Asking a Illionian when St. Patrick's Day is, is like asking a Texan when Cinco De Mayo is.

Shake Me Up
Last year about this time I stopped at McDonald's and asked for a Shamrock Shake, the voice on the other end of the speaker said "You want a what?" I said "A Shamrock shake... you know, the green ones...?" I was met with silence. "What kind of shakes do you have?" I demanded "Um, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate." Now I was silent while taking in the possibility that McDonald's didn't have a Shamrock Shake in Texas. I started again "I'm from the Chicago area and every year for St. Patrick's Day McDonald's makes a minty green shake called a Shamrock Shake and I guess you don't have them here." The voice on the other end said "Oh what a great idea, when is St. Patrick's Day?"

Wow, that's just nuts!
Would you believe Jenny I have never had one ! I know they exist though. I am sure they even sell them here. Take care, Olivia
They even improved them this year - whip cream and a cherry on top! YUM
Dammit woman! Drink as many of those as you can in honor of those of us who can't.
