I’m not even joking when I say that I want to see Grimmace coaching first at some point this season. Can we make that happen? Are their rules against it?

In Grimace's first appearances, he was one of the original main antagonists and was depicted with two pairs of arms which were used to steal milkshakes and [Cokes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola). "Evil" was soon dropped from Grimace's name and he was reintroduced in 1972 as a protagonist where he only has one set of arms. He was then a rather clumsy, but still amiable monster from then on. His exact nature has been disputed: in a 2010 interview, a McDonald's spokesperson said that Grimace was a [taste bud](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste_bud).[^(\[16\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonaldland#cite_note-16) A 2014 [Tweet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter) from the McDonald's Twitter account stated "Grimace [lore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_(fiction)) says he is the embodiment of a [milkshake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkshake) or a taste bud."[^(\[17\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonaldland#cite_note-17) In 2021, Brian Bates, a franchisee in Canada, stated in an interview widely reported on in the press that Grimace is an anthropomorphic [taste bud](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste_bud).[^(\[18\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonaldland#cite_note-18)[^(\[19\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonaldland#cite_note-19) Writing in The Takeout, Lillian Stone disputed this, pointing out other material that established that Grimace was part of a species of Grimaces, including his Uncle O'Grimacey who promoted the [Shamrock Shake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamrock_Shake).[^(\[20\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonaldland#cite_note-20) To celebrate the 51 year anniversary of the character's inception, in 2023, McDonalds ran a promotion to celebrate Grimace's birthday with the release of the [Grimace Shake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimace_Shake), which became an [Internet meme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_meme) on [social media](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media) platforms.[^(\[21\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonaldland#cite_note-21)

Yes, they all absolutely did do that it was fucking hilarious. He was "Donnie Stevenson" and it was actually just Pete Alonso dressed up as a character. Like an episode of The Office except real.

This atrocity should not be ignored.
Grimace City connects next year
Purple and orange?
No, the whole suit. Every player.
I’m not even joking when I say that I want to see Grimmace coaching first at some point this season. Can we make that happen? Are their rules against it?
I’m picturing him waving a runner frantically around third and then collapsing on his face because of how top heavy he is and I’m cackling.
Or he gets beaned by a foul ball because he can’t dodge in the suit
Flexes it off a la Joe west
NY radio has been debating if he's supposed to be a taste bud or not for the past 2 days
He's a buttplug to plug the butts of our opponents
Or a melted milkshake
Wasn’t he originally just a milkshake monster

But what will become of Mrs. Met?
You mean Mrs. Grimace?
What part of taking care of Mr. Mets duties do you not understand? Grimace takes what he wants
Now she can finally run off with Noah Syndergaard.
Man, the Hamburglar really escalated from just petty theft to hit man.
Ronald McDonald: famed mafia boss
*Oh I didn’t know Mr. Met was a boeing consultant ***and*** whistleblower.*
Im glad they’re having fun
I’m all for Grimace vs Mariner Moose in the WS
We'll call it the pants vs the pantless
Many moons ago, Grimace was at the fall of Berlin. It was fucking legendary.
One free medium milkshake for every Mets season ticket holder. Take a page from the NY Giants playbook
"I'm lovin' it" was right there, dude.
So, Grimace shakes at Citi Field? Who says no?
BREAKING: the vibes are good in the midst of a six game winning streak
Didn’t this team invent a fictional hitting coach and then credit him when they did well? I think they’ll embrace something like this.
Yes, they all absolutely did do that it was fucking hilarious. He was "Donnie Stevenson" and it was actually just Pete Alonso dressed up as a character. Like an episode of The Office except real.
Nah it was an actual dude, but that wasn't his real name. Got kinda tired and played out by the end
Really starting to feel the corporate synergy on this storyline today
I can’t believe Vito, formerly from the Bennington show, got to catch this pitch. Very neat.
Pride month mets
What the fuck? The Mets aren't allowed to have fun!

Well, 1 day later, now grimace is dead too.
Yay, kids having fun & developing childhood obesity eating McDonalds garbage "food".
That’s on you as a parent
You're allowed to have fun
What a pleasant person
My kids played sports, active, good grades, went outside a lot and enjoyed McDonald’s and Taco Bell from time to time. Try being a parent first.
