McDonald’s customers are unveiling what the character’s grimace really is

Everyone who has seen the Clerks the cartoon knows, nothing can kill Ganyota. But what exactly is the creature? It’s one of the longest-running mysteries in the strange tradition of McDonaldland characters. The two most common rumors are that he is a “smoothie monster” or a giant palate. The latter appears to have the support of at least one McDonald’s manager, and after he put it into practice, the Internet has taken it as something that can be worried, debated and discredited. McDonald’s has kept a great deal of silence about it, as they tend to like mystery and sometimes only answer the question of what it is with “He’s a Grimace”.

According to the McDonald’s Wiki, Grimace is “a large, purple anthropomorphic being of indeterminate species with short arms and legs. He is known for his slow-witted behavior. His most common expression is the word” duh “before each sentence. “.

McDonald’s manager Brian Bates of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, said in a recent interview that Grimace “is a huge taste bud, but a taste bud.”

The character has only been portrayed by a handful of people: two in the costume (officially) and three more as a voice. Frank Welker and sometimes Larry Moran voiced Grimace in the commercials and Kevin Michael Richardson in the VHS series “The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald.” He was portrayed by Patti Saunders from 1971 to 1984 and Terry Castillo from 1984 to 2003.
