To The Keeper Of The Arches

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Dear McDonald's,

You make me sad. Just a few thoughts regarding your crazy fast food shenanigans:

Today was St. Patrick's Day so I assumed if I ventured through your drive-thru I'd be allowed one last hurrah! to pick up a Shamrock Shake before they disappear with the rest of the leprechauns until next year. Naturally, I also assumed that they would be around at least until the day AFTER the holiday they are made for, so you can imagine my surprise to find out that you stopped making them...YESTERDAY. Really? The 16th? Hmmm...perplexing. Nobody could possibly want a green milk shake on St. Patrick's day, right? No, of course not. Silly McDonald's. Oh, which leads me to my next thought, if you started putting orange juice back into regular drink cups instead of the McCafe cups, not only would that be very "green" of you during the most appropriate time for such things, maybe you would not need to make my delicious caramel frappe in a McFlurry cup 12 hours later. I'm no Executive in Charge or a Keeper of the Golden Arches, but still...just an observation...
