That Purple Blob Named Grimace

Is he a taste bud or a milkshake?
Everyone loves that happy, purple blob Grimace
He's a McDonald character that loves milk shakes
 
Back when he debuted in 1971, he was called Evil Grimace
Evil Grimace was sinister
A villain who would steal milkshakes from children
He was mean, had four arms and no charm at all
Children were frightened
Some children believed if they ordered a milk shake, that evil Grimace would steal it out of their hands
The 4-armed Grimace was also a coke fiend
Besides stealing milk shakes and tormenting kids, he would steal cups of soda, creating a gloomy day in McDonaldland
Evil Grimace was usually duped by Ronald McDonald
He would never learn from his mistakes
Around St Patrick's Day, Evil Grimace would turn green, promoting Shamrock Shakes
You would think he would be nice like a leprechaun... he wasn't
 
By 1972 Evil Grimace wasn't going over to well with children
McDonald's decided to amputate two of his arms, drop "Evil" off of his name and give the character a dopey, friendlier personality
Similar to the Patrick character in Sponge Bob Square Pants
Maybe the creators of Sponge Bob were influenced by Grimace
So Grimace went from being a heel to a baby face
From stealing milk shakes, he became best friends with Ronald
I guess having a clown as your good friend, hooks you up with an unlimited amount of milk shakes and Coke
 
Grimace is obviously obese
I'm sure he's also diabetic with heart issues
Is this a way to tell the viewer that you can end up looking like Grimace?
If so, avoid McDonald's or any other fast food chain at all costs!
