No article for Grimace (Character)

I was recently browsing and realized that there is no article for the character of Grimace. The only links that exist lead you to McDonaldLand. I believe this is a crucial aspect that the site is missing as people tend to wonder what Grimace even is. Thank you very much for your time.

Feel free to write an article specifically about Grimace (character). In the mean time, or until someone else has enough knowlege and reliable sources to do so, we'll have to suffice with the redirect. I note that the redirect takes the reader to:

Grimace (performed by Patty Saunders from 1971–1983, Mauri Bernstein in some 80's commercials, Terry Castillo-Faass from 1983–2000, voiced by Lennie Weinrib from 1971–1986, Frank Welker and sometimes Larry Moran from 1986–2003,[13] Kevin Michael Richardson in The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald) – A large purple monster who was first introduced in November 1971 as the "Evil Grimace". In Grimace's first appearances, he was one of the original main antagonists and was depicted with two pairs of arms which were used to steal milkshakes and Cokes. "Evil" was soon dropped from Grimace's name and he was reintroduced in 1972 as a protagonist where he only has one set of arms. He was then a rather clumsy, but still amiable monster from then on. His exact nature has been disputed: in a 2010 online interview on TechMommy, a McDonald’s spokesperson said that Grimace was a taste bud.[15] A 2014 Tweet from the McDonald's Twitter account stated "Grimace lore says he is the embodiment of a milkshake or a taste bud."[16] In 2021, Brian Bates, a franchisee in Canada, stated that Grimace is a taste bud, in an interview widely reported on in the press.[17][18] Writing in The Takeout, Lillian Stone disputed this, pointing out other material that established that Grimace was part of a species of Grimaces, including his Uncle O'Grimacey who promoted the Shamrock Shake.[19]

which seems pretty informative already even if not its own article. DMacks (talk) 18:01, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
