We are proud to announce the official position of McDonald's on the exact description of The Grimace : "He is a big fuzzy purple fellow and Ronald's special pal." That's it. Regardless of our prodding, our cajoling, our interrogating, and our acts of hostility, this was the most we could learn from our golden-arched pals. But we are assured that this is as much as Ronald McDonald himself knows about his fuzzy purple friend.
