Grimace has taken Mr. Met out back with a crowbar.
Long live our lord and savior!
Praise be 🙏
Dystopian New York, ruled by Grimace. McDonald’s stock currently at an all time high btw.
has a corporation ever accidentally stumbled into such a flourishing advertisting campaign before?
I want free nuggets out of this McDonald’s where is the Mets free nuggets promotion
All hail our dark purple master.
What a stroke of luck for McDicks
You can’t buy this sort of advertising (apart from the giant Grimace billboard obviously)
Dread it, run from it. The Grimace comes for all 💜
Baseball is so fucking weird, I love it so much.
I still can’t believe my team got eliminated by the McDonald’s marketing department
It’s 2025. The Mets have replaced their sleeve ad sponsor with McDonald’s and Mr. Met with Grimace. Mrs. Met is still there, but now there’s a couple of ball shaped purple mascots coming out with them. From the nosebleeds, Mr. Met can be seen looking disheveled and holding a sign that says “I knew it wasn’t just milkshakes he was giving you.”

Get ‘em baseball-head!
If the Mets win it all, they better put replica rings in Happ Meals. And the real rings better have one purple stone in them.
Well first off, through Grimace, anything is possible so jot that down
Today I learned that Grimace “was conceived as the physical manifestation of a milkshake headache”
It just changed to a black screen that says:
“0/1000000 Big Macs consumed
Time remaining 8:45
Fate is in your hands”
Edit: Oh god, it’s counting up, we’re at 1211 right now. The timer is ticking down too.
Mets fans would UNIRONICALLY welcome a sponsored Grimace patch 😂 These are certainly times.
The coolest thing about the Mets potentially winning the World Series is that they’d have to put Grimace on the championship ring.
Minnesota Vikings are 5-0 and Grimace is taking over baseball.
We are midst a Purple Revolution.
I should find this cringey by now (I thought the Summer Sausage stuff got old real quick) but for some reason I still love the Grimace content. Even with McDonalds leaning into it.
genuinely curious if mcdonald’s ends up seeing a significant spike from all of this. like i get that it’s a mcdonald’s madcot we’re using but i can’t imagine there’s that many people buying mcdonald’s because of the grimace era mets that wouldn’t otherwise be eating there.
NOBODY STOPS THE GRIMACE
The Dark Purple Knight will protect Gotham.
I have changed my name to Ofgrimace. My husband has asked for a divorce.
Im OOTL.
Can someone explain how Grimace, a McDonalds character from the 1970s, got associated with the Mets and their success?
Grimace is both the hero Gotham deserves AND the one it needs right now. LFGM.
it was always grimace.
I’m scared boss
^^^Popeye’s ^^^just ^^^happy ^^^to ^^^be ^^^here.
🤞 this means official Grimace merch.
Like I’m not sure of all of the legal stuff that goes into merchandising but Mets fans would have bought a crazy amount of Grimace merch this season. I know I would have.
Just look at all of the bootleg Grimace merch, the Amazon Grimace costumes in the stands and all of the “OMG” signs/merch. Fans are LOVING this ride. The fact that the massive team store at Citi Field didn’t sell a Grimace shirt was a huge misfire.
