He's called GRIMACE. and he represents what someone will eventually look like if they eat a steady diet of sh*t food like Mcdonalds.

In the first cycle of McDonaldland commercials beginning in 1971, Grimace was the "Evil Grimace", with two pairs of arms with which to steal milkshakes. After that first campaign, the character was revised to be one of the "good guys", and his number of arms was reduced to two.

Today, Grimace is generally portrayed in McDonalds' commercials and merchandise as a sort of well-meaning doofus, whose clumsy antics provide a comic foil to the more serious and mature Ronald McDonald.

Grimace is a fantasy character, and not intended to be anything specific. However, ever since the character's introduction there has been much speculation (though much of it tongue-in-cheek) about his appearance. Because the majority of McDonald's characters more or less directly represent a food product sold at the restaurants (e.g., Mayor McCheese, Fry Guys, McNugget Buddies, etc.) many have naturally tried to guess as to what, if any, food product Grimace is supposed to represent. It is often suggested that he represents the contents of a milkshake. It has more recently been suspected that Grimace may actually be a taste bud, seeing as everything relates directly to food and that the association with a taste bud being Ronald's best friend would be an idealogical relationship.

Grimace is a big, loving, fuzzy purple fellow who is Ronald McDonald's best friend. He's sure Ronald is the world's ultimate authority on everything. While Grimace loves all McDonald's foods, he's absolutely crazy about milkshakes. Grimace is very enthusiastic and eager to try new things. His joyous spirit helps everyone overlook the fact he's a little slow and clumsy sometimes.”

Grimace
According to the McDonald's website:
“ Grimace is a big, loving, fuzzy purple fellow who is Ronald McDonald's best friend. He's sure Ronald is the world's ultimate authority on everything. While Grimace loves all McDonald's foods, he's absolutely crazy about milkshakes. Grimace is very enthusiastic and eager to try new things.

Originally Grimace was evil and known as The Evil Grimace. He also had four arms at that time. Not long after his creation, they made him a good guy and gave him only two arms. He was created in the early 70s around the same time as Mayor McCheese, Big Mac, Hamburgaler, The Professor, and of course that crappy pirate. None of them are around anymore, sometimes the Fry Guys (who were originally called Goblins), The Hamburgagler (who used to be a middle aged creppy looking man), and Birdie show up. Grimace also had an Irish uncle that would pop up occasionally, usually around St. Patty's day.

even as those characters were first presented back in the 70's, they were inspired by the Sid and Marty Kroft characters on Saturday morning youthful babies programming. The Kroft crew quite took McDonalds' to court docket over this. each and each McDonald's personality became meant to characterize a nutrition merchandise on the menu. The Grimace became meant to characterize milk shakes. The Grimace might want to be stated to be the Milk Shake Monster!

My friend works for McDonald's and is an authority on this specific subject. He says the Grimace is just a large pile of purple crud to impress the children. I mean if you were a kid wouldn't a big pile of purple fungus with eyes make you want to eat.
