My personal takeaway is that Grimmace is such a party monster, when you drink his shake, he arrives, and party's so hard, nobody survives. The human body isn't made to party like a Grimmace.
As a summer camp counselor who was working with 9-12 year olds during this whole Grimace shake trend, I can confirm there are indeed kiddos latching onto it. I've had kids both from my group and the younger group either explaining the concept to me, or asking me if the Grimace shake would really kill them.
what did you tell them?
@@alr3764 The first kid, I didn't outright deny it, but I did say I doubted it. In hindsight, I think he was the kind of kid who would've been chill with the scare. The second kid was from one of the younger groups, so I just said, "Oh, that's scary!", to which he politely assured /me/ it wasn't real, which was sorta cute in hindsight.
But if something like this happens again next year, I'm definitely playing along. The rest were just conversations I overheard but wasn't a part of.
my 7 yr old came in my room a few weeks ago swearing grimace milkshakes killed people. I had to buy one to prove her wrong XD
He didn't wish grimace a happy birthday, that's why he survived.
oooooohh
I made my own grimace shake and i can confirm, i died
Then how did you type that comment?
RIP @josephgonzo
@josephgonzo came back from dead just to write a comment. I respect you bro.
Aw shucks
@@Thomperfan Its obvious they rose up from the dead in fury
McDonald's employee... it's mixed berry flavor, but our shakes are flavors pumped into our vanilla soft serve base, so there's always that vanilla undertone :]
Flavor: Blueberry Muffin (I was told by my mom’s friend who manages at a McDonalds that the flavor it Blueberry Muffin but that her daughter thinks it taste raspberry)
The camera man never gets involved because he is grimace
Mcdonald's marketing team : "A win's a win."
As someone who is a part of a post-apocalyptic zombie survival horror LARP, I really wish I'd known about this trend when it first came out. I'm just finding out about it now. It would have been so fun to get my LARPing friends in on this
No joke, I would love to try LARPing I have a great imagination
@@skootergirl22 It is so fun, I don't know where I would be if I never started LARPing tbh. The community is so great. I wish we had chapters elsewhere other than America, we used to have some Canada locations but they shut down. There's 21 different chapters of our LARP spread across America tho, and it's awesome.
Is there any kind/setting of LARP would you be interested most in doing? I.e. fantasy, modern apocalypse, etc
The shake has two different flavors. If you drink it by itself, it tastes like a vanilla shake. If you drink it after eating a fry, it’s tastes like berries. I guess it reacts with the saltiness of fries.
it always tasted like berries to me
It just tastes like sugar and Grimace
I really liked the cinematic ones! They’re made really well!
Can’t wait for 2055 when the Burger King vape is released, and the new corresponding trend is unlawfully entering people’s homes to offer them food
The grimace shake tastes like if a blueberry shake died, and you resurrected it, but it didn't come back quite right. The flavor is thick? And sticks to your tongue. So it's like getting slapped repeatedly by something that keeps insisting its a fruit, but you aren't too sure it's telling the truth.
Oh lets be clear, this is an absolute DREAM for advertisers- this is like, best case scenario in so many ways. Its a trend, everyone is seeing it, and the trend is not one thats gonna get people hurt, and the trauma that one kid experienced is gonna leave him thinking of McDonnalds forever :P
Grimace vs. Barney coming this fall: the battle for the Color Purple.... coming to theaters this fall
he's not a blob, he's a tastebud. grimace loves to give hugs & taste children its horrifying
I always thought Grimace was 'sludge' (like the gunk you clean off of the grill lol) so I assumed the grimace shake was his sludge lol. But then I found out that apparently he's now supposed to be a 'taste bud.' So uh......hm.
It there was a Joinen shake it would probably be Lemon flavored and come in a pink carton
The grimace shake was actually really good. It has a somewhat berry flavor but was overall just sweet.
i’ve never been so uninterested with by the grimace thing, but when joinen uploads, i’m a simple fellow so i click
i first learned about the grimace shake when i messaged on discord that i wanted a milkshake and someone responded “DON’T DO IT! DON’T GET THE GRIMACE SHAKE”. i wasn’t even at mcdonald’s. i ended up getting a chocolate shake so i was safe from grimace
All advertising is good advertising! Mickey D got a great return on their ad dollars, even if the response wasn’t exactly what they expected.
I learned how to make the shake. I’m alive. But at what cost.
Its actually one of my favourite characters birthday today
I think this trend is great for creativity and I love watching them
Honestly it's like if you put the Black Raspberry flavoring into the vanilla shake is all... Wasn't too bad, just very sweet
My sister said “I wanna try the grimace shake!”
My nephew then said “No don’t you will die!” 😭
The extra effort in the outro🤌🏻
15:48 not only is he the true grimace, but I bet he rules all the other grimace minions too
Joinen didn't even need to drink the shake for Grimace to unalive him
I tried it and it was really sweet (depends on the amount of syrup, obviously) and it tasted like blueberry pancake mix to me. I liked it better frozen though. i did the trend but i only shared it to friends so im dead but nobody knows.
9:22 That was Monica from Friends with the dog 😂
I forgot how much I love review of the week. He's just such a fun person to listen to talk.
Grimace’s birthday lasted for 2 months its was birth-months at least in my area
I'm really bummed that I haven't seen any tiktoks expanding on the possible meta here. Like, why is Grimace coming to kill these people? Is McDonald's using it to target people, or was Grimace taken advantage of in some way (or was he literally used...) to make the shakes so he's taking revenge? Or is there something really twisted happening to people who drink it and Grimace and his minions are killing people to protect the populace? So many options!
Ofc Brent Rivera couldn't just do the meme normally. He had to make it weird.
the grimace shake was one of the funniest memes ever in its prime
This must be the aftermath of Grimace smoking weed back in 2022.
It was basically free advertising 😂
These vids terrified my oldest kid, 12. I think she has asked at least 8 times if this is really what would happen.
I was here for that stream and I'm still dying of laughter with the kid screaming lol
I think the marketing team is really happy cuz it’s basically a bunch of free extra marketing
The grimace shake tastes like blueberries honestly. Pretty good! I had like 4 of them because it was a limited time drink. 😊
Rip Joinen. Your sacrifice will be remembered 🫡
You were a little bit late but oh well, I'm just happy you uploaded
The real grimace shakes and the home made ones are so fing good. I want more grimace now. (He is controling me but my taste buds are fine w it)
Seeing as Grimace is literally a living taste bud... it checks out.
“You gotta put some effort into it. You cant just be dead on a rock.” -Joinen 2023
I thought the meme died, I never actually got to try the shake (I've always wanted to try it)
some of the tik toks are so well made tbh
Did u see the pr rebound where ppl made "feel sorry for grimace" vids ?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! grimace.
The world in 2023 is so scary. When I was a kid it was bloody mary and boogy man stuff.
Rip Joinen
We don't have this in Taiwan, so i had no idea it was even a thing😂
I find the grimace shake death trend funny
I was gonna get one when it first came out but I couldn't get over the fact that it was sooo much more expensive than a normal meal! I guess my cheapness saved my life! 😂
Report of the Week is so OP
merry grimace
**in the mcdonalds parking lot, two friends are talking with anxious looks on thier faces**
1: my friend tried the grimace shake...
2: where is he?
1: he couldn't escape.
2: what? escape who?
1: grimace.
2: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
1: when you drink the grimace shake, grima-
**a laughing sound comes from a nearby bush**
1 and 2: what was that?
2: wait... you didn't...
1: i did, i drank it too..
2: WAIT SO DOES THAT MEAN-
**1 screams as the camera cuts away from them, when the camera cuts back, 1 is lying dead in a puddle of purple liquid and 2 is seen crying above his body**
(end)
can you rate this short story i made from 1-10 in the comments?
9.9/10
-0.1 for the friend not being Baby Hazel
7.5/10. Not bad! Pretty well written, I just didn't feel it was super unique and I didn't become attached to the characters
Blueberries stain that colour. Its probably a blueberry shake
Why does Grimace kill people who wish them happy birthday??
The dude's name is Grimmace. You think the guy's *not* a blood-thirsty chicken nugget gone bad?
Who makes a mascot for FOOD called GRIMACE?
McDonald's. McDonald's does.
Joinen you should play the game they made about this lol
Congrats, the comment thing worked 🎉
7:50
Actually, no.
We have a 5yo kid that we take care of, and just loves the Grimace Shake thing
Basically called things that weren't even a drink a "Grimace Shake", and was just pretty annoying about it tbh lol
8:19 Oh mah god-
Joinen has been taken under by grimace
It may be late but i missed most of the trend anyway so i still enjoyed lol 😂
I think we'll all go to hell for laughing at that kid who is now traumatized by a milkshake.
I drank the grimace shake before the trend... I didn't die... I think...
Its mixed berry , I think
it's ube
I just wanna know when ghe video game comes out.
Its a normal shake
I never got a grimace shake...😢
Omg he didn't post today! Did grimace get him?
I did the grimace shake trend but when I bought it they were out of the flavor that made it purple, so it was white💀
no moi
JOINEN PLEASE GROW YOUR HAIR BACK OUT IM ABOUT TO CRY
I still don't know what the hell grimace is
Was it a character from a show?
He was a mascot of McDonald’s
That basically it
Manly to sell the milkshake
He a giant taste bud apparently.
ngl i do kinda like this trend it's creative and sometimes can be scary
unlike super cringe trends like skibbi toilet and digital circus (not saying digital circus itself is cringe i meant the "for kids")
but for the grimace shake, i dont like how its everywhere aimed for kids actually thinking its real
thats all
What did it even taste like??
Is the youth okay?
Helloooo
meow
I'm first?
