Grimace Shake

The Grimace Shake is a berry-flavored milkshake that was first sold at McDonald's restaurants in the United States, from June 12, 2023, to July 9, 2023, to celebrate the 52nd birthday of Grimace, the purple monster mascot from McDonaldland. The shake was later also sold for a short time in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Brazil and Turkey.

The shake became popular on TikTok and YouTube with the #GrimaceShake trend, where users made videos themselves drinking the shake and then pretended something scary or weird happened to them.

 Before the shake 
The character Grimace was introduced in the McDonaldland media franchise in 1971 as "Evil Grimace". His original character had four arms and would steal people's milkshakes. McDonald's soon changed the character to a a friendly purple character with two arms who loves milkshakes and appears with Ronald McDonald and other characters in advertisements and commercials.

Some McDonald's workers said Grimace as an "perfect example of a milkshake or a taste bud", but many fans still have to guess who he really is. McDonald’s says Grimace comes from Grimace Island, along with other family members like Uncle O'Grimacey, who brings Shamrock Shakes for Saint Patrick's Day.
