So there's this rumor about Ronald McDonald and the history surrounding him. Is it really true?

Question

Is it true that Ronald Mcdonald used to be a normal 16yr old employee before he had an accident and fell into the deep fryer and came out all clown like and mentally f****d? I heard he couldn't speak at all anymore and never left the restaurant so McDonalds covered it up by making him the mascot. I saw this in PETA's documentary on McDonald's.

Answer 1

With all the facts presented in such a clear and concise manner, I don't know how anyone could deny total truthiness of it. Although I don't recall, but does fryer oil turn your skin white, your hair red, and cause mental retardation? hmmmm. tough one. I mean on one hand this is the dumbest question ever, but on the other hand.... wait...Ronald? Ronald McDonald? is that you typing this question? Are you now coming out of the horrible shadows of the break room garbage can where they make you live, to exact your sweet revenge on the unsuspecting 5 yahoo users who have answered this question? Oh, sweet revenge, sweet GLORIOUS REVENGE!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Answer 6

This kinda sound familar? Man falls into a vat and emerges as a clown with his mentality changed. Would sound familar to Jack Nicholson and Micheal Keaton. After all, Nicholson played Jack Napier who fell into a vat of chemicals and emerged as the Joker.

So, PETA is turning to 1989's Batman to come up with some of their material now? Lot of problems there.

First off, none of the deep fat fryers are deep enough for a sixteen year old to fall into. Also, their not beg enough both width wise and length wise for someone to even lay their body across one and have it touch the oil from head to two. Also this makes them too small for a sixteen year old in the fetal position to even get their body completely in. Leaves out someone emerging looking like a clown.

Secondly, their up off the floor at a level the employees can operate them from, hopefully fairly safely. So even if the fryers were deep enough for someone to fall into, you'd have to climb up onto them to do so. And then you'd have to remove the baskets the fries are fried in, which could either prevent you from being submerged or hold just long enough for you to roll out of there.

Third, have you ever been burned by the oil in a deep fat fryer or a skillet? Most of us if splattered with this oil when we're cooking can expect first degree burns, maybe second degree if it's more than simple splattering Had a sixteen year old even dipped their hand in one they'd have suffered sever burns to their hand, third degree at the very least and most likely fourth degree. The only way your likely to be able to touch the oil and not get burned is when it's cool. Trust me, that ain't gonna even make your hand look like you put clown make-up on it. If tnothing's been fried in it, you're hand will just feel oily. But if something's been fried in it, your hand will feel greasy due to all the junk that builds up. McDonalds has to change the oil in their fryers at least once or twice a day because of this buildup, other wise things fried inthem become an even bigger health risk.

Fourth, unless you fall into a vat of clown make-up you won't come out of anything looking like a clown unless you either applied the make-up while you were inside the vat (which you won't be doing if there is some kind of liquid inside) or you already had the make-up on in the first place (and if there's liquid in the vat it may either cause the make-up to run or clean it off completely).

No, Ronald McDonald was not some unfortunate 16 year old kid who worked at a McDonalds.
