McDonald’s elusive Shamrock Shake either shows up this time of year or doesn’t.

In lieu of driving all over the place trying to find one, here’s some alternatives.

Or if you want to slurp the real deal, start here.

8th Continent

‘The sun icons identify flavors and serve as a reminder that soymilk is a healthy, plant-based drink’

Joe Miller turned me on to this stuff. Smooth flavor, tons of protein.

Last year, Bob Dinetz and BBDO West updated 8th Continent’s packaging with Yoplait-like illustrations by Ben Javens.

Yoplait

‘Their logo is a six-petaled flower designed by Phlippe Morlighem, each petal representing one of the six main cooperatives founders’

I remember when Yoplait yogurt worked its way into the US. Late 1970s.

In the dairy section of the store there were all these everyday milk cartons, cottage cheese and yogurt packages. And standing out amongst them was Yoplait. Looking very French.

Naturally, it was the one I had to try.

‘And what is this?’

‘In Kazakhstan we only have pepper and whole nuts in supermarkets’

While trying to understand the US, Borat Sagdiyev ends up in a large supermarket and asks a lot of questions.

This is my absolute favorite scene from Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006).

And it wasn’t even in the movie – it can be found as a ‘deleted scene’ on the DVD.

‘avarice’

‘Sugary motion graphic piece inspired by a poem from Irish author Tony Curtis.’
