The Mets and Grimace connection has gotten wild with costumed fans chugging beer and Empire State Building tributes

This is getting weird.

It was just 15 days ago as of posting this that Grimace from McDonald’s threw out a first pitch at a New York Mets game.

Since then, the team has been on a tear, and the memes that the whole thing sparked are so good.

Now, it’s getting wild. We’ve got fans dressing in Grimace costumes at games, and during a pretty fierce storm at Citi Field on Wednesday, someone in one of those costumes chugged a beer as fans cheered the purple creature on.

Also, the Empire State Building went purple for Grimace’s birthday … but the social media account for the building tagged the Mets after they beat the Yankees. So it’s definitely to celebrate the Grimace and Mets connection:

McDonald’s Grimace sparking a Mets win streak has inspired some hilarious MLB memes

This is the summer of Grimace for the Mets.

Sorry, other baseball teams, but this is officially the summer of Grimace in the MLB.

The McDonald’s mascot throwing out the first pitch at a New York Mets game last week has sparked a seven-game win streak for the baseball team.

The Grimace Mets win streak is one of the most purely fun moments in sports this summer, and the memes are just as good as the streak is.

The McDonald’s Twitter (X) account has changed its profile picture to Grimace wearing a Mets hat, and the internet has fallen in love with Grimace inspiring New York to turn its season around.

Check out these great memes, and let’s all hope the streak stays alive.

McDonald’s Grimace showed Mets fans what happens when something goes right this season

Well, at least somebody at Citi Field knows how to entertain the fans.

In honor of his June 12th birthday, McDonald’s beloved purple mascot Grimace threw out the first pitch at Citi Field on Wednesday night.

The fact that a gigantic purple blob threw a baseball within the same vicinity of home plate gave the New York Mets fans in attendance some hope that at least something might go right in their ballpark this season.

Sad days fill the stands at Citi Field this season as the lowly Mets are 28-37 and fully en route to another lost season.

Nothing seems to go right for New York these days, so the McDonald’s mascot that looks like a radioactive, low-key thicc Chicken McNugget throwing a decent first pitch at Citi Field has to count for something.

Maybe the Grimace first pitch will spark some good luck for Mets fans, or maybe it’ll just inspire them to drown their sorrows with a Grimace Milkshake if their local McDonald’s will bring it back just for them.

If not, well, there’s been enough grimacing at Citi Field this season. Maybe this will make Mets fans smile for once.

McDonald’s birthday star Grimace and Western Kentucky Hilltoppers’ mascot are now friends

Well, the Grimace and Big Red are friends now.

Mascot worlds collided this week as McDonald’s the Grimace and Western Kentucky’s Big Red met at the fast food restaurant.

Big Red seemingly stopped by a McDonald’s to celebrate the Grimace’s birthday, which has inspired a purple-looking milkshake and a series of hilariously grim TikToks.

Well, the two mascots apparently became fast friends and spent the day together playing in the McDonald’s play place, throwing around the football on Western Kentucky’s football field and hanging out on WKU’s campus.

Was this just a special day between two mascots, or will these two make this a regular hangout? The world may never know, but we’re guessing the latter.

Did you need a video of the Grimace and WKU’s Big Red hanging out in your life? Well, if you did, it’s what you got.

Are you just tired of hearing about the Grimace’s McDonald’s birthday? Well, you might need to hang tight, because as long as this promotion is going on, the celebration probably won’t stop anytime soon.

Grimace Shake TikToks turn the McDonald’s purple milkshake into devastating horror movies

This is the funniest new TikTok trend thanks to the Grimace Shake.

If that sentence above feels like a Mad Libs, I get it.

Either way, you’re going to love this TikTok trend that’s popped up.

McDonald’s starting selling a gross-looking purple milkshake to celebrate the 52-year-old birthday of Grimace, the giant furry character that’s a … well, we’re not sure what it is.

But as we’ve seen with other TikTok trends, people have transformed drinking the purple stuff into a horror movie: They drink the milkshake, wish Grimace a happy birthday … and suddenly some bad stuff starts to go down, eventually ending with people covered in purple goo and being dragged off to the woods or something.

It’s wild:
