What’s new? Elon Musk posted on Twitter that he will “eat a happy meal on tv if McDonald's accepts Dogecoin.” The fast-food chain replied that it will only introduce support for DOGE after Tesla accepts “Grimacecoin.”

What followed McDonald's response? The name of the coined cryptocurrency was inspired by Grimace, a purple anthropomorphic creature that appeared in Mcdonald's advertisements.
Just minutes after the tweet, one of the Binance Smart Chain users created a “Grimacecoin” token. The coin pumped over 261 000% within hours before losing almost all of its profits.
