BIGGER THAN STARCRAFT 2.
"During the 1980s, McDonald’s used the Uncle O’Grimacey character to market Shamrock Shakes. However, he has been phased out, but is said to return along with Grimace and Mayor McCheese in a series of television spots on Nickelodeon starting in 2008."
That Web 2.0 Ineffable Font of Knowledge, Wikipedia, informs me that Uncle O'Grimacey and Mayor McCheese, both of whom were blasted out of McDonaldland continuity by the infamous Sid and Marty Krofft "look and feel" lawsuit, are both return to hail the almighty return of the sacred Shamrock Shake. McDonalds representatives (one was named "Eddie" and another was named "Shaneequa", both of whom were brandishing that weird salt shaker doohickey thing they use) have declined to comment on this auspicious rumor. If it's only a rumor, why is there already a line of Mego-style McDonaldland toys returning to the shelves?
With the Burger King's campy return and a good 20 years of water under the bridge (Sid and Marty need the money, folks), looks like McDonaldland is coming back in a big way, love it or hate it. I personally am excited for a Mayor McCheese and Uncle O'Grimacey doll back, and I'm crossing my fingers for a Shamrock Shake without Shrek being involved.
And a triple bypass.
