Isa pang challenge..... Nung finals week ko pa pinag-iisipan to eh.... Anong pagkain ba si Grimace, yung kulay ube na mascot na kasama ni ronald Mcdonald.....?
Grimace (or "The Grimace") is a fictional character who was once part of the marketing campaign of McDonald's. The McDonaldland character was a large, jolly fellow who looked like a large purple gumdrop with small arms and legs. He was known for his smiling face and simple demeanor.
In the first cycle of McDonaldland commercials, Grimace was the "Evil Grimace," with several pairs of arms with which to steal Triple-Thick Shakes. 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' commericals and merchandise as a sort of well-meaning doofus, whose clusmy antics provide a comic foil to the more serious and mature Ronald McDonald. His trademark expression is "duh..."
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 (ie: Mayor McCheese, Fryguys, Chicken McNuggets Buddies, etc) many have naturally tried to guess as to what, if any, food product Grimace is supposed to represent. A common speculation is that he is supposed to be a giant McNugget, though there are many more fanciful attempted explanations. In reality Grimace's "official" role, according to McDonald's, continues to be to represent the chain's famous milkshakes. However, he does this out of love for the taste, and not because he is any way himself a shake-based creature himself.
here is a forward from my mail... medyo mahaba nga lang.
Hindi ka ba naku-curious kung ano o sino si Grimace??? 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... napakagandang 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.
pang-sampu: Kakambal nya si Barney the dinosaur pero wala syang buntot kaya pinalayas sya at napunta sa McDonald Land.
pero ito ang pinakamatinong teorya so far...
pang-labing-isa: Si Grimace, kasama ng iba pang mascotsn 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."
Uh... okay! Whatever....hello. Sa mga hindi nakakaalam kung ano c grimace..here's the REAL ANSWER...
GRIMACE symbolizes one product McDo USED to have na of course, WALA na ngayon. GRIMACE stands for the TARO MILKSHAKE na dati sine-serve ng Mcdo.
This is a fact mga pips. Bahala ka na kung maniwala ka o hindi...Alamat nga eh.
P.S.
After drinking too many milkshakes, most people probably would resemble Grimace

Milkshake pala si Grimace? kasi may nagsabi sakin na tastebud daw sa bunganga si Grimace eh.... pero gusto ko yung theory #2 ni Fraggle: bastardong anak nga sya ni Tinky Winky, and you're right Mr. L, Grimace IS Satan, pero in whatway, I don't know. Basta he IS satan
ang bad nyo kay grimace ah! totoo nga na nung una nilabas si grimace, six-armed robber of milkshakes sya.. pero binago nila to a two-armed 'nice' milkshake lover.. odiva?

O/T: Dito sa Baguio pumaparada na sa Session Road si Jollibee. Noong isang araw, si Ronald McDonald naman. Ano kaya kung magsalubong sa daan 'yung dalawa? Ideas, ideas....
O/T ulit: Nakapanood ako minsan ng commercial ng McDonalds sa India sa cable. Ang kapal ng make-up ni Ronald McDonald, magulo ang wig niya, at mukha siyang nabugbog ng sampung Jollibee.
