Answer: The ‘connection’ has its origins at an exhibition in Lyon, France in 1894. There, Edouard Michelin pointed out to his brother Andre that a stack of tires on the company’s stand looked a bit like a person. In 1898, the concept was brought to poster artist Marius Rossillon, who drew a ‘tire-man’ – tires were then light in colour – onto a sample artwork for a brewery carrying the words ‘Nunc est Bibendum’ (now is the time to drink). The slogan, from an ode by Roman poet Horace, stayed with the new poster and soon after gave rise to the Michelin man’s famous name.
