The Terrifying Tale of McDonald's Grimace Shake Trend

A TikTok trend featuring the "Grimace shake," a berry-flavored drink named after McDonald's purple mascot, has gone viral, with videos of people enacting horror movie scenes while covered in the melted purple shakes. The trend, started by fans, has led to increased sales of the shake and even caused some stores to run out of ice cream. McDonald's has acknowledged the trend on TikTok, and while it may not have been a planned marketing campaign, it has boosted sales and resonated with younger audiences. However, the trend has also caused chaos for employees and some customers have engaged in disruptive behavior in restaurants.
