The world’s oldest branded character, the Michelin Man aka Bibendum has been with us for over 100 years. What you might not know is that he started off as an aristocrat that encouraged drinking, literally. It’s what his name means. To drink. Like… What?? His tire built body has morphed and changed over the years from horrifying to cuddly, cigar smoking drunk to a puppy owner. This is one wild ride.
