  McDonald’s has announced they’re sticking with Ronald McDonald as the brand’s mascot. Good idea?
 
 From the LA Times: "McDonald's executives say the company is working to be part of the solution. The company already allows parents to request milk or juice instead of soda in Happy Meals and offers sliced apples with carmel sauce and chicken nuggets instead of French fries and hamburgers."Why don't they just offer those choices in the first place instead of making them options that must be requested? The problem isn't Ronald - it's McDonalds!

 Well, It is a good idea since Ronald has been the mascot for the Brand most of the time. He is happy, colorful, bright, loved by children and even Adults who never want to grow up.. he is usually sitting on a bench outside each McD, or waving a hi hanging on top of the signboard. So if the critics like it or not Ronald IS the face of McDonald and guess what it even rhymes.

 Maybe he should just modernized a bit but definitely keep him.
