He also discussed how he first came up with the idea of the bizarre trend. The Grimace shake trend has taken the internet\u2019s storm, much to McDonalds workers\u2019 dismay. The trend includes TikTokers taking a sip of their Grimace Shake and then finding themselves on the floor. Typically, they\u2019re surrounded by a crime scene, as if the drink has poisoned them. But where did the trend start? TikToker Fraz (@thefrazmaz) posted a video on June 14 which now has over 3.2 million views, where he wished Grimace a happy birthday and then pretended to have died after trying the drink, as the last clip showed him lying on the floor with the shake all over his mouth and on the floor. For the caption he jokingly wrote: \u201cR.I.P Grimace (and me) Fraz reveals the inspiration for the Grimace Shake trend As the trend has been making rounds on TikTok, Fraz posts another video explaining how he was inspired to create the video which now has over 10m views. \u201cWhat does this trend mean? Is the shake bad? What\u2019s going on?\u201d Fraz asked. \u201cSince I am the original \u2018victim\u2019 of Grimace, it\u2019s quite literally just a meme.\u201d \u201cWhen I decided to make this video, I was thinking, \u2018Oh this is like the Spider-Verse burger,\u2019 it\u2019s an unnatural color, it\u2019s unique.\u201d He added: \u201cAnd I saw a guy do it with the burger where he took a bite and the next scene was him in the hospital. So I was like, let\u2019s do something similar. \u201cIt\u2019s just supposed to be a meme about, it\u2019s a really weird color, it means it\u2019s not good you, Grimace is collecting victims\u2026 It\u2019s just funny, ya know.\u201d Fraz further explained in the caption: \u201cI originally made it for a quick, funny, one-off video, and a lot of people jumped on board which honestly made it so much funnier.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grimace Shake trend inventor breaks silence as it\u2019s taken over the internet thefrazmaz\/TikTokThe inventor of the controversial Grimace Shake trend on TikTok has opened up about his video going viral.
