McDonald’s Finland has introduced the new Grey Licorice Shake for a limited time. It is a shake flavoured with licorice and it has caught people’s attention on account of its grey colour which looks nothing like any other shakes they have ever seen.

The other exciting shake on offers right now is called Monster Freak Shake which has Monster Freak sauce, Monster flavoured syrup, whipped cream and Oreo crumble. According to Brand Eating, this shake is inspired by Sesame Street's Cookie Monster.
