Michelin Man
*Bibendum
This was from the cool time when companies used their money to make things even if they’re only tangentially related to their business. The mickelin guide and the gennis book of records are cut from the same cloth.
Now companies just spend money on stock buybacks and other financial chicanery.

He’s talking positively about major corporations, are you really surprised at the spelling and grammar?
i see what you’re getting at, however along the same vein this seems like a good time to point out that it literally says in her name that she’s not a he :P
Thx ❤️
Missed the pronouns, I guess my bad for misgendering. I’m a child of the 90s, male, female, or whatever spectrum you fall on, it’s still largely dude and bro in my vernacular. I’ll still support you playing sports, and whatever else it is you crazy kids do that you think will make you happy. Just don’t expect me to personally participate or pretend to give a shit about pronouns.
It is weird when you think about it.
Similarly, the Guinness book of records was started by Guinness the beer brand to settle pub arguments.
Yeah. I always assumed the name Michelin was just a coincidence. I was incredulous when I found out that it’s the same company. Genuinely weird thing for a tire company to do.
They did not start it for the reason in the comic. That is a complete fabrication.
It was an internal list of restaurants to wine and dine fine clients, and it was a massive success and many people who wanted to know where to take their own clients kept trying to find out about the Michelin list
