McDonald’s never announces an exact end date. They love the mystery. It’s a delicious game of “Find the Green.” You might walk in on March 17th and see the machine mysteriously broken.

Remember that chaos? Supply chains went haywire. Shamrock Shakes became unicorns. People drove across state lines. One fan paid $50 on eBay for a single empty cup. True story.
