If it's March, it's time for McDonald's Shamrock Shake. I don't normally patronize the Golden Arches very often (I prefer McDowells) but I do enjoy the Shamrock Shake. Apparently, there has been recent debate over whether or not the Shamrock Shake is simply a vanilla shake dyed green or if it is indeed a mint shake. McDonald's site doesn't list mint flavor as an ingredient. However, a public accounting firm conducted a double blind test this month and 98% of participants detected mint flavoring in the Shamrock Shake.
Here's another fun fact from Wikipedia: in conjunction with the release of Shrek the Third, McDonalds released the Minty Mudbath, a Shamrock Shake mixed with chocolate. It was discontinued shortly after it's release because it was discovered that 'Minty Mudbath' has an alternative meaning.
You're going to have to look it up.

I had my first Shamrock Shake just the other day - courtesy of my awesome boss. I had always heard the debate about it being either a mint-flavored shake or a vanilla shake colored green, but after finally having one, I'm not sure how someone could be unable to detect the mint flavor.
I'm not going to look up "Minty Mudbath" just like I didn't look up "Hot Richard" when Frank suggested it as a name for the mini-microwave on 30 Rock last week.
