"I was like, there must be something that can be done about this," Zahid told The Verge of first coming up with the idea, which was sparked following a disappointing trip to a German McDonald’

The Shamrock Shake was created back in 1967 by a McDonald’s owner in Connecticut.It debuted in select locations across the county in 1970 and went nationwide for the first time in 2012.
