"Our fans have amazing childhood memories of their birthdays at McDonald's...and Grimace's Birthday is all about paying homage to the amazing, fun moments we all share," said Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald's USA. "We're excited to put a modern spin on these memories to continue to drive McDonald's relevance with a new generation. Grimace is the perfect lovable icon to have McDonald's meet our fans at the intersection of nostalgia and culture."
Grimace fans will be excited to learn that McDonald's has also decided to release a little more information about the silent purple giant. He grew up on Grimace Island and has a huge family who are not named Grimace. There's Grandma Winky, aunts Millie and Tillie, and his Uncle O'Grimacey, who is, perhaps unsurprisingly, green instead of purple. Uncle O'Grimacey is also a fan of shakes like his super chill nephew, although he presumably favors a Shamrock Shake in March.
Birthday festivities for Grimace kick off on June 12, and fans can do more than just down a purple shake in his honor. There's a ton of Grimace merch like tees and socks coming to buy online, and on June 13 and 14, fans can head to McDonald's Instagram page to share their own favorite birthday memory with an "Add Yours" button. The company will donate $5 to Ronald McDonald House Charities for every photo shared.

Grimace is finally getting his moment to shine. I wonder how the Hamburglar feels about it.
