8578: Ronald McDonald Pulls A Brett Favre.


Consumerist reported that the rumors of Ronald McDonald’s retirement were premature.

“We are absolutely NOT retiring Ronald!” insisted a Mickey D’s spokeswoman. “[Members of the press] came to a conclusion that we are semi-retiring him because they haven’t seen him in commercials recently. Ronald is never associated with food, and while he certainly still appears in creative and advertising, they’re more evergreen, because they are never associated with a specific food promotion or event.”

Well, it’s a given that the clown is never associated with food—but only because McDonald’s menu items don’t really qualify as food.
