Has anyone tried the Grimace Shake at McDonalds? Is it any good?

I’ve had it. I liked it well enough. Taste like Grimace(turns out Grimace tastes of berries).

I tried to order one from the local McDonalds through GrubHub. Apparently they were out and made the unilateral decision to substitute it with a Coke, without asking or notifying me. I didn't find out until the deliveryman arrived. I deemed this an unacceptable substitution and contacted GrubHub requesting a refund. After a half hour the McDonalds finally agreed to give me a refund... of $2. I pointed out that was inadequate and even with the refund I would still be paying more then if I had bought the meal with the Coke in the first place. After a further half hour of haggling with McDonalds they finally agreed to give me a refund of $5.50. I accepted it as the best I could get, but it was probably still not enough for cold fries, overcooked McNuggets, and a Coke with no straw (cause God forbid they give me a straw with the soda I didn't order).

And yet the choice of Coke makes sense, with regards to referencing Grimace... As for the shake itself, it reminds me vaguely of the Shamrock Shake: mostly vanilla with a hint of another flavor. Still prefer Sonic and now Five Guys after I learned the latter can mix chunks of Oreo cream in their shakes. P.S. McDonald's are cowards for retconning Grimace's life and leaving out the Evil Grimace.

I tasted it and it does taste like blueberries, which is not bad.

McDonald's is a big enough gamble when you eat right after ordering, I can't imagine any circumstance I'd have it delivered. This isn't a McDonald's sucks, who eats it??? post. I like it. McDonald's is how I gamble. Maybe you'll get piping hot fries and a cold burger. Or a nice fresh burger and fries made back during the Nixon Administration. Maybe you'll get everything fresh. You never know! That's should be their slogan. You Never Know!

After a very long, feverish day of very bad sleep due to a mix of insomnia, uncontrollable chills and fever dreams, mixed with me avoiding eating because of a bad sore throat, general nausea and lack of appetite, it was now 2AM, I was both wide awake and dead tired at the same time and, most importantly, I was really hungry. Leaving my apartment was not an option (I doubt I could've made it to my buildings elevator) and the only place I could find on GrubHub that was open, delivering, and not charging a nearly $10 delivery fee was McDonalds. Now maybe a Grimace shake was not the best of choices under those circumstances, but I was still curious.

Tip on how to always get hot fries at McDonalds. Order them with no salt. They will have to make a fresh batch to do this. Then just add salt once you get them.
Unless yall's McDonalds are like the one in town where to get straws,napkins,salt or ketchup you have to ask for it. Thanks for bringing my food to the table why isnt there salt and ketchup on the try since I ordered large fries?

Get them without pickles so they always have to make them fresh for you.

I've had it. Couldn't really place the taste but I guess blueberries is close. Wasn't terrible, not great. Probably get it one or two more times since it is limited edition. But if it was regular I probably wouldn't go out of way to get it

They slap "new" on anything and I gotta have it.

I had one of these on the drive home .
The shake does not justify the price of the meal. $12.
There's better shakes out there obviously, but I had to satisfy my curiosity I guess.
If you want a great shake from McDonald's, just wait until they bring the Shamrock Shake back.

Had it, thought it was good, it did in fact taste like Blueberries or like Fruity Pebble aesthetic.

I don't get the whole "Death" meme going on around it. I think maybe the joke is that, by drinking it, it summons Grimace to kill you, like some sort of "SCP" or Slenderman deal, but maybe the joke is that the drink itself is killing you. Some of the teenagers at work seem very entertained by the idea and have bought it, so I guess the meme is taking some sort of effect. I haven't tried it, myself, but I just do not go to McDonalds much.

I briefly worked in Maccies in my teens. My manager warned me on day one of people trying to pull this. We were told to just say they weren't avaliable without salt. We were onto your hustle 15 years ago bucko! Side note, I feel sorry for this new generation of young mcwarriors. Since they brought in those touch screens as well as ubereats/doordash etc, the amount of orders incoming has over tripled.
