The Fry Kids

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fry Kids are McDonaldland characters used to promote McDonald's restaurants. When they first appeared, they were called Gobblins and liked to steal and gobble up the other characters' french fries. Accompanying them was the catchy "Keep Your Eyes on Your Fries" jingle. Their name was later changed to The Fry Guys, then the Fry Kids, as female characters (The Fry Girls) were introduced.

[edit] Appearance

They are differently-colored, shaggy, ball-like creatures with long legs and no arms, almost resembling a Pom-pom with legs and eyes. Most of the time they are mute, but when they speak they talk in some sort of gibberish. Their only facial features are bulbous eyes.

Some say the Pokemon Tangela was based from the Fry Guys.[citation needed]
