ice cream contains nutrition? o_O

Real ice cream, made from milk, does.


McDonald's shakes have milk. It's an urban legend that they don't.

Please don't think I have it in for all fiction articles. I couldn't care less if there were ten thousand articles on fictional robot cannons. On my own encyclopedia I would never delete an article that someone spent hours putting together, even if it was about something I had no interest in.

I just bought a Shamrock shake, which according to Wikipedia, is impossible because it is only sold in March.

Obviously your local McDonalds is staffed by Protestant terrorists who are trying to undermine the sacredness of St. Paddy.

What kind of bs is that? They serve mint shakes only during March, but orange juice every day of the year (before 10AM)?!?!?

Not mint. Vanilla (or more properly "vanilla") + green dye. It's much like the green Budweiser that will be flowing from many a keg a couple days after the Ides of March.

I'm pretty sure they use Nappy Light for that. Anyway, this is conversation might get silly at some point if we don't watch out.

I'm pretty sure it tasted minty. At any rate the formula has changed. It used to be served like a vanilla shake, in an opaque cup, and it was a uniform green color. Now it's vanilla shake served in a clear cup with green syrup poured onto the top, mixed slightly, and topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Whatever it is it's not just coloring because it tastes different depending on straw depth. It's been this way at least since last year.

If they can have a Shamrock Shake article, why not an FAC on Cookie O'Puss? All that exists is one sentence in the Cookie Puss article.

And, by the way, has anyone noticed the resemblance between Cookie Puss and Newyorkbrad? ermm.gif

A great example of how WR helps dedicated wikipedians correct errors in articles. I trust that wikipedian will think more highly of WR in future.

You are what you eat. Supposedly.
