Under communism, the sate-owned fast food joints would serve healthy meals and give presentations on the reproductive behaviors of their mascots

It turns out, Grimace reproduces pretty normally, but Ronald McDonald's species is absolutely horrific.

If grimace is supposed to be a purple chicken nugget then I would assume he would be a homunculus made from chicken meat

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Exactly, and he creates more of his kind by grinding up things into meat-homunculi. Doesn't have to be chicken, these days he mostly gets by with human children that get lost in the ball pit.

Purple slime. Someone got the mixer ratio wrong.

My personal hypothesis is that Grimace is actually a figment of Ronald McDonald's imagination as a manifestation of his guilt and grief over witnessing his twin brother Donald McDonald die in a car accident which he survived. This is coupled with the only other "Grimace" character, Uncle O'Grimacey, who is heavily Irish and is obviously pro-IRA and is a manifestation of a different type of guilt. Not survivor guilt per se, but his family in Ireland being exterminated by British paramilitary groups while he lives all the way in America.

This seems in line with the author's intention of Mac Tonight being an allegory for the crack epidemic in black neighbourhoods caused by the CIA selling cocaine to fund foreign wars and Mayor McCheese being a parody of incompetent and/or corrupt city mayors which ignored aforementioned epidemic.

This was a darker period of the book series, which is in line with the more sci-fi cosmic horror that is CosMc

Ok, whoever told you to cook didn't mean to just cook meth.

There are few who know, but those that do grimace forever more

McDonald’s doesn’t want you to know this, but they have a lot of details in rule 34 of their corporate policy.

Google Grimace McDonald’s rule 34 for more information

Oh thanks, that actually helped clarify things!

Grimace doesnt breed. Grimace is eternal.

What do you think those grimace shakes were?

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Liquefied Grimace, in a process that makes factory farms look like a day spa.

[–] Lyudmila@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

Grimaces are canonically invertebrates native to Grimace Island and asexually reproduce by budding.
