Have you ever wondered what exactly is Grimace?
The purple McDonald's Mascot hangs out with Ronald, Mayor McCheese, the Hamburglar, Birdie the Early Bird and The Fry Kids and has been a mystery of what they really are, until now.
A McDonald's manager in Canada Brian Bates, revealed that Grimace is supposed to represent a taste bud. EXCUSE ME?? That can't be real.
In the past, McDonald's has implied that Grimace is identity is a fluid and it could also embody a milkshake, or a blob... but they didn't deny it could be a tastebud either.
A spokesperson for McDonald's said, quote, "Whether he's a taste bud, a milkshake or just your favorite purple blob — the best part about Grimace is that he means different things to different people. Whatever he is, we're just proud our bestie makes people happy."
