hello everyone this is
review well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone watching this is the unnamed drink series where
i have no name for it but this is where i review drinks that aren't energy drinks
that are just these things that we consume from time to time normally in liquid form
and this one is i think a favorite of some as for me this is going to be maybe maybe some redemption
maybe not i have no idea we're just going to find out um we're going to be trying out the shamrock
shake from mcdonald's today now the shamrock shake is like i guess a seasonal release it comes out
you know once a year uh they're releasing it today that's why i did that to say today
but it's going to be here for about the next month for uh saint patrick's day and the shamrock shake
is simply um a milkshake that they release that's supposed to just be a little on the mintier side
of things we have it right here you can see it has a green hue to it as well so it's supposed
to be green in color and um you know can just be like a minty milkshake here's the thing i tried
it back in 2017 and i hated it i i say that with no exaggeration i actually despised it
i hated it so much so much that it's probably one of the lowest rated items i've ever tried ever
of all the reviews i've done it's actually one of the lowest rated items ever tried if
you believe that i gave it i think a one out of ten i mean i like it words can't even express
my hatred for it in that review now i watched that review this afternoon and i was thinking i really
i really had it out for them i guess i just didn't like it that day but you know what things change
maybe i got a bad one maybe it is just that bad um but maybe it's improved maybe i got i don't know
so i'm here to retry it give it a shot at redemption and we're going to see how good
this is again this is a limited time milkshake available at all mcdonald's locations for about
the next month and it's supposed to be like a vanilla milkshake um with some mint to it again
with this little greenish hue i don't know if you could really tell but this tie is kind of green
i just said well it's not you know the vibrant green that you get in this but
it's something right uh this is available at the price of about three dollars for a medium at least
that's the price i paid for this one i think the price can vary from you know like establishment to
establishment but i paid three bucks for a medium one so that's what the price came out to be but
anyway it's a very basic item very straightforward so um you know now that we know what's in it again
it's supposed to be minty i'm going to see if it's as bad as i remember it being or maybe they did
redeem themselves so we'll find out i decided you know what it's the shamrock shake so i'm
going to uh i'm going to switch things up a little bit i said you know what this is a cold beverage
of course we want it to stay cold so i'm going to go outside and i'm going to drink it in the snow
so follow me and uh let's go outside and let's uh sit down in some snow and uh sip away how about it
what
this is how you consume a shamrock shake in its natural habitat
all right we're back we're warmed up and uh now it's time to share our findings from that unique
experience and um see how good you know how good this wound up being well the good news i think as
you can kind of tell by my um my choice of words there there is an improvement again i don't know
what happened on that on that fateful evening in 2017 why it was just like that bad to me i think
when i was trying it out then it was something like the artificial nature of the um the mintiness
at the time was just really bothersome to me and again it came off as like very chemically you know
very chemical-esque very artificial and it was like mouthwash i think that's the what it reminded
me of uh i'm very happy to say that it's it's much better at this point not that it's the world's
best you know shamrock shake so to speak but there definitely is an improvement um one thing
that i noticed this time around is that it's very light which is again i would prefer it to be on
the lighter side as opposed to being our you know overly artificial in your face um type of flavor
when you when you eat this or drink it i mean i guess you could eat a milkshake right you
consume when you consume this uh this beverage one thing to note is that it's not like one of those
you know if you ever had a york peppermint patty you eat that and it's like this whole wave of just
that peppermint flavor that mintiness that hits you and it's just real strong it's not like that
at all um as you're sipping away it's very smooth it's very sweet um i would say that the mint is
actually more of a subtlety as opposed to the primary flavor here it's more like you're sipping
away the vanilla milkshake you taste that vanilla flavor that sweetness that creaminess to it
and then there's a little bit of like a note of some minty you know some minty flavor there
it's pleasant though it blends together again it's very sweet it's like a good dessert beverage
um but certainly i don't really have any complaints this time around
yeah it's artificial but it doesn't have that i guess overly synthetic unpleasant
characteristic that it did in 2017 so it doesn't again taste like you know some sort of um
you know mint uh mouthwash or toothpaste that you're hating you know you just hate the flavor
in this case i would say that it's very light but not bad as i've said now for like the fifth
time i'm okay with that definitely a big step in the right direction and um i mean with that said
there's not too much to really say about it you know it's like another thing that i was upset
about in 2017 about it was that the flavor of the mint i think left this very unpleasant aftertaste
that isn't there this time around uh they're really it's just so light i don't really notice
much of an aftertaste at all it's like once you take that step again you just notice the
sweetness the vanilla and then a little note of that mint here and there you know as it kind of
permeates your mouth but you know then it dissipates after you swallow it down uh you know
so does the flavor so it's just something that i think is light it's enjoyable it's refreshing
sip away at it here and there it's not going to overwhelm you um it's not overly sweet i think
it's a nice balanced drink to tell you the truth it's like i think they have a good combination of
factors here right not overly sweet not overly minty just enough as a matter of fact i would
even say it could probably be a little mintier but again definitely a huge improvement compared
to what i had back in 2017. now price wise it is a little expensive i mean four dollars for um a
medium one i think it was 3.99 that was the price that i paid for a medium one but again i've seen
prices all over the place so it's a bit pricey for what it is i guess they're saying like it's
a specialty beverage but all things considered still um i enjoy it i'll probably get it again
because again it's light it's inoffensive i don't have really any problems with it so uh out of 10
as i said could be a little on the mintier side to tell you the truth but aside from that i don't
really have a problem with it a big improvement uh definitely compared to what i tried back in 2017
so um i'm going to give this a 6.5 out of 10. again this is very light it's not
overly flavorful again it could be a little more you know in certain ways here and there but for
what it is i'm happy with it i'm happy to see that whatever happened then happened i don't even know
what it was in 2017 but um i don't even want to think about the possibilities who knows maybe i
just had a bad day or something but definitely a a much more improved item this time around so we
tried out the uh well the shamrock shake from mcdonald's giving it a chance for redemption
and redeemed itself it has so with that that's all that i have for you ladies and gentlemen
