mcdonalds go green?? naw aww!
So there I was, just finishing the delicious, nostalgic frozen treat I crave every year. I was seated in a north side mcdonalds, after listening to my uncle's Credence Clearwater Revival ensemble, and I had just slurped down a yummy "Shamrock Shake." Yes, I'll say it loudly and proudly: those minty creamy things are a delight!
Though the night had been sweet, so sweet, I was about to be shocked beyond belief. For what do you know, but on my way out the door I sadly- most unfortunately- glanced at a little mcdonald's advertisement on the window. A little "gimmick" if you will. What did this sticker sign read? To my utter, most profound horror, it read "go green- try a Shamrock Shake!" NO! No! I cursed. No mcdonalds, no! Why couldn't it have said, "st. patty's day is just around the corner- try a Shamrock Shake!" Or even, "your favorite holiday treat is back- try a Shamrock Shake!"
Mcdonalds, mcdonalds, why. Why do I continue to purchase your salty fries and tartared filet-o-fish when I know better? When I know you just sucked me in as a young child and your food has negative health value and you, as a company, are exploitative and rude?
Oh oh I lament. I cry. I cry! for you, for me. But most of all for the innocents: the Shamrock Shakes. A sad day. A tasty day, yes, but a bone-chilling day.
Adieu.
