Look At This! The Original Ronald McDonald From 1963

Ronald McDonald is recognizable face for any kid who spent time squealing over Happy Meal toys. But, one look at Willard Scott and you might be drawing a blank. That's because Willard stopped performing as Ronald McDonald back in 1971. Since then, McDonald's has been providing their customers with a somewhat updated and improved version of the fast food mascot. With a new look, and even some much needed weight requirements, today's Ronald is just a glimmer of what he used to be. And, we're okay with that. We try not to frequent the joint too often, but thank god Willard Scott is gone because that dude looked like a total psycho. [Retronaut]
