McDonald's own web site gives a brief insight into Grimace. They state, “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.”
The majority of McDonald's characters more or less directly represent a food product sold at the restaurants. It remains unclear what, if any, food product Grimace is supposed to represent. It is often suggested that he represents a spilt milkshake.

Okay. you got my curiousity. I had to look it up myself.
Intresting. I'm going to star this question.
In the first campaign 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 by two. Today, Grimace is generally portrayed in McDonald's commercials and merchandise as a well-meaning simpleton, whose clumsy antics provide a comic foil to Ronald McDonald.

Grimace is a large, purple anthropomorphic being of indeterminate species with short arms and legs. He is known for his slow-witted demeanor. His most common expression is the word "duh". Originally, 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 by two. Commercials and merchandise generally portrayed him as a well-meaning simpleton, whose clumsy antics provided a comic foil to Ronald McDonald. The character was retained after the streamlining of the characters in the '80s. Voiced by Frank Welker.

barney's old pal gone bad.
same thing w/ smokey bear. died of nicotine indulgence or the like. i mean, seriuosly, is this purple dinosaur who's been w/ the wrong crowd for so long who we want this generation of kids to be inspired to make paper airplanes for mothers day by? if i had kids... strictly "I'm a map i'm a map i'm a map i'm a maaappp" (dora: map song) b/c definitely there must be some past barney's holding back from the rest of the world. isn't everybody?
wait..., grimace is the guy w/ the raccoon mask thingy right? if not, that would totally throw off this answer.

It is often suggested that he represents a spilt milkshake. Grimace's "official" role, according to McDonald's, continues to be representative of the chain's milkshakes.

I love Grimace!
Although I never understood why his name was Grimace, since he was always so cheerful.
30 years later - the word grimace still catches me off guard.
