So, my son saw the TV ads for the Grimace Shake (somewhat unavoidable) and pestered me to try it out. It's never been available in Australia as far as I know. This thing has a weird following in the US underpinned by a viral theme. Crack for kids when all of it is combined.
I tentatively had half a sip of my son's shake and it was overwhelming. I'd like to tell you it had hints of blueberry, perhaps even grape. But unsurprisingly, it was the most disgusting drink I've ever tasted. Notes of sadness, despair and an upper respiratory tract infection. Sickly sweet with repeated waves of after taste that kept getting worse as the seconds passed. We were both desperate for water after a single sip.
Please, avoid this abomination at all costs, for your own sake.

Sounds rad. I’ll take two.
Now I definitely need to try it
It’s probably purple flavoured. Purple is a fruit.
Manz taking one for the team, I salute you
Told my 7 year old the machine was broken yesterday when she asked for one. She then saw 2 people with them and so has since told every single person we have seen since that McDonald’s lied to me about their machine being broken. Oops.
Man I still want one.
As a Gen x child of the 80s I’ve had to explain Grimace, the Hamburgler and Mayor McCheese to my kids. Damn I want those toys back!
They should have made it a taro shake and it would have been awesome
It tastes like marshmallows.
Sounds great, can’t wait to have one.
The wanky way you wrote this made me want to try it just to spite you
It was fine, not even good but fine. I would describe the flavour as sweet
Sounds like they made you grimace
I heard the process for making it involves actual Grimace furiously masturbating into a cup.
It was better than I expected, BUT i have to take off the whipped cream though
I think I saw on the tv ad that it also comes in a meal with a Big Mac and fries?
I cant imagine anyone feeling well after managing to finish all that
The hyperbole is strong
Apart from it tasting like shit, the worst thing is that it costs $6.25 for a small.
You have lived a blessed life indeed if the worst tasting thing that’s been in your mouth was a milkshake.
It’s not even named after the McDonalds character, it’s named after the expression you make while drinking it
OP crazy. The drink tastes like a Rainbow Paddle-pop and the flavour isn’t overpowering like their other shakes can be.
Do they use real Grimace in it or is it reconstituted from a powder?
Objection: teen here, it’s actually good
Thank you for doing the lord’s work.
What an overreaction. Its just mixed berry. Dont be such a tosser
Oh fuck off mate, it’s a milkshake from maccas.
Tastes like taro milk tea powder blended with soft serve.
