number 10 chucky cheese chuck-e-cheeses
cheese
for more than 30 years in more than 550
locations chuck-e-cheeses has been
America’s number one place for fun for
kids of all ages and their families who
knew pizza needed a pesky rodent to
endorse it – Chuck E is our choice at 10
thank you thank you thank you
he’s a culinary critter with character
for two and he’s not afraid to change
with the times in 1977 when the
restaurant that combined food arcade
games and more was first conceived by
Atari founder Nolan Bushnell
chuck was a rat quickly and smartly he
was softened into a mouse and recently
he underwent a mini midlife crisis in
2012 the mouse received a makeover for
the modern market and now he’s a more
rockin rodent gratified that dad’s turn
instead
let me have some more number nine big
boy big boy restaurants ok kids since
moms are bowling what’s it gonna be my
cooking or Elias brothers big boy big
boy
thank goodness a multifaceted multi
franchised company it all comes together
under the smiling searching gaze of this
guy big boy was a big business move when
he was created following the chains
founding in 1936 the fiberglass statues
have since become a symbol of the United
States and big boy himself became a
comic book hero originally inspired by a
six-year-old customer the mascot shares
his name with the franchises
double-decker Berger and his welcoming
smile and twinkling eyes have invited
burger lovers to the restaurant
ever since it’s your big boy number
eight the noid Domino’s Pizza no I did
it the nasty but nice noid is intent on
icing up your pizza but isn’t powerful
enough to do so call Domino’s Pizza and
annoyed annoyed
we keep the cold out and all this
quality in dominoes created him as a
testament to their pizzas freshness as
this rabbit ear drascalo routinely fails
to find enough time to cool the pizza
down within their 30-minute window
Domino’s pizza deliveries call now
clad in a red spandex full-body suit his
fashion sense is almost as criminal as
his intentions but we still hold a soft
spot for his niggling wriggling ways for
some reason and in fact he was so
popular he even spawned a video game one
call does it all number seven the Arby’s
oven mitt Arby’s sometimes simple sells
that’s clearly the case at Arby’s where
an oven mitt with a mouth and the voice
of Tom Arnold became the face of their
food in 2003 the facial expression is
difficult to read it’s somewhere between
satisfied and suave but this red and
white kitchen accessory is as famous as
he is friendly oh he was my favorite
though many viewers had a love-hate
relationship with the myth he was around
to remind consumers that Arby’s only
used fresh roast beef in their
sandwiches roasted right in the store so
too juicy not greasy
then marinated in Italian seasonings on
a soft baguette and it proved to be a
red-hot marketing move ha ha okay okay
I’ll stop
number six jack box jack-in-the-box for
the first time on this list we get
particularly freaky jack box appears
respectable from shoulder to toe he dons
a suit and holds himself well but he has
an oversized snowman inspired head with
a frozen face but he’s so cute he’s
evidently the CEO of the jack-in-the-box
chain Kimmy do you make balloon animals
sorry I’m the head of a billion dollar
company and after being dramatically
dropped he was reintroduced in 1994 to
distance the brand from a
food contamination scandal hello I’m
Jack founder Jack the bus
perhaps you remember that was fire ever
since that setback about to one day
regain my rightful place as head of
jack-in-the-box more recently he was the
subject of a particularly extensive
promotional campaign for instance
breakfast all day or maybe a bird
my boss just got hit by a bus and it
looks really really bad
hang in there jack it’s not that bad no
it’s really bad I was just lying to him
to cheer him up
in 2009 Jack was hit by a bus
hospitalized and eventually revitalized
in a social media story that modernized
marketing I will yell from the
mountaintops Jack’s message people can
order anything on the menu any time
really that does not ring a bell
number five Wendy
Wendy’s years ago my dad started a
hamburger chain and named it after me I
love that about dad she isn’t
animatronic she doesn’t have any
particular peculiarities but she is one
of the most famous faces and all of fast
food Wendy was originally inspired by
the eight-year-old daughter of
restaurant founder and spokesman Dave
Thomas adding a touch of cuteness to his
carb loaded meals her pigtails hair bows
and striped shirt merged together to
form a red white and blue combo almost
as recognizable as the star-spangled
banner itself they want to make dad more
than proud it would have made him hungry
number four the Taco Bell Chihuahua Taco
Bell
it’s a questionable cultural stereotype
but this pooches popularity saw her
promote Taco Bell throughout the 90s
created to make a dent in the burger
wars the Taco Bell Chihuahua was such a
hit she was a part of pop culture hasta
LaVista offered through the use of
Carlos Alice Rocky’s voiceover she was
presented as masculine when in fact she
was all woman yolk it’ll buckle bad real
name Gidget she was often shown pursuing
a love interest when in fact all she
really wanted was tacos the dog always
has its day though and the bitch always
got her burritos bless you Taco Bell
number three the Burger King Burger King
that’s not real magic
Burger King oh yes it is oh no it’s not
oh yeah live and in color they’re one of
the most famous fast-food chains on
earth but he’s unlike anything else to
have walked in the creepy King as he was
popularly dubbed was a royal weirdo in
need of a shave and some social skills
and yet he sold burgers with
considerable success somehow bacon meat
cheese meat and cheese
that’s right
double croissan’wich though he was a
spin on earlier King based campaigns and
characters this iteration of the king
was inexplicably the most popular his
reign came to an end in August 2011
however when the burger joint forced him
into an early advertising abdication I
love magic and food that’s fun yay
number two Colonel Sanders KFC
Colonel Harland Sanders is perhaps one
of the most widely recognized figures of
the 20th century at least in the fast
food world the creator and the face of
KFC his image was developed as a cheap
marketing ploy and it worked
today the Colonel’s mug is plastered
across food courts TV screens and
roadside signage across the world an
awesome entrepreneur he turned a
roadside restaurant into an
international franchise that was finger
lickin good and fried to perfection we
cook it up two ways crunchy extra crispy
crunchy because it’s dipped in batter
twice or tender original recipe 11 herbs
and spices make it taste so nice for you
Sanders died in 1980 but may his
caricature features live on for years to
come it’s nice to feel so good about a
meal before we unveil our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions it’s a
pizza 3d let me get my glasses okay
that’s pretty cool
it only takes a fistful of change to
enjoy a sandwich at Subway restaurants
number one Ronald McDonald McDonald’s
did you know I can turn into a
McDonald’s let me see let me see
okay I’m turning into a McDonald they’re
the biggest fast-food chain and he’s the
best fast-food mascot the face of
McDonald’s Ronald McDonald has achieved
icon status since his conception in 1963
hey isn’t watching TV bud especially
when we got delicious McDonald’s
hamburgers he has Wendy’s red hair the
King’s freaky appearance and the
Colonel’s kindly character put it all
together and you have a master of the
mascots with the Hamburglar grimace and
the rest of his phased out McDonald land
pals Ronald has won this race by more
than his red nose he’ll be as happy as
his meals with our gold medal around his
neck
