Mr. Bibendum, The Michelin Man Returns

[t-head]

Mr. Bibendum, The Michelin Man Returns: Surely one of the most recognized company mascots in the world is Mr. Bibendum seen here with a Model T Ford, better known as the Michelin Man. Equally recognizable, but in an entirely unrelated field, is the Chiclets brand of chewing gum. You can learn the fascinating details about how the two are related and much more on The Old Motor

I took my 6 year old nephew sledding yesterday, and I sure wish I was wearing that suit Mr. Bidendum has on. It was cold.

Thank you for sharing this photo. From the looks of the youngin' in the picture, that was a hot day. Mr. Bibendum must have been sweltering in that costume!

Glad you are enjoying Mr. Bidendum, here is one of many photos we have of him, this time in France.

That last photo might be in a country that speaks Spanish not French, unless it was on the boarder of the two nations....

Not to deflate anyone's ego, but this thread has become tiresome. Can't we just roll on?

Personally I am enjoying the hell out of the thread! Soooo you are deflating my ego and I now need a good cry and then hug a tree.. but you on the other hand can just bypass the thread and all is well...

I think the sarcasm fell flat............

Sorry to make you squeal, so I have to reply. I may be biased, but I really do think this hole thread is a bit over-inflated.

now that is a great post.

Not trying to be political at all but it struck me that we used to have a Mr Bidendum, and now we have a dumb Mr Biden.

29er, it seems that aojo has gotten a bead on you, and your re plys, but can't you two just patch it up and roll on?

Hehe.........Too much pressure. I'm gonna retire now.

Thanks t-head for the original post.... I didn't know about Mr. Bibendum. FB is so educational! That was fun.

Tube bad, this tread kind of struck a cord with me. Don't want to kick it around some more?
