Yeah, like this store I go to has gummy teeth, and the color and shape is dead on, it grosses me out everytime is see them. Thinking of getting a bag, and putting them on top of my teeth and like driving through the bank for something..:bigsmile: :laugh:
But have you noticed they've changed the color to orange yolk now from the original yellow some years back? Yea, that used to sorta gross me out, funny how sometimes something to real in color can do that:laugh:
I don't like them, never have...but 'tis also the season for those Cadbury eggs with the fake yolk that always grossed out my friends in school.Someone fill me in -- how are Shamrock Shakes flavored? Still vanilla or chocolate or mint or shamrock? :indifferent:
I've never had one. Might hafta change that!
what does it matter.....it has over 60 grams of sugar........come on...dont do it
Life is meant to be lived, in moderation for sure, but one Shamrock Shake won't kill me!:laugh:
I'm planning for one when I really want it, and then it will be done.
I guess the kids love them, they are strawberry cream flavor. Eeewww.:noway:0 -
Picturing anyone with fake teeth pulling up to a bank teller window made me laugh uncontrollably... Too funny!!!:laugh:0

ew, I know I shouldn't bring this up but it's already passed through my memory...blech Do you recall when they used to sell (well still do in someplaces I'm sure) 'gummy boogers' with the other candy in gas stations etc.?? I was traveling and went into grab a pop years ago and saw them, it was like an accident you just simply couldn't look away! They had well, let's put it this way, very realistic colors and photos on the back of the little box, all sorts of shapes that were, well, realistic is the only way to put it. I was gonna buy a box for a joke for someone but couldn't bring myself to the idea of supporting the company!:laugh: :laugh: :sick:0 -

Oh! Easy-peasy to make this healthier....
Use Lowfat frozen yogurt
Skim Milk in place of half-and-half (or Soymilk, but it will mess with the flavor a bit more)
The rest is alright!
The texture may be a little more "icy" and not as creamy, since you're chopping a lot of the fat....but it just may kill the craving!

I buy sugar free ice cream from my Coop that is sweetened with Stevia...................and it is all natural.
Sorry for the hijack, but I see this qualification all the time, here, there and everywhere. Companies love to throw the "all natural" out there, and so many people just suck it up like it is the best thing ever. Here is a short list of "all natural", but I would not want to eat any of it:
Arsenic
mercury
poison ivy
crude oil
radioactive material
asbestos
So please, just because something is labeled "all natural" does not make it good, good for you, or anything that resembles that. Maybe stevia is healthy, maybe it is not. I do not know. I do know however that every sweetener has downsides. I would rather stick to sugar myself, at least I know what it does...0 -
Yum, I love anything with mint and Ice cream. Good thing that the closest McD's is 30 miles from my house. I'm sure I'll end up getting one sometime.
I'm jealous of this!! I think my biggest problem was that McDonald's was always around the corner when I was hungry or wanted something sweet or salty ... Never had a Shamrock Shake ... I think I'll stick to my Skinny Cow mint ice cream sandwich when I'm craving

Anna_Banana....I actually DO NOT use fake sweetener....its a personal choice....
Imagine, I dont BUY ice cream, or yogurt. Also I am not into coffee. My whey protein shakes only have 3 grams of sugar, and I have gotten local all natural honey still in the honey comb IF I want a little treat
Also the diet I have been following has made me the healthiest I have EVER been in my life. I have never felt so much energy and am really starting to realize how important will power really is!!
Thank you MFP for helping me attain my goals of healthy CLEAN eating!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:0 -
Go to your local grocery story and get a container of healthy choice mint chocolate chip ice cream and mix it with a cup of skim milk and blend. I am sure it has to be less than half of those calories.

30 pounds and about 4 years ago, when they put Shamrock Shake up on the sign I stopped and had one everyday until they went away again.... plus a big mac, fries, well you get the picture! Now I have one small shake once a year, just to get the taste that I love! Yeah it isn't healthy, but NONE of my old habits were, so one shake is worth it for me to run a little harder that day. And as Gray said, if I don't have it once I will obsess unitl I go overboard! I guess each of us has that thing that we are willing to splurge for! Shamrock shakes are mine!0
