Ronald McDonald

Ronald McDonald may be well-liked by kids as well, but some adults find him downright frightful. He is undoubtedly the most well-known clown in the world and has represented McDonald's since the character's alleged creation by Willard Scott in the early 1960s. Ronald is dressed in his well-known yellow jumpsuit over a red and white striped jumper and pants ensemble. His hair and lips are also bright red. Although he tries to be amiable and personable, he does have a slightly unsettling appearance.

Since its debut in 1963, McDonald's makeup has been worn by thousands of different individuals. Ronald has appeared in McDonald's global advertising, including in commercials and in-store appearances. Ronald continues to cause controversy despite the fact that he is recognized by 95% of Americans, according to estimates. He was placed 2,109th out of 2,800 celebrities in the Wall Street Journal's 2011 assessment of consumer likability. It appears that not everyone like it.
