ok.... what the hell is grimace?

once and for all i want to find out what that purple ooze from the mcdonalds commercials actually represents, besides a malicious hoodlem that steals beverages from kids.

my friends and i are stumped... we've asked the people at mcdonalds, and they don't even know. some say he represents shakes, or the blueberry pie filling, but i don't think so.

this site gives a pretty funny rendition of grimace: (a little down the page)

so... what do you think??

I dont think anyone really knows what he is. I do think that he got his name when he stepped on Ronalds foot, And that was his reaction(to grimace)

I believe he is the result of eating at fast food places, too often..
Like you said, he is so addicted, he has to steal..

I think he used to be a gymnast..

Gay power?


Well, it worked for the purple tella-tubbie.

He's what a Big Mac does to your stomach....

I don't think he ever was really supposed to be something. However, in the beginning Grimace had 6 arms, so I have heard that he was supposed to be an octopus.

The link below has a vintage advertisement with Grimace having six arms.

Apparently, Grimace is a giant cloned beetroot.
