Mariah Carey channels McDees' Grimace




Mariah Carey made an appearance at BET's 106 & Park in New York City yesterday to promote her first fragrance, M by Mariah Carey.
Her milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard!
And for your educational pleasure, some historical information on our beloved Grimace:
Large and purple with short arms and legs, he is known for his monotonous face and slow-witted demeanor. His most common expression is the word "duh". Originally Grimace was the "Evil Grimace", with two pairs of arms with which to steal milkshakes. After that first campaign, the character was revised to be one of the "good guys", and his number of arms was reduced by two. His love of milkshakes was retained. Commercials and merchandise generally portrayed him as a well-meaning simpleton, whose clumsy antics provided a comic foil to Ronald McDonald. The character was retained after the streamlining of the characters in the '80s, but was dropped in 2007.
