Ah ha!

It was reported on multiple websites of a change in the Shamrock Shake formula for the 2010 season. With McDonald’s introduction of the McCafe concept, the shake no longer came in the paper soda cup but instead in a clear plastic cup. And workers began offering both whipped cream and a cherry as a topping for all shakes (how are you supposed to get the cherry up through the straw anyway?) But the major complaints are with an actual change in flavor with many people saying it had more of a vanilla taste, was not minty enough and it was not mixed well.
