Michelin Man

Puffy white mascot

The Michelin Man is the mascot of the Michelin tire company—a humanoid figure made of stacked white tires, formally named Bibendum.

The image has become shorthand for a puffy, rotund appearance: He emerged from the fitting room looking like the Michelin Man in that down jacket.
