Ever since McDonald’s released the Grimace Meal and Shake in honor of the character’s birthday, people have been jumping to try it. However, the purple milkshake has inspired some somewhat disturbing TikToks fabricating the effects of the beverage.

Recommended Videos

These TikToks typically begin with creators saying, “Today, we’re going to try the new Grimace Shake from McDonald’s. Happy Birthday, Grimace!” and end with some variation of them with purple liquid all over them.

The dedication seems to be paying off, as many users have gone viral because of their Grimace Shake videos, though some of them are marked as sensitive content. Here are the top videos of the #GrimaceShake trend.

This creator took the time to compile several of the viral videos under one eerie Grimace-themed compilation.

Wolfe took a meta approach to the trend, brushing off the effects of the shake he’d seen online. Clearly, that was a mistake.

Another compilation, this video cuts between happy families at McDonald’s and clips of traumatized TikTokers.

Popular creator Haley Baylee even hopped on the trend, and her dedication to the mania gave her over 2 million views.

From @emxcarmona

@Emxcarmona dedicated herself to a cinematic vision of this trend, resulting in over a million views.

Thankfully, if you choose to try the Grimace Shake, none of the events above are likely to actually happen to you. To give it a try or create your own horror-inspired TikTok, order the Grimace Birthday meal for a limited time.
