I'm pretty sure that in Stephen King's story "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" (which the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" was based on) the main character every year managed to procure a Shamrock Shake for one of the prisoners. Can someone confirm this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.214.47.90 (talk) 23:29, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It does not meet the four requirements of notability:
There is significant coverage of the subject in the independent press; There are no provided citations that meet this requirement, there is not even a single reliable link in the first ten pages of a Google search on the subject.
The sources are reliable The sources are petitions, blogs and YouTube - none of which meet the standards of reliability.
The sources are secondary, or when primary they follow the WP:PSTS guides for primary sources;
You generated none of the information, you are not promoting the products, it is not structured as an ad (no peacock statements) and it is not a press release. This is the only acceptable reason, unfortunately 25% does not count.
You feel that it deserves an article yet the standards of Wikipedia says it doesn't. Also no one felt it even warranted an opinion at the time of the RFC. If you want to recreate it, you had better give it a better reason other than "I like it".
It's a PR release. It's about as independent as Ireland is to the United Kingodom. Ok, never mind, I fail at jokes, but a PR release is as good as linking to the home website – it exists, sure, but is not notable. hbdragon88 (talk) 06:31, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Eww, it is a PR release. Sorry about that. I can't find any good sources that are really about this shake, so I guess I'm wrong. It would've been nice if the initial reason weren't "nobody responded a month and a half ago!", though. -Amarkovmoo!06:39, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Visited Fitzgerald's Casino McDonalds on November 15, 2008. They do not serve the shakes year round anymore and looked quite puzzled when an order for one was placed. 64.105.107.50 (talk) 21:17, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The citation says nothing about "lemon-lime flavored" nor anything about sherbet being an ingredient. https://news.mcdonalds.com/shamrock-shake-50 states "The Shamrock Shake was created in 1967 by Hal Rosen, a Connecticut McDonald’s Owner and Operator who made the delicious, mint shake in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day." I've never heard of shamrock shakes ever being anything other than mint, and I was born in 1970. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:4D80:3190:91F4:1C04:C634:9C35 (talk) 03:50, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The references provided are not very good, as most require registration. This is a major no-no as most contribs are not members of these sites. Someone please take the time to fix them - I will be deleting them as such! --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 05:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
some people are wandering if the delicious shake has a type of something that comes from. shamrock all regular people can't find whats in it 75% say that its probably just a mint flavored shake filled with mint. 25% say that it mite be a type of sweet syrup from a shamrock. the question remains unquestionabale what is the sweet ingrediant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.57.131.19 (talk) 12:24, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The shamrock is just a chintzy name for the clover plant. The very small, 3-leaved plant that grows in many fields. I doubt it has any flavour beyond "leafy", and even if it did, it seems impractical and expensive when you could just use sugar, or high-fructose bleedin' corn syrup.
http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/getnutrition/ingredientslist.pdf Here's a handy guide to our favourite heart-attack merchants. Their ingredient guide. The shake contains "shamrock syrup", which contains "flavorings (plant source)" and a lot of high-fructose corn syrup. Among others.

. The Shamrock Shake was created in 1967 by Hal Rosen, a Connecticut McDonald’s Owner/Operator who made the delicious, mint shake in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. It later debuted in select locations across the U.S. in 1970 and was an instant success. 72.74.62.68 (talk) 01:25, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
