August 31st 2024.
Just a few days ago, the highly anticipated McDonald's Grimace Shake was released in the UK for the first time ever. But, unfortunately, it seems that fans have been left disappointed as the limited edition menu item has already sold out.
The shake, which was launched to commemorate 50 years since McDonald's arrived in Britain, was set to be available from August 28th to September 3rd. However, in a recent announcement on social media, the fast food chain shared a picture of the iconic purple mascot with the caption "We sssoldd out the shake :(".
Understandably, fans have expressed their frustration and disappointment on social media. Some have even shared their personal experiences, like @kettleonwater who said their nephew spent 10 minutes crying over not being able to get the Grimace Shake. While @Aprilxloux begged for its return, stating that her kids were devastated and had even tried multiple McDonald's locations to no avail.
Others have also voiced their disappointment, with comments like "Not fair!!" and "What is going on?!". It seems that even some loyal customers are feeling let down, with one person asking McDonald's UK how they can explain and apologize for this situation.
For those lucky enough to have tried the Grimace Shake, reviews have been positive, with comments like "10/10" and "slaps". People have described the drink as "tasting great" and being "really good".
Unfortunately, for those who were unable to get their hands on the shake, they will just have to imagine its flavor. According to McDonald's, the shake combines blueberry syrup with a creamy milkshake base to create the "perfect purple combination".
This is not the first time the Grimace Shake has caused a stir. It was first released in the US in 2023 and was available for a month to celebrate Grimace's 52nd birthday. Its launch quickly sparked a bizarre TikTok trend, with people pretending to collapse after taking a sip of the drink. As a result, it has now been dubbed "the infamous Grimace Shake" by many social media users.
The character Grimace, who inspired the shake, was originally introduced in 1971 as a villain who loved to steal milkshakes. However, in 1972, he was reintroduced as a friendly and clumsy monster. According to McDonald's, Grimace is "the embodiment of a milkshake or a taste bud".
Celebrities have also joined in on the Grimace Shake craze, with Friends star Courteney Cox sharing a parody video of her dog drinking the shake and transforming into a giant purple creature.
While it is uncertain if McDonald's UK will restock the Grimace Shake, there are still exciting products to enjoy on their 50th birthday celebration menu. Some of these include the Double Big Mac, Raspberry Ripple Milkybar McFlurry, and the McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse, all available until September 3rd. Additionally, the beloved Philly Cheese Stack and Chicken Big Mac will be returning to stores on September 4th, hopefully bringing some joy to disappointed fans.
