Who is Grimace, the protagonist of the new game released by McDonald’s
Grimace is a purple blob and is among McDonald’s oldest mascots. It has undergone several design changes over the years. Initially it was represented as a four-armed monster, then it became more like a Barbapapa and was then excluded from the advertising context for years now.
However, the company has not forgotten this. Indeed, he wanted to celebrate it in a completely appropriate way: with a nostalgic game that brings back memories of the years in which Grimace devoured milkshakes.
