Why is everyone drinking Grimace? And why are they mad that he doesn’t taste what they thought he would?

In recent fast food marketing, McDonald's has decided to celebrate Grimace’s birthday this week. Grimace, the purple nugget shape blob, was apparently born (or hatched?) on June 12th. To get everyone festive, McDonald's is selling Grimace’s Birthday Meal which includes the Gimace Shake.

The shake, which is light purple, has taken over social media. People’s reactions range from delight to disgust. More importantly, many people are wondering how McDonald's makes the shakes. Were any Grimaces harmed? There are so many questions!

Nevertheless, Grimace is a queer icon that the internet loves. Who doesn’t want a cup full of the guy?
