The Shamrock Shake is back. Hereโs why you canโt get it year-round
(CNN) -- The Shamrock Shake is back again. In addition to the traditional green vanilla shake, McDonald's is selling a version made with Oreo cookies. Temporary offerings like the Shamrock Shake help McDonald's create buzz and bring in nostalgic customers. Ideally for the company, people will associate fall with Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Lattes, or early spring with a Shamrock Shake. Plus, while people get excited for Pumpkin Spice or Shamrock Shake season, they may not actually want the indulgent items all year round.
