Why the McDonald's Mascot Became A Nightmare

Ойын-сауық

Ronald McDonald disappeared from the McDonald's brand for a while, which led to a newcomer: Happy, the talking Happy Meal box. The design is one of nightmares and is surprisingly annoying. Why did Ronald McDonald fade away? What made the corporation switch mascots?
Happy has been seen in more than a few McDonald's Happy Meal ads such as Mario Kart, The Smurfs, SpongeBob SquarePants, Angry Birds, Shrek, and... the Minions. On that note, he seems like a clone of Despicable Me's Minions, which could give us a clue on why he became the newest McDonald's mascot...

    My friend and I were just talking about this the other day, wondering if they'd officially gotten rid of Ronald or not. I really miss him, he was such as iconic and likeable mascot. And I get that clowns can be scary (I personally love them but that's just me), but hell even as far as clown designs go his is REALLY tame and simple. Hardly scary at all, at least once they refined him. I'm just glad he at least still makes appearances sometimes, he doesn't deserve to be wiped away completely.

Ronald is a great guy and understands not every kid vibes with him, he respectfully gives them space. Happy as an apex predator has evolved to lure in his prey. He has the front facing eyes of a hunter scavenger.

Like Steve from "Blue's Clues." I also wish they could continue his animated series. "The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald" was a great series. It had such awesome songs! Even though Ronald's not shown on TV so much anymore, I'll still remember his smile. 😊😁

    Happy is an example of what I refer to as the "Idiot Swarm". The group of idiots that look similar or identical, speak gibberish, do random shit, and are designed to be highly marketable. The Minions, The Rabbids, those Cinnamon Toast Crunch squares that eat each other, and these ungodly Happy Meal abominations are all examples of this bizarre phenomenon. Also, I'm glad you brought up how bland and boring McDonalds' aesthetics have gotten. I have no idea what caused this shift, but even as someone who's never been much of a McDonalds' fan, I hate it. Probably even more than the creepy Happy mascots.
