The Grimace shake is blueberry. A McDonald’s employee said it’s supposed to be blueberry muffin, but I think it is the vanilla ice cream that makes the “muffin” part. It’s very much a blueberry shake. 😋
Per Wikipedia - “A large purple monster who was first introduced in November 1971 as the "Evil Grimace".” Also, he is apparently meant to be a large, sentient taste bud.
@@Momoko524ao you must be young. Grimace is way older than the chicken nugget. I very fondly remember when they were invented….they came in only a 6 piece at the time. My mom and I were driving from LBI, NJ home to northeastern PA. We went through the drive through and I got these new chicken McNuggets. Omg they were unlike anything that anyone had at the time. We got off the next exit and got another order to share. We thought 9 we’re the perfect amount and obviously we weren’t the only ones. So they started offering 6, 9 or 12 nuggets. Then changed over the years to 4, 6 or 10. Then they added other sauces too!! Not just BBQ. But they discontinued my fave dipping sauce, honey. 😢
I love watching your mcdonald’s videos because it’s so interesting to see that a majority of the joy you get is from the nostalgia of things you ate as a child. I feel pretty similarly, when I eat mcdonalds, i don’t tend to stray far from the things I liked as a kid. I truly believe if i never had mcdonalds as a kid and tried it only as an adult, i would think it tasted like crap 😅
Grimace was performed by Patty Saunders from his first appearance in 1971 thru 1983. The "bad" Grimace was supposed to be an old man but the new Grimace is supposed to be school age to play and celebrate birthdays with children.
They do not offer this in France. But, when you eat in the restaurant, your fries and nuggets come in a washable plastic container. Drinks are served in washable plastic cups.
Had the meal the other day just to taste the shake. Its addicting. But i couldnt figure out the flavor. So had my son try it and he said blueberry and than proceeded to try to steal my shake. 😂 kids still do that at 21yrs old. 😂
I remember being confused when you said that McFlurries were McDonald's version of milkshakes in your McD Canadian taste test video because I was pretty sure they were part of their core menu everywhere; I had them all the time growing up and as far as I knew they still had both milkshakes and McFlurries. The fact that you never realized they had milkshakes now explains your previous comment. 😂
I always ask for unsalted fries. They are really really fresh that way. Plus, McDonald's fries are EXTREMELY salty, and I don't enjoy them unless they have a limited amount of salt. I often eat them unsalted.
So glad I watched this! I literally made my channel less than a week ago. In each video, i try to tailor towards what the needs of my audience who might be watching my videos. I hope I can be successful at this.
As an ex-McDonald's employee, please don't ask for unsalted fries if you just want them fresh. If you ask for unsalted they have to assume that you have a no-sodium dietary requirement and have to not only cook a fresh batch, but also isolate and clean thoroughly a compartment of the fry station, ensure nobody uses it for the 3 minutes it takes to cook them, and then serve them. It's frustrating and just slows down service for the whole team. If you want fresh fries, just ask. We were required to do so if a customer asks.... I've had this happen and later the person asked for salt while a queue of 10 people accumulated. EDIT: I didn't expect this comment to blow up, but just to clarify a few things and answer some common responses. 1. "Why go to McDonalds if you have a no/low-sodium diet?" Well as an employee that was none of my business. It was not my job to question how others live their lives or what they eat. However, if the only information we're given is "unsalted, please" we have to assume it's a dietary requirement because it's safer to assume it is than to assume it's not. 2. "But I like my fries less salted or without salt." - Then ask for that. I'm not saying you can't ask for unsalted fries. But if it's not a dietary requirement, it helps save time and unnecesary work for the employees if you communciate that. 3. "But I worked at McDonalds and we didn't do that." - You should have. That's corporate protocol, but not all (and I would say most) McDonald's follow all protocols. For example, where I worked we were supposed to throw out uneaten burgers every 15-20 mins. We didn't, we just changed the timers. 4. There were quite a few rude respones. Really unnecessary, guys. Let's try keep Emmy's channel and comment section clean and polite.
As a person with allergies, it makes McDonald's employees lazy when people do stuff like this. I have a strawberry allergy. I always state I have a strawberry allergy. If I'm getting a smoothie or a shake, I only go inside to order those now, so that I can say specifically, "I am very allergic to strawberry, so the blender needs to be washed thoroughly for my smoothie/milkshake" and watch them wash it. I've received two contaminated smoothies too many and both were in drive-thrus. From the same McDonalds at that. It ended up being a big situation with corporate, and I believe several employees ended up losing their jobs as a result of my two separate hospital trips.
@limalicious Very sorry to hear of your misfortune, but thank you for sharing this information. It really is important to remind everyone --as a whole-- that every statement of an allergy should be assumed true and taken seriously. Additionally, a reminder to not state you have an allergy if it is untrue and just be honest saying if you don't like strawberry... essence(?) To just say so. Thanks!
@@sugrcookiiee They make it harder because for people who have genuine allergies it is IMPORTANT to do the extra steps to avoid cross contamination, which is why it’s important when asking for your food to SPECIFY that you just want unsalted fries so they’re fresh fries versus you want them unsalted because you can’t have salt.
For those wanting to know or trying to remember from the old days, There were two grimaces. The evil grimace type character was dark blue and often mistaken for purple. He had four arms and would steal shakes or cups. Both he and grimace are supposed to be taste buds.
Theyre the same character. They rebranded him because "The Evil Grimace" as he was originally called scared children too much lol. He was always purple though.
@@2hearts1song4ever8it was only for one year, from 1971-1972. He became the friendly happy version in 1972. So most of us know him as the same character he is today.
I’ve worked fast food and fries have a very short shelf life, usually just a few minutes. That means we’re constantly making fries and we have to throw out fries that have sat out, literally only a few minutes. You can always request fresh fries. Special requests, except in the cases of allergies or dietary restrictions, can be a big hassle for the kitchen and slow down not just you but everyone else and then no one is happy. Plus as someone mentioned, it may make some of the not so great employees become lazy or annoyed so they take special restrictions less seriously. Sucks but it’s the truth.
Current McD’s employee. The shake is berry flavored and I can confirm what another commenter said; if you want fresh fries, just ask instead of saying no salt. It throws the whole rhythm of the restaurant off if we have to stop and clean one of the fry compartments. It’s going to slow everything down and take longer to get everyone’s food. Also, please don’t be an asshole if we have to ask you to pull forward or park. You’re not only being disrespectful to the employees but equally so for the guy behind you that only has a large coke and has to wait for your 24 McChicken sandwiches. There’s a method to the madness and your stubbornness screws a lot of stuff up. That is all😂❤
Why the fry basket? I work at another fast food place that isn't McDonald's. The salt never touches the fries until they're emptied into the warmer. Curious why the basket would need to be cleaned as well
I love the Grimace shake! I’m hoping it means McDonald’s is bringing back Grimace and other characters for good (Hamburglar did appear in a commercial earlier this year) and that this Grimace shake will be an annual treat just like the Shamrock ☘️ shake and the different pies 🥧!
I thought the Grimace shake tasted more like a light blueberry flavor with a touch of vanilla. Its a shake so yeah, it's gonna be sweet, but it wasn't overpowering by any means.
It's expensive because of the shake. A value meal usually comes with a soda and is about $8-9 in my area. Shakes cost more than soda and hikes up the price.
I remember as a kid, KFC was like the premium fast food place, it was by far the most expensive. Now it's actually pretty comparable or even slightly cheaper.
@@kathymyers7279 That is never true, and never will be true. Yes groceries are expensive now, but are still cheaper than going to any restaurant. Its always less expensive to cook for yourself. You must be going to some yuppie "organic" nonsense store like Whole Foods or buying your groceries from convenience stores to think its less expensive to go to a restaurant.
I remember when I was a kid in the early 70s that McDonalds had commercials touting that you’d get change back from your dollar after ordering 2 burgers, fries and a drink.
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 They need to go back. It's hilarious that they look at that as the thing that's bad that they had to take away. Everything they make is poison, even the salads. Bring back the oil. 🤷♂️
Workers really dislike when people ask for unsalted fries because they need to clean out the fry area! I heard that it's best just to ask for fresh fries.
@@jaemeh09the last thing you want is to call an underpaid service industry worker is "lazy" 👎 don't be like that. you cant expect people to go above and beyond while earning practically nothing.
I’ve heard that if you eat the Grimace shake with McDonald’s fries, the flavor of the shake changes. (Tasting the shake before fries, it tastes like vanilla. After eating fries, it has more of a berry flavor)
Thank you for your honest reaction. I live in Australia and the Grimace shake isn't sold here. And every tasting video of someone trying the Grimace shake is just the collapsing after it meme. But nice to know that it takes like grapes and birthday cake. I can imagine that flavour.
Yall, the salt comment is not accurate. How are they going to isolate and clean thoroughly a section of the oil machine if they don’t change out the oil, the oil will still have residue or salt 🧂 from other fries and they aren’t gonna isolate your unsalted fries in fresh oil cuz that’s food costs and costs way more than your request for unsalted Fries Loll. I worked at McDonald’s for 3 years (first job) and yes it takes extra time but you can pull the customer up if the line is getting long or backed up. Stop with the bullshit.
Evil 😈 Grimace, stealing shakes, was introduced 11/1971, then 1972 became Friendly Grimace... with 🥳 Birthday 6/12🎂... he has an Irish uncle named Uncle O’Grimacey, who is green, and comes around once a year to promote the Shamrock Shakes...grandma named Winky 😉...brother 👑 Gonga who is the king of Grimace Island...I'm a nerd that went looking for useless info😂
Remember when McDonald's had birthday parties? I used to be the host for many of them back in the 80s. All the games we played, no one ever lost. It was McDonald's protocol.
For McDonald’s shakes: they regularly offer vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. And every March, the “Shamrock Shake” shows up near St. Patrick’s Day….it is vivid green mint. (Apparently, they offer 4 types of shamrock treats, now, hot and cold.)
is there a reason why the shake is "the taste of Grimace"? lol I would immediately think it's a shake that Grimace likes or something, rather than Grimace's flesh and blood being blended into a shake
"Grimace tastes fruity" Ohhh so he's like (limp wrist) that? But in all seriousness, thank you for trying this! I've been so curious about it, but I don't like grape and didn't want to waste my money if I didn't like it.
McDonald's is confusing. They retired Ronald Mcdonald as their mascot but yet celebrate the birthday of a character that hasn't been talked about in years.
If you ask for unsalted fries, you're looked at as a big dirtbag by the staff, because they have to stop everything they're doing to drop a new batch of fries, then clean out the curreny fry basket, and scoops of salt in order to serve you and only you, fries without salt. As someone who has worked food service before, I guarantee you, everyone wearing a radio groans when they hear the words "no salt". "And then you ask for a side of salt" and there you go. 😒 That is just asking for special mayo.
Thank you for doing this review! I was curious and McDonald’s website/app didn’t have any description and I didn’t wanna waste my money so thank you ☺️
Oh you need to try a Shamrock Shake around St. Patrick's day! I never go to McDonalds but once a year when they have those. I have to go get 1. I love all of your videos and think you're really gifted at describing flavors. Thanks for sharing this too!
I like the big mac with 2 quarter pounder patties instead of the small patties and an extra slice of cheese. the standard big mac has way too much bread and not enough meat or cheese.
@@richardvinsen2385 Lettuce, rehydrated dehydrated onions, ground beef, American cheese slices, pickle relish and yes, thousand island dressing. Everything but the bun. Easy sack lunch.

Can also simply ask for fries "COOK TO ORDER" they will be freshly made, and salted.
my favorite mcdonalds character.. was the robber one.
I have literally never eaten at a MacDonald's, and yet I can recite by heart the Big Mac jingle. I did, of course, watch a lot of TV as a child.
Take a shot every time Emmy says Grimace 😂
I think it’s the best shake McDonald’s has ever had. Just bought my second one this week!
Glad you tried this as you know how to describe food! Very helpful for someone with a dairy allergy and a lover of Grimace!
I really like these drive thru videos !!
Hope u do more of them
And also frozen food tasting videos , those are always fun yo watch 😊😊😊
How can you describe a Big Mac without singing the song? I must be getting old 😅
🍔🍟
I think it's blueberry/raspberry syrup mixed with the McDonald's vanilla milkshake. Like the Shamrock shake is vanilla shake with mint syrup.
I missed grimaces birthday and I do not want to miss his birthday this year
“*burp!*” :P
Grimace turned 52 this year!
Emmy I think that you should try carbonating milk or try some sort of carbonated milk product. Not that I think it would be a good idea or anything.
My friends and I all decided that you need to use the shake to chase the fries to get the full flavor.
I always ask for fresh fries and have no problem getting them fresh and salted.

I'd figure it would have just been a vanilla shake with purple food coloring. I might give it a try.
HOW DARE YOU NOT LIKE MY SHAKE watch out tonight emmy
hi grimace
I haven't had this shake yet, but I heard that it tastes like Fruity Pebbles.
The finger lake sisters! ✋🤚
The French believe that food doesn't taste properly salted unless it's salted before it's cooked. IDK.
Oh interesting! I thought the grimace shake tasted like blueberry!
Not from working McDonald's but BK. My store in particular, the manager just had us toss a serving back in the fryer to knock the salt off. It sucked.
Nice comment how are you doing
I felt it tasted like fruity pebbles when i had the shake.
Lmao "what does a grimace taste like?"
Lol why did I think the grimace shake tasted like a creamy grape.😅😂
They’re not shakes! They’re reconstituted shake powder! (According to the movie)
Grimace was what you became if you drink too many McDonalds shakes. A shapeless purple blob.
I've just realized..US big mac is WAY bigger than in Montreal
Make the viral big Mac salad Emmy
It tastes like a blueberry muffin
@emmymade, how do I become your influence. Big Mac ain't nothing but cake with beef in the middle.
A Grimace shake should really be a Taro Milkshake... it's literally purple!
I would've thought ube! Even more purple than taro!

Just don't do the fry trick if they are busy. Unless of course you are doing a low sodium thing.
For McDonald’s shakes: they regularly offer vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. And every March, the “Shamrock Shake” shows up near St. Patrick’s Day….it is vivid green mint. (Apparently, they offer 4 types of shamrock treats, now, hot and cold.)
In the original commercial for those, Grimace drank them and turned GREEN!
Shamrock shakes are amazing. Best thing at McDonald's....unfortunately they're only available during March
If you ask for your food “Cook to Order” they have to make everything fresh per McDonald’s policy. I was a McDonald’s manager lol.
I honestly thought it tasted like the amoxicillin pink liquid that kids take, with two blueberries thrown in.
id love to see how it would come out if you attempted to make one of your own!
*06:37** There you have folks. A little bit of great Fabuloso and some birthday cake flavor.* Thanks Emmy!
I thought the shake has hints of honey dew or cantaloupe within the grapeness
is there a reason why the shake is "the taste of Grimace"? lol I would immediately think it's a shake that Grimace likes or something, rather than Grimace's flesh and blood being blended into a shake
"Grimace tastes fruity"
Ohhh so he's like (limp wrist) that?
But in all seriousness, thank you for trying this! I've been so curious about it, but I don't like grape and didn't want to waste my money if I didn't like it.
McDonald's is confusing. They retired Ronald Mcdonald as their mascot but yet celebrate the birthday of a character that hasn't been talked about in years.
I think you can say either itadakimasu or kanpai. I don't know for sure, but I think you can so either.
If you ask for unsalted fries, you're looked at as a big dirtbag by the staff, because they have to stop everything they're doing to drop a new batch of fries,
then clean out the curreny fry basket, and scoops of salt in order to serve you and only you, fries without salt.
As someone who has worked food service before, I guarantee you, everyone wearing a radio groans when they hear the words "no salt".
"And then you ask for a side of salt" and there you go. 😒
That is just asking for special mayo.

Then don't eat at McDonald's.
Am I the only one creeped out that it is purple and he is purple...what do you think a kid would think??😰
I work at McDonalds. It's a mixed berry shake. In my opinion, it taste like berry Niquel that has been sweetened with milk.
Sadly, I personally didn't like it 😕
Hi Emmy 👋🏻
I was hoping it was taro flavored like some of McDonalds in the world have.
Thanks for taking the hit for us all. Now I can save my $11
Thanks for that! I was curious but didn't want to spend the money.😂
Thank you for doing this review! I was curious and McDonald’s website/app didn’t have any description and I didn’t wanna waste my money so thank you ☺️
Oh you need to try a Shamrock Shake around St. Patrick's day! I never go to McDonalds but once a year when they have those. I have to go get 1. I love all of your videos and think you're really gifted at describing flavors. Thanks for sharing this too!
I was hoping for a blooper where Emily does the tiktok trend.
I had one the other day I'm pretty convinced it's blueberry.
It's crazy here in grants pass Oregon, same meal you bought is $15.36!
I always thought grimace was a giant purple chicken nugget lol
I remember the "jail* being the hamburgler.. you would climb up a tube into a hamburger with bars round it.
15,021st attempt, Emmy more prison recipes.
love your videos Emmy. I was contemplating buying the meal solely because of the shake. it sounds like a pretty sweet treat to try once.
I miss the Shamrock shake
I like the big mac with 2 quarter pounder patties instead of the small patties and an extra slice of cheese. the standard big mac has way too much bread and not enough meat or cheese.
How the heck do you order that?!
Wow, $11.59 is waaay too expensive. Fast food is a bit of a drive so I make Big Mac salad at home which calms that craving.
What’s a Big Mac salad?
@@richardvinsen2385 prob something with thousand islands dressing
Big Mac salad was my favourite dish when I was trying out low carb diet.
@@richardvinsen2385 Lettuce, rehydrated dehydrated onions, ground beef, American cheese slices, pickle relish and yes, thousand island dressing. Everything but the bun. Easy sack lunch.
I ordered just the shake and holy diabetes in a cup!!! I like sweets but this was ridiculous, I could only have a few sips
Hello how are you doing today
