This Grimace, this glob of... um...

Purple, rotund and always with a grand flashing smile across his dial. Grimace (Shaky to the Brazilians) is one of the few remaining mascots of McDonald's to survive the various culls and cutbacks over the years. Uncle O'Grimacey, Mayor McCheese, Mac Tonight, Big Mac, when was the last time they were around?

Back onto the purple blob of glob, Grimace, Ronald McDonald's best pally pal in the whole wide world. But what is he exactly? It's the question of the ages.

Milkshake - which in that case would make it a rather sickly looking concoction of cream, milk and eggplant. Or whatever it is that makes the food purple but not blue in hue.

Taste bud - a massive sweet-licking representation of the taste sensation that supposedly comes from Big Red. At a time before the health conscious set in with wraps, salads and lower-fat fries.

Stool - classic rebellion of the other mascot line, instead of looking or resembling the kind of things that people would eat, a visage/symbol of the kind of thing to pass. Most suspect is what would leave such a coloured dollop.

Whatever he is, from the longevity his actual being, looks like nothing can kill The Grimace.

(Do you think he's a pickle that's gone a little too long on the shelf?)
