Welcome to Gaia! ::

Possibly, but I think they carried it for about a month or two.

Yea, but then you can at least find it for 1/6th of the year, better than nada right? Anyhow I'm not entirely sure it was a St. Patrick's Day special, at the same time Silo Carls is not a regular Carls, and just because Silo has it doesn't mean a normal branch would.

Haha, no Silo Carls isn't a place (well not in the sense you are thinking). I used to work for a company called Sodexo, and the company ran most of the food establishments on campus. The Dining Commons, The Mondavi Centre (which is a theatre but Sodexo ran concessions) and The Silo. Silo is just a building (that probably used to be part of a silo back when Davis was all farmland) that houses Pizza Hut, Carls Jr, Silo Express (premade food), Brennans (they sell Starbucks coffee), Silo Sandwiches, a crepe place and Taco Bell. By specifying "Silo" Carls I just mean that Sodexo wasn't necessarily affiliated with any of the fast food branches they bought from. So places within Silo would not sell the exact same menu you'd get at a normal establishment, we didn't take general pizza hut or whatever coupons, we weren't affiliated with the businesses in that sense. And at times, we had things on our menu that you wouldn't find at the normal locations. And visa versa. Sometimes after events we'd have a lot of something, like say mint chocolate chip ice cream. So it's more than probably we'd just have our Carls Jr add that flavor of milkshake until we depleted the stock, for no reason other than we had stuff. And because we aren't entirely individual locations, our stock could cross between units. Which is why Carls Jr in Silo could end up with things that might never be on the menu at a normal location, for no reason, other than Sodexo has extra product to move. So yea, Silo is where I used to work, and everything housed in Silo wouldn't necessarily be comparable to what's on the outside.

Haha, well don't give up. And again I don't 100% remember the circumstances in which we got it, so if you are ever at Carls, especially around St. Patrick's Day, you might as well take a look. I mean I've had their shakes (chocolate) at a non-Silo place so I know they are equal quality even outside of UCD. Thus, if a regular Carls ever does get a mint it'll probably still be epic.

Most fast food places have a website that put their menu online, so you can see what they have at pretty much any general location. I haven't checked for Carls but in the internet age I would say there is a 180% chance that they do. So you could check to see what they have generally, or check online around St. Patrick's Day and see if they have specials of the mint shake variety. But yea I know tons of people who only patronize certain places for specials, so they keep an eye out for ads, or check online at certain times of year to see if they can find what they want.

Hehe, after I said that I was like...huh, ya know stalking a fast-food place seems crazy. My friends are crazy!
