Grimace Shake
McDonald’s introduced the Grimace shake as a tribute to their beloved mascot, and surprisingly sparked a bizarre TikTok trend, which saw the platform’s users filming horror-themed videos featuring this quirky purple drink.
Barbie Shake
Building on the Grimace shake craze, TikTok users embraced the “Barbie shake” trend, which involved Cold Stone Creamery’s Barbie shake… minus the horror.

Jam Water Mocktails
TikTok users also enjoyed mixing up jam water mocktails this summer, using nothing but two simple ingredients –a lime La Croix and raspberry lychee jam.
Three Drinks Theory
After going viral on Twitter, the “three drinks theory” became a true sensation on TikTok this summer. The main idea behind it is to consume three drinks at once – one for hydration, one for energy, and one for fun.
