On Tuesday, McDonald’s welcomed four new Shamrock Shakes into the world. The Chocolate Shamrock Shake, Shamrock Chocolate-Chip Frappe, Shamrock Hot Chocolate and Shamrock Mocha all weigh in at 21 or 22 ounces*; both parent company and babies are doing fine.

*Sizes are for large drinks; mediums are 16 ounces and smalls are 12 ounces.
