Field notes

McDonald’s sold the shake from June 12 to July 9, 2023, to mark Grimace’s 52nd birthday. A TikToker named thefrazmaz posted a video drinking the shake and cutting to himself lying on the floor as though dead, and thousands of copycat “Grimace Shake” videos followed within weeks.

At the printer

Keep the shake cup separate and swappable. Everyone wants a different collapse pose behind it.
