McDonald's
"The Grinch Meal"
The Vanity
McDonald’s “The Grinch Meal” featured a life-sized Grinch who sees people in “Canada-land” enjoying their time together over meals at the fast food restaurant. Annoyed that he wasn’t invited, the Grinch concocts his version of a McDonald’s meal which, among other things, involves sprinkling dill over fries, that he assumes people will loathe. Instead, the restaurant-goers love the meal and, as a result, they love the Grinch. A Grinch costume, mini handmade set of the wintry Canada-land and a life-sized set of the character’s lair were created to establish the world of the Grinch.
