re: Has Ronald McDonald Been Phased Out?

I know one of only two ronalds in Louisiana. One for south Louisiana and one for north. It is crazy all the rules they have to follow. The funniest one is you can't drive dressed as Ronald because if you wreck a kid my pass by and see bloody messed up Ronald and scar them for life. But yes he is still mascot and they get paid pretty well.

I think I went to one of the Orlando ones. It had a big arse arcade in it

Was he a casualty of the affordable care act?

Can you imagine the rates on a guy like him? Look how old he is; how active he was, he was a living picture of proof the old health system worked.

Maybe pressure for Washington to MCD headquarters?

Just sayin

You people have some crazy,over-the-top ideas. Think law of diminishing returns. Ronald got too expensive. It was just a matter of time. It's been 79 years. Get over him already.

McDonaldland was a fantasy world used in the marketing for McDonald's restaurants. According to a lawsuit, it was based on the "total concept and feel" of Sid and Marty Krofft's H.R. Pufnstuf television program.[1] McDonaldland was inhabited by Ronald McDonald and other characters. In addition to being used in advertising, the characters were used as the basis for equipment in the playgrounds attached to some McDonald's. McDonaldland and the supporting characters were dropped from McDonald's marketing in 2003, but Ronald McDonald is still seen in commercials and in Happy Meal toys.

Holy crap, the first hamburgler was creepy and called the "lone Jogger" which is even creepier.
And the original Grimace was called "Evil Grimace" and he had four arms.
