can you guys enlighten me with your "august and highly orthodox opinion[s]"? what the hell is grimace?
Dearth
I have heard of two theories.

Absurd Theory #1.
Grimace is an inverted grape-flavored sundae, but not a mascot for sundaes, since never in the history of McDonalds have they ever served grape-flavored sundaes. Ever.

Absurd Theory #2.
Grimace was originally a six-legged purple spider, but children were scared of spiders, so they cut off two of his appendages.

kamote yang si grimace.. o kaya ube..

pero sa mas seryosong sagot, tinanong namin to dati sa isang manager ng mcdo.. sabi nya, yung mga characters naman daw ng mcdo, di talaga nagrerepresent ng pagkain.. yung magnanakaw, nagkataon lang talagang mahilig sa burgers.. pero yung manok, hindi naman siya fried e, so ibig sabihin non, di nya nirerepresent yung fried chicken.. isang character lang si grimace na tulad ni ronald..

pero ang labo e no? ibig sabihin ng "grimace" e scrowl, o frown.. pero si grimace parating nakangiti.. ang laki pa ng ngiti nya..
Kryptonite
Tinanong namin yung cashier ng mcdo dati. Sabi nya tastebud daw si grimace. :eek: Nge. Ba't violet? Cancerous tastebud biggrin.gif

Grimace is a milkshake.

'Grimace the milkshake' sabi nga dun sa placemat sa tray biggrin.gif

my sister said extra rice daw?! hehehehe...

i heard nga that grimace daw is actually a taste bud...

Grimace is some capitalist-designed persona created to inspire one thing: curiosity. Curiosity that leads to discussions on what this unusual, purple, odd-shaped character is (milkshake, tastebud, extra rice, etc.). This leads to the desire to see more of Grimace, and therefore, to want to acquire him more, leading to more revenues for McDonald's.

Furthermore, Grimace was made visually unusual-looking, and yet strangely pleasant, such that children (a large part of the market) would find some sort of resonance with the cuddly stuffed toys that a child is wont to possess.

From a slightly crazier point of view, Grimace is named such and looks such because he is designed to send some sort of subliminal message to us customers.

Whatever he is, one aspect of him is clear: Grimace is a tool used by McDonald's to make us buy their food.

uhmm... he's a classified proto-type of Barney that went out on public by accident. to cover it up US agents asked McDonald's to make Grimace one of its official mascots.
Kidding aside... I read from an article that Grimace is a representation of all the children's hidden dark side. McDonald's have aired several commercial ads in the US late in the 80s with Grimace on it. In the ad, Grimace usually makes a lot of trouble and Ronald straighten out things for him[/her?].
Gridlock
Ganito lang yan. The theory I've stuck with the most is this:

Pag pupunta ka ng McDo, kakain ka dapat ng fries, chicken, burger, spaghetti, drinks [iinumin mo syempre, di mo kakainin!], sundae, at lahat-lahat na pwedeng i-offer ng McDo. After that, give it a few hours and you will need to run for the nearest *AHEM* and then sit down, and GRIMACE!!! In other words, si Grimace ay isang biproduct, a result of eating from McDo. tongue.gif

Makes sense to me. :cool:
But the latest theory is that Grimace was a mangosteen sundae na phased-out na. ULOL!!! :eek:

Comments about the biproduct theory? biggrin.gif
cnight
kinda gross, but makes sense.
Ali
Mangosteen Shake!

Grape Sundae!

Ube McFlurry!

Come to think of it, masarap siguro talaga ang Ube McFlurry...

Regarding Grimace, talaga namang may pagka-absurdo ang ilan sa mga mascot ng MickeyDee's. Si Birdy, hindi naman siya manok, eh. Tapos yung mga French Fry Guys. Ano sila? Mutant Wig? Psychotic Mops from Jupiter?

On a different note, hindi ba kayo nandidiri sa buhok ni Hetty Spaghetti of Jollibee? Pasta na nga ang buhok niya, may sauce pa!

Speaking of spaghetti, dati, feel ko lang manggago sa McDo sa tapat ng NYU. Here's the scenario:

Ali: (with fake California twang) Hi! I'd like a Big Mac, Large Fries, a Chicken Caesar Salad Shaker, and a Large Raspberry Iced Tea please.

African-American McDo Cashier: (politely) Will that be all, sir?

Ali: (Filipino accent shows.) I'd like a McSpaghetti with that.

Black Mickey-Dee's Salesgirl: (Surprised.) Say what?

Ali: (grimacing...) McSpaghetti.

(Akala ko, nakaloko na ako. But no...)

McDonald's Clerk of Color: (proud of herself) Oh! You're Filipinow!

Wala lang. Naalala ko.

Sa Kuala Lumpur naman, lasang kamote ang fries nila, tapos, ang tawag sa hamburger, BEEFburger, kasi baka isipin ng mga Muslim, they serve swine. Eh, di patay sila. Magririot ang mga Islamic fundamentalists.

Last useless piece of information. Sa Hawaii, they've begun to serve Spam in McDo!
GUD_BADOODLES
May mga teorya rin ako tungkol diyan!!!


1.) Noong pinag-iisipan ng may-ari ng McDo kung sinu-sino ang mga magiging mascot niya, nag- jutes siya! sabay nakita niya ang mukha ng asawa niya na inis na inis kaya naisipan niyang gumawa ng Grimace! hahahahaha

2.) Nasobrahan siya sa pagkain ng ubas kaya noong jumebak siya naging violet ang kanyang jebs at dahil milagro siyang makakita ng kulay violet na tae naisipan niyang gawin mascot. hehehe

3.) Naglalasing yung may-ari ng McDo at habang nakakarami ng inom lalong nagiging kamukha ni Grimace ang asawa niya hanggang malasing na siya ng tuluyan at hayun! pumangit na sobra ang paningin niya sa aswa niya! nyahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

4.) Baka jebak talaga siya ni Birdie!!!!

si grimace ay amag.

o kaya naman pimple na tinubuan ng tao.
hudas
hindi siya sundae, Grape Soda siya. meron daw nun sa states dati... ewan ko lang. rolleyes.gif
trainspotter
I thought Grimace was just a blob. Para bang black sheep ng McDonalds barkada. Hehe.

Pero kung milkshake dapat siya, bakit hindi na lang siya ginawang basong may mukha, kamay at paa? Bakit kailangan pa magmukhang... blob?
raggster
ang sinabi sa akin, parang grape slurpee-type drink daw siya na hindi naman na-carry over dito sa Pina's, at mukhang na-phase-out na rin sa US. then again, that was a local manager na medyo bago lang, so chances are ginagago lang ako 'nun. wink.gif

personally, i think tama si Gridlock. why else name him Grimace? biggrin.gif
Hell - O
GRIMACE is juz a purple guy na ganun ang itsura.....

ewan ko... cguro naisipan nilang gumawa ng mysterious barbaric character na panglaban nila dun sa rich businessman ng jolibee. (yung nka blue na suit and a red tie)

i like to side with gridlock's theory... pero i dun wanna try that.

as for grape sodas, meron tlaga sa states and canada yun.... ewan ko lang kung may grape slurpee-type of drink....

MY OWN THEORY is that naka-inom ng "taro-milk-tea w/ taro-pudding" sa quickly yung may-ari ng mcdo. gustu nyang gayahin pero naka trademark sa quickly... nag-improvise na lng sya.....

mas-mabuti pang tanungin nyo lhat ng nagtatrabaho sa mcdo duun sa katipunan.... and since katabi lng ng skul nila yung mcdo, tanungin nyo na rin yung mga kilala nyo sa kostka skul.....

o cge!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!! It DOES make sense! I mean, why name a fast food place's mascot grimace? but then again, why is he a purple blob? its not like what comes out is a purple blob.

maybe he's an avocado.
pareho naman shape eh. baka siguro, dapat sana nagkaroon sila ng avocado shake but it didn't push thru.

oh and i just wanna say, those stupid mascots freak me out. REALLY, REALLY freak me out. I don't like clowns..and weird shaped somethings that you can't really decipher what they are. eeeeew. But i still love mcdo!

grimace has been associated with milkshakes but he's not one. he just loves to steal them. smile.gif
no one really knows what he is and even the mcdo website offers no explanation.
so basically he's just a stupid corporate mascot. but he's cute though.

mali kayo lahat (except dun sa isa na mejo malapit yung sagot na sinabi niya milkshake smile.gif)

si grimace ay isang blueberry shake

dati kasi nung maliit pa yung mcdo, yung tinitinda nila ay barbeque at mga shake. Isang shake dun yung blueberry shake.

Ngunit kakaiba itong shake dahil maasim ito--kaya napapagrimace ang mga tao pag iniinom nila ito.

kaya ayun, si grimace ay nabuhay.

yun yung nabasa ko dati sa website ng mcdo.. biggrin.gif tsaka pati yung gwardya sa mcdo katips yun din yung sagot.

ewan ko nga lang kung bakit naging purple si grimace kung sa blueberry shake siya nanggaling. baka sadyang purple lang ito. hmmmmm...

I just got this in the email. Wala lang, just wanted to share:

Sa mga hindi pa nakakaalam... si Grimace ay yung batchoy na kulay ube na mascot ng McDo. Ano ba siya? At ano ba ang papel nya sa buhay ni Ronald?

Sabi sa website ng McDo, eto daw si Grimace:

"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."

Ows? E ano naman ngayon?!?

Actually, si Grimace ay kontrabida na may anim na kamay na nagnenenok ng milkshakes. Ika nga sa isang website:

"Between Hamburglar (who stole burgers), the Fry kids (who stole fries), and Grimace, crime was running rampant in the 'McHood."

O di ba... napak agandang ehemplo sa mga kabataan??? Pero ang pinakamagandang mga teorya ay galing (kanino pa?) kundi sa mga Pilipino:

unang teorya: Si Grimace ay isang ube mascot. Ung McDo marahil ay may ice cream o shakes na ube ang flavor.

pangalawa: Si Grimace ay bastardong anak ni Tinky Winky ng Teletubbies (na natsitsismis na bakla) at isang eggplant.

pangatlo: Siya ay violet na krayola na iniwan ng mga bata (sa playground ng McDo) sa araw para matunaw.

pang-apat: Grape-flavored drink daw si Grimace... kaya lang maasim un drink kaya nagmukhang grimace sila...kaya siya tinawag na Grimace!

panlima: Siya daw ang pinaka-suwangit na mascot ng McDo, kaya siya pinasuot ng costume - purple na costume daw ito na napaka-bigat na hindi na matanggal!
Hehe!

pang-anim: Si Grimace ay lahat ng pagkain sa McDo na hinalo sa blender....

pampito: Siya ay isang milkshake. Period.

pangwalo: In-introduce daw ng McDo ang kamote french fries sa Pinas ng pumunta daw sila dito. Kaya daw may mascot na Grimace. Isa siyang kamote.

pangsiyam: Kakambal pala siya ni Ronald McDonald, kaya lang, retarded daw si Grimace kaya siya pinasusuot ng
purple costume.

pero ito ang pinakamatinong teorya so far...

pang-sampu: Si Grimace, kasama ng iba pang mascots ng McDo, ay pinakilala noong 70's. Siya ang nagrepresent ng Blueberry milkshakes na ni-launch sa US. Ang tawag
talaga sa kanya ay Evil Grimace, kasi nga nagnenenok siya ng milkshakes. Galing siya sa isla na puno ng sigla at puro milkshakes. (Ok, whatever...)

E ano ba ang official word ng McDo???

Well, may tumawag sa McDo to ask nga kung sino ba talaga si Grimace... Alam mo kung ano ang sinabi ng babaeng sumagot ng phone.....???

"He's a potato."

wahahaha!!!


biggrin.gif biggrin.gif smile.gif
Saling_SiSiw
You know what i think grimmace is?
He's a psychotic derranged serial killer that runs rampant killing other mascots as per "Ronald Mc Donald's order"!

or

He could be the Monster they never showed in "Monster's Inc." or Ultraman! I heard when he auditioned in ultraman he asked if ultraman would look like ronald! he he he!!!! biggrin.gif

Si Grimace ay isang kabuteng sumulpot na lamang sa bayang McLandowhatsover.

Pagmasdan n'yo s'ya, mukhang mushroom. Weirdo nga lang talaga.

After many many years, McDonald's has finally released the product Grimace stands for. And only in the Philippines.

Grimace is an ube-macapuno sundae.

Walang biro.

Punta kayong McDo. May ube-macapuno sundae na. Nang makita ko sa menu, napa-grimace ako.

End of mystery, folks. biggrin.gif

#1)
grimace is the bastard child of a mcdonald orgy... the child of who? well, no one really knows exactly...

#2)
grimace is actually the expression on your face when you find out what really is in mcdonalds' food... that way, mcdonald's will escape all charges claiming that grimace was there hinting the people that there food isn't really made of beef, chicken, and potatoes... but horse testacles, cat liver, etc.
