Recently, McDonald's had another exciting release: a Grimace-inspired meal for the character's birthday.

It includes a limited-edition purple shake to match the purple monster mascot, the choice of a 10-piece Chicken McNugget or a Big Mac, and fries.

The shake is expected to be a vanilla soft serve with berry flavors. Based on Parade's review of Grimace's birthday meal, most report that blueberry is the main flavor of the drink.
