Ronald McDonald
So I was walking back this evening from the legendary "Shop Rite" in Hasbrouck Heights New Jersey to my hotel room, at the more infamous than legendary Holiday Inn on Rt 17 south, and I passed a McDonalds restaurant.
It's not surprising to pass a fast food restaurant on Route 17, in fact the surprising thing is that there is only one in the three blocks between here and the Shop Rite. But I digress.
The thing I couldn't help but notice, in my hyper-awareness of McDonald's marketing tactics, is that in New Jersey anyway, those wacky cartoon like characters who used to frolic with Ronald McDonald the clown, are still being used here. You know the ones, the Hamburgler, the Fry Guys, and of course the large amorphous purple blob known only as...
Grimace.
Sometimes these things write themselves.
