McDonald’s New Purple Milkshake Disappoints Manchester Customers
The highly anticipated Grimace Shake from McDonald’s has finally made its way to the UK, causing a stir on social media. People across Manchester have been eager to try this rare purple treat, which has been creating a buzz online. One eager customer, Andrew Nuttall, decided to give it a go during his lunch break. However, his excitement quickly turned to frustration when he arrived at his local McDonald’s to find that the milkshake machine was out of order. After a 10-minute drive to another branch, Nuttall finally got his hands on the elusive shake.
The Grimace Shake, named after the lovable purple McDonald’s character, comes in two sizes and is priced slightly higher than the standard milkshakes at £2.69 for a medium and £2.99 for a large. Despite the online hype surrounding the shake, Nuttall found himself underwhelmed by the flavour. He described it as just a blueberry milkshake and not worth the effort it took to acquire it. While some may enjoy it as a one-off treat, Nuttall was left feeling unimpressed and unlikely to queue for it again.
The Grimace character, known for his love of milkshakes, has been a part of the McDonald’s franchise for decades. The Grimace Shake, which is only available for a limited time, is set to disappear from the menu on September 3. However, availability may vary depending on the operational status of the milkshake machine at each location. Despite the excitement surrounding the purple shake, Nuttall was left feeling that it didn’t quite live up to the hype.
As fans across Manchester flock to try the Grimace Shake before it’s gone, Nuttall’s experience serves as a reminder that not all new menu items live up to expectations. While some may enjoy the novelty of the purple drink, others may find it lacking in flavour and not worth the wait. Whether the Grimace Shake will leave a lasting impression on McDonald’s customers remains to be seen, but for now, it seems that this purple milkshake may not be as magical as it appears on social media.
