Status: Partially Found
In 2004, McDonald's in the UK made a few television advertisements for kids to keep healthy. This would feature the character of Ronald McDonald and a few creatures called the YumChums.
Lost Adverts/Lyrics
These series of adverts go like this: It would show Ronald McDonald at a gym, and then it would show what is inside his stomach, pitch black with cartoon-like eyes saying if they're ready. It would suddenly fade into a colorful environment with the YumChum gang:
- A purple blobby character who has a skateboard.
- A female character who has a swirly tail and likes dancing.
- A small, smart green creature with glasses.
- A big, spherical brown hairy monster.
- A small, blue bouncy ball like creature with a baseball cap.
All these characters would sing about the joy of being healthy and they would sing one of these songs.
-5 a Day: This advert involves the group of characters turning into fruit and vegetables, high-fiving each other, and singing about eating 5 food groups a day. One notable part involves the big monster character growing an apple stem on top of its head. Lyrics were found on a website titled 'CreamCheese', and a possible screenshot was recently discovered. Recently, the full advert was discovered
-Drinking Water: This advert had the characters swimming in water whilst singing a song about it. One part is known to feature the green creature character drinking water from a bottle and breaking the fourth wall by telling the viewer to drink plenty of water.
-Exercising: TBD
At the end of the songs, it would come back to Ronald McDonald, who would be doing an activity related to the song, like juggling tomatoes in the 5 a day advert for example, causing them to splatter on the screen. The adverts would end with the URL for the YumChums website as well as the slogan said by Ronald himself "It's what I eat, it's what I do, I'm lovin' it".
