Shamrock Shake Located, Disappointment Ensues

On our epic roadtrip from Kansas City to Boston and back, Papa and I managed to locate the Shamrock Shake twice.  The first time was at 2 am in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, but the machine was closed for cleaning and we did not get our mint-fix on. 

No, the Shamrock Shake was conquered at a road-side rest-stop somewhere between New Haven and NYC. Maybe it was the fact that the ladies operating the machine didn't know how to properly mix the green dream minty mix with the vanilla base, or maybe it was the fact that it was 10 am, but it was not my day to have a Shamrock Shake -- big disappointment people. 

They are not as good as I remember them being. 
To put it in Papa's wise words:  "It tastes like we're brushing our teeth."

Keep dreaming kids, that childhood Shamrock Shake is somewhere out there, waiting to be appreciated.

saddenating! i have had two this month. both were equally satisfying. they are especially good if you only drink like half of it and then put the rest in the freezer for a couple of hours. makes a great mushy ice cream.
