Phil A. O’Fish

In the 1970s, McDonalds introduced many of its well-known corporate mascots such as the Hamburgerlar, Mayor McCheese, and Ronald McDonald. It also debuted Phil A. O'Fish who, for some reason, disappeared less than a year after being introduced.

I wonder what Phil did wrong to get dropped so quickly.

He was probably dropped because of his resemblance to Charlie the Tuna.
