Denny’s is best known for their signature Grand Slam breakfasts, but that may have just changed...
All eyes are on their fairly new, not so appetizing mascot-type thing that a lot of people think bears a striking resemblance to feces.
Denny's was probably aiming for a friendly sausage as their mascot, but at best we have a face that seems more like it's welcoming us to the bathroom than a restaurant — and some people are straight up calling it a "turd."

Who was the idiot that came up with that? They better fix it fast.
South Park should sue. Denny’s stole Mr. Hankey.
As for bad mascots, that Olympics that featured the blue sperm with stars coming out of its butt was the worst.
Mr. Hankey: I'm all packed up. Mr. Denny's: Moon over my-hammy!
Where are we going?
Denny’s, Denny’s? You mean you can have real food there? I would only go there if every other restaurant in the entire world was closed—in which case Denny’s would be the first.
How could they have gone through the development of this and no one, even once, thought of Mr. Hankey? They could have chosen a slice of bacon, a pancake, a fried egg, but no.
It’s WAY bigger than that. They ar oon Episode 27 of an animated short series featuring the entire Slam Family.
ROTFLMAO...
Looks like a promo for “Caddyshack - the Pool Scene”.
Go to a Waffle House at 5AM. Friendly and peppy staff. Enriched breakfast. Bathrooms are clean. Half the seats are full, and by 6AM, the place is crammed full.
Something really hit the fan!
“South Park should sue. Denny’s stole Mr. Hankey.”
I can see the South Park guys doing that just to torture Denny’s with the headlines a lawsuit would create.
This place packed 'em in. Sure, the giant head mascot permanently scarred young children, but they had damn good chicken (so I heard).
Mr. Sausage looks much better standing along with the others. That context comes close to saving him.
Pulling up in space.
Sniffing.
“Get a whiff of that kids!”
Back this van up Dad!”
If I had to guesstimate, probably several hundred thousand dollars went down the toilet before agreeing on this mascot.
I may be way off on the low side :)
You’re friend must be a lot of laughs :)
I would have just seen it as a sausage shape if I had never read this article. Now, it’s hard to think of anything except THAT. Did no one see this in advertising? All the money spent on product development wasted.
“Drop anchor at Dennys with Mr. Hanky!”
