Which McDonald's advertising characters were known as the Fry Kids?

The McDonald's characters known as the Fry Kids were the Fry Guys and Fry Girls.

These colorful, furry characters appeared in McDonaldland advertising and were associated with French fries. The Fry Guys were generally presented as energetic, mischievous figures, while the name Fry Girls identified female counterparts in the character group.

Their branding role was different from that of Ronald McDonald or Grimace. Ronald functioned as the central host of McDonaldland, while the Fry Kids represented a specific menu item and supplied movement and comic action in commercials.

The characters are sometimes collectively called the Fry Kids, which can obscure the individual names. They are also easy to confuse with the McNugget Buddies, another group of food-based promotional characters introduced in a different advertising context.
