What is Grimace[The purple Mascot in McDonalds] suppose to be ?
Grimace (a.k.a. “The Grimace”) is a fictional character who is part of the marketing campaign of McDonald’s. He is a friend of Ronald McDonald and a large, jolly fellow who looks like a large purple gumdrop with small arms and legs. He is known for his smiling face and simple demeanor. In the first cycle of McDonaldland commercials beginning in 1971, Grimace was the “Evil Grimace”, with several pairs of arms with which to steal Triple-Thick Shakes. After that first campaign, the character was revised to be one of the “good guys”, and his number of arms was reduced to two. Today, Grimace is generally portrayed in McDonalds’ commercials and merchandise as a sort of well-meaning doofus, whose clumsy antics provide a comic foil to the more serious and mature Ronald McDonald. Grimace is a fantasy character, and not intended to be anything specific. However, ever since the character’s introduction there has been much speculation (though much of it tongue-in-cheek) about his appearance. Becau
