The series centers on an adventuring magical clown named Ronald McDonald, who has red hair, has white and red face paint, and wears a yellow jumpsuit over a red and white striped long-sleeve shirt with yellow gloves. His most regularly occurring friends are Grimace, the Hamburglar, Birdie the Early Bird, the Fry Kids, the McNugget Buddies, and the Happy Meal Gang. The fictional world has a variety of inspirations from general high fantasy and low fantasy, to corporate culture and corporate personality, to more specific influences including Christian media and the artwork of Koichi Kimura from McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure.

Merchandise featuring the McDonaldland characters included a kid-friendly magazine titled "McDonaldland Fun Times", which published six issues a year. A direct-to-video animated film titled The Adventures of Ronald McDonald: McDonaldland Treasure Island was released in 1989, featuring much of the McDonaldland characters from the 1980s. Video games featuring the characters were also released, such as M.C.

In 2021, Pokémon Happy Meal toys became a hot commodity, ending up on the resale market. Last October, the company released a series of Happy Meal toys in collaboration with Cactus Plant Flea Market — pretty clearly aimed at adults — that also became highly sought-after on the resale market.

People were, of course, curious to know what a Grimace shake tastes like. What flavor is a purple, triangular, googly-eyed monster, who might actually be a taste bud? Turns out he’s “berry” flavored. One reporter compared the taste of the shake to cereal-milk. Grimmis died exactly like his Aspect represents, he sacrificed his life to steal Deathlius' soul though this failed. In the Glaecon boss encounter, he does this at 1% health, but it fails again only to deal a large amount of damage to the raid.

The line between hero and villain is paper-thin — something Grimace (and McDonald’s) is learning first-hand. On June 12, McDonald’s released the berry-flavored Grimace shake as part of the extensive marketing campaign to celebrate the mascot’s birthday. The energetic response from fans turned the promotion into a celebration of Grimace as a queer icon, with people dressing in blursed cosplay for social-media posts about the birthday, and creating fan art of him and the Hamburglar attending Pride. However, only two weeks later, a search for Grimace on TikTok doesn’t surface people honoring “ mother Grimace.” Instead, it brings up videos where Grimace’s shake isn’t a purple treat, but rather a deadly concoction that kills or incapacitates all who dare drink it. Is the Grimace shake dangerous? Ronald McDonald – The primary cultural icon and official mascot of McDonald's. He is a clown with red hair and a big red smile who wears a yellow jumpsuit and red shoes. Grimmis is a very strong being, exhibiting powers of darkness and decay. While he isn't as adapt in melee combat, he makes up for it in magical prowess. Despite this, he is nowhere near as powerful as his brother. Grimmis' ability of aspect, Sacrifice, allows him to risk his life to take a powerful soul forcefully, or sacrifice a part of him to enhance his powers. In the end, however, his life risking ability only ended up killing him, but tearing apart a powerful soul. These characters have not appeared since the 1980s, and the reason remains unknown. Though many assume it had something to do with the lawsuit, this might be incorrect as Mayor McCheese and Officer Big Mac both appear in the 2020 Funko McDonaldland Pop! Vinyl! figures. Grimmis is an Aspect of Death entitling Sacrifice, and is the brother of Esquire, the Aspect of Death entitling Nothingness. Grimmis was in life, one of Death's lesser aspects that worked to claim souls who have transpired to Death's dimension. He wished to attain greater power and become a more powerful Aspect, and sought any opportunity he could to do so.Grimmis wore the usual Aspect armor, but transformed it into a knight sort of theme. He was fantasized by the knights in the Three Wars of Outhria between the Brotherhood and Confederacy. He wields a one handed sword which he drops in his encounter.

Grimace is a large, purple, rotund being of indeterminate species with short arms and legs. He is known for his slow witted yet optimistic demeanor. Grimace sometimes goes for long periods of time without speaking; when he does speak he is known for saying "duh" before every sentence. The Happy Meal Gang – Introduced in 1979, they were joined by the McNugget Buddies in 1984 and the Happy Meal Box and the Under 3 Toy in 1992. They consist of The Happy Meal Hamburger (voiced by Bob Arbogast and later voiced by Jim Cummings [13]), the Happy Meal Fries (voiced by Jeff Winkless and later voiced by Bob Bergen and then Tress MacNeille [13]) and the Happy Meal Drink (voiced by Hal Smith and later voiced by Bill Farmer [13]). The Happy Meal Box character was never voiced, but became a standalone part of marketing campaign for Happy Meals during the 2010s. Mayor McCheese makes appearances in three episodes of the Fox animated television series Family Guy: " Believe It or Not, Joe's Walking on Air", " Road to the Multiverse" and " Valentine's Day in Quahog". In all three episodes, he is voiced by John Viener. Grimace originally debuted as a large purple being with four arms and two legs who loved milkshakes. After that first campaign, Grimace was reintroduced in his modern form, with his number of arms reduced by two.Steinberg, Shirley R.; Kincheloe, Joe L. (1998).

The modern commercials are really cool and merchandise generally portray him as a well-meaning simpleton, whose clumsy antics provide a comic foil to Ronald McDonald. The character was retained after the streamlining of the characters in the 1980s and was one of the few members to also be retained until the end of the McDonaldland commercials. Grimace in the early days was used to advertise the happy meal. In addition to being used in advertising, the characters were used as the basis for themed equipment in the "PlayPlaces" attached to some McDonald's outlets, small recreational activity rooms intended for young children. While the McDonaldland portion has received somewhat less attention since 2003, several of the characters including Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Birdie the Early Bird, and the Hamburglar are still seen in commercials, Happy Meal toys, and materials supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charities. The Fry Kids and McNugget Buddies received entire dedicated McDonaldland themed line-ups of Funko Pop! figures in 2019 and onward, other characters that appeared in the line-up include Ronald, Grimace, the Hamburglar, Birdie the Early Bird, Mayor McCheese and Officer Big Mac.
