(Think Fast Answer: Michelin) The official name of the Michelin Man is Bibendum. The name originated with the character?s appearance in an 1898 ad that stated "Nunc est bibendum" or "Now is the time to drink" in Latin. The slogan implied that Michelin tires could swallow obstacles. In 2000, Bibendum was voted "greatest logo in history."
