McDonald's had its own ragtag group of characters. Imagine Sesame street… just replace the sunny days with boiling hot deep fryers.
That’s right the mascots we all know and love Ronald McDonald and his cohorts Mayor McCheese, the Hamburglar, Grimace, Birdie the Early Bird, and The Fry Kids. Actually, now that I think about it… we might not ALL know and love them.
As a McDonald’s consumer, for the most part, you pretty much only had a window between the 1970s and the early 2000s to get to know these characters put out by the fast-food chain. In your McFace Gen-Z!
These characters are vaguely familiar in many Americans' minds whether they are familiar with the character’s personalities or just familiar with the character's appearance.
One character, in particular, has been brought back to the forefront because of their “uniqueness.” That character being Grimace, the purple blob that always has a smile on its face.
Well recently Brian Bates, dubbed the "Outstanding Manager of the Year" for his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic by McDonald's has blessed the world with the answer to the question we’ve all wanted to know for millennia, What the hell is Grimace???
Well, it turns out after all these years he has been an enlarged ‘Taste Bud,’ according to Bates. You’re Welcome.
