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 is known to have 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.
-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 Ronald McDonald would be doing an activity related to the song, like juggling tomatoes in the 5 a day advert for example.
