A new milkshake inspired by McDonald’s mascot Grimace has taken the internet by storm after inspiring a new TikTok trend. The limited-edition milkshake is part of the new Grimace Birthday meal that was rolled out in the US this month to mark the 52nd anniversary of the character’s introduction. Who is Grimace and what is in his viral milkshake? Grimace is a purple character first revealed by McDonald’s on 12 June 1972 when he appeared in an advert where he was known as “Evil Grimace” after running off with milkshakes. In 2012, Roy T. Bergold Jr., the company’s previous vice president of advertising, described Grimace as “a soft, plush, two-armed blob of a sweetheart”. McDonald's explained: “Grimace is from Grimace Island and comes from a huge family (including his Grandma Winky, aunts Millie and Tillie and his Uncle O’Grimacey!).” Since he stopped appearing in adverts in 2003, the grinning purple blob began fading into obscurity, aside from the odd Thanksgiving parade appearance or Twitter mention.

The Grimace milkshake is a purple limited edition berry-flavoured drink, “inspired by Grimace’s iconic colour and sweetness”, according to McDonald’s. It contains berry flavouring, vanilla soft serve and whipped cream. It is available with the Grimace Birthday Meal, available in the US, where customers can choose either a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets with fries. The limited-edition shake is available only “while supplies last”. Have your say in our news democracy.

An OnlyFans model has opened up about the abuse she received after posting about her new car online. Australian star Laura Lux shared a screenshot of an unhinged response she got when she posted about her car in a Subreddit about Audis. She explained: “Posted about my car in the Audi subreddit and men are being extremely Normal and Chill about it lmao.” In the long written response comprising six separate paragraphs, the person said that they “despise” Lux and called her “disgusting”. The since-deleted comment read: “Your looks will fade, and you will be left alone when your boyfriend finds skmeone [sic] younger/with better morals than you once of [sic] cash dries out.” It continued: “You should be driving a (Renault) Clio. That’s what you deserve. I despise all that you are. Disgusting. I truly hope your life gets back on track.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter In another tweet, Lux wrote: “It’s so funny dude like you can’t even be offended by this because it’s so completely unhinged.” Another user asked: “How many podcasts does it take to get this angry at a woman posting pictures of their car?” Someone else agreed: “This is wild!!!!! Imagine having so much hatred and misery inside yourself? I just do not understand behaviour like this? Seek help u f***ing fruit loop, sir!” “Dude was def sweaty/trembling/veins popping/blood pressure rising/self-loathing when he typed out this f***ing novel,” another suggested.
