the nation.

The bad news: Columbus locations don't look too promising. Neither do Phenix City locations.

Fortunately, earlier this week I befriended yourmcdonalds GA/AL on Twitter. Who says things don't happen for a reason?

I sent this direct message a few minutes ago: "Hey guys! Are you offering Shamrock Shakes this season? Please say yes!"

Investigative reporting at its best. Stay tuned.
