What's the origin story for the various McDonaldland characters?

I've been searching all day and I can't seem to find one anywhere.

The clown was stolen from a local clown who was featured in the radio. Grimace was introduced to sell mcnuggets and I have no idea about the others.
You know, seeing them makes ma nostalgic, McDonalds used to have them everywhere back in the 90s and early 2000s and now they are nowhere to be seen

Each character beyong the clown was the personification of a menu item. Once McDonald's managed to convince the skeptical middle class they were a wholesome and hygienic place to eat they needed to win over their kids. This was how they did it - they were really one of the first restaurants to specifically target children, and you can imagine what a novelty that was for kids at the time. Most restaurants made them feel unwelcome, but McDonald's welcomed them. I'm sure it seemed like a big fucking deal.

What ever happened to the Hamburglar? They brought him back for like a week last year then forgot about him. What was the point of that?
