So let me get this straight: you submitted one of those videos that was going to inevitably make it's way here anyway, but you're too lazy to give it tags. So if someone wanted to submit a version with tags it would be a dupe and be deleted. Fantastic.
I'm less interested in what Grimace is and more interested in how you and your school chums came to the conclusion that the McDonaldland characters are food. Forget the fry kids for a second. We've got: A giant bird, a clown, a professional thief, and a big purple milkshake.
He was created to sell milkshakes. His original H.R.Pufnstuf-esque persona tried to steal them from Ronald. But fortunately like Chris, he went from evil to stupid over time.
Oh, and everybody except Ronald no longer appear in McDonaldland commercials. I'M LOVING IT!!!
