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.

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.
