Exciting news for all McDonald's lovers in the UK! The rare and highly anticipated Grimace Shake is finally making its way across the pond. The iconic purple drink, which became a viral sensation in the US last year, will be available for one week only from August 28th to September 3rd as part of McDonald's 50th birthday celebration in the UK.
For those who may not be familiar, the Grimace Shake was first launched in America in June 2023 to celebrate Grimace's 52nd birthday. It quickly gained popularity and even sparked a bizarre TikTok trend where people pretended to collapse after taking a sip. As a result, it has been dubbed the "infamous Grimace Shake" by many on social media.
But what exactly is in this mysterious purple concoction? After much speculation, McDonald's UK has confirmed that it features a blueberry-flavored syrup blended with a creamy milkshake base, creating the perfect purple combination. The drink will be available in medium and large sizes for £2.69 and £2.99 respectively, and can be purchased in-store, through the app, at the drive-thru, or via McDelivery.
Aside from the Grimace Shake, McDonald's is also bringing back a few other fan-favorites to the menu. The Philly Cheese Stack and the Chicken Big Mac will be making a comeback on September 4th, much to the delight of fans. The Philly Cheese Stack, which was first launched in October 2023, was so popular that a petition was even created for its return. Fans raved about its two beef patties, cheese sauce, two cheese slices, grilled and crispy onions, and pickles all sandwiched between a toasted bun.
In addition to these menu items, McDonald's also recently announced the return of their Monopoly game starting on September 4th. With exciting prizes up for grabs such as £100,000 cash, new cars, and vacations, it's definitely something to look forward to.
Celebrities have also joined in on the hype for the Grimace Shake, with Friends star Courteney Cox sharing a parody video of her dog turning into a giant purple creature after drinking the shake. Many other famous faces have also taken to social media to express their love for the drink and the Philly Cheese Stack.
