The ex-employee features the fast-food chain's mascot wearing a pair of red pants with an array of yellow chips suggestively poking out of them.

The image has unsurprisingly gone viral and Facebook users have been left shocked by the X-rated toy.

One said that the toy "puts a whole new meaning to the term junk food".

Another added: "I hope those are fries and not some festering condition he's caught!"

A third said: "That's put me right off McDonald's chips, if that's where he keeps them warm!"

The figure was found at a charity shop in Essex by Sy Ewing, who worked at the fast-food chain during his teenage years.

He said: "I have no words.

"Ironically, I used to work at McDonald's in my teens and this scared me."
