LOL I think that they stopped advertising them so much because the Happy Meals became such a big deal. Many of the toys we have (I work there as a manager) are advertised out the yang, advertising the McDonald's characters at the same time would be competition. I imagine they get compensated for it though.

They still have them, just dont promote them like they used to.

Ronald McDonald
Hamburgular
Grimace
The Pig-Tailed Girls
Chicken Nuggets
French Fries

Basically about it.

You know, like Taco Bell had the Chiwawa (can't spell it), and Burgwer King used to have the kids in the Kids Club back in the 80s-late 90s, and Taco Bell had their Kids Meal cat and Dog characters.

During the 80s and 90s, these characters really became a big deal when it came to fast food industry, particualry for kids. Now their finding the cheapest, lamest form of promotion possible.

Actually before 2000, they were giving away a book with all the MCD characters in it. Can't remember what I did with it though.

Grimace sadly died of a massive heart attack. Officer Big Mac was video taped beating the Hambuglar during an arrest and was fired. Hambuglar is doing a dime at San Quentin for theft. No one knows what happened to the Fry Guys. Birdie was caught smuggling secrets to Burger King and was turned into a 6 piece Mc Nugget meal. And Mayor Mc Cheese lost his seat because of a bribe offered to him by a Tea Party member

I love those characters. I remember hamburgler, grimace, birdie, the fry kids and those little chicken mcnuggets. they disappeared in the early 90s because they were replaced with the new era of cartoons.

I see them occasionally.
Grimace is the purple "thing"

I even remember Mayor McCheese (man with a cheeseburger for a head and wore a sash) and Big Mac (a cop, his head was shaped like a Big Mac) from the 70s.

They can't advertise to children.Mcdonald's has over 8,000 private playlands.The arches are now more recognizable more than the christian cross.Many children can recognize the arches bfore they know their own name.
