Yeah I still have a couple of those in boxes someplace do you remember the.. the McDonald's money I have some of that too I have a lot of toys that were never ever opened

. I'm curious if all the boxes of toys and. McDonald's stuff that I have I would love to find a cheeseburger or something in there that was never opened just to see if it was petrified wood by now I mean they turn petrified within 2 days from the day anyway so after all these years it could be growing something on it who knows if I did have them

[PBandJ_Nerd]

There wouldn't be any mold on it because it isn't real food.

[ohsheeT]

You mean it's 100% preservatives is why there wouldn't be mold on it but it would be petrified though

[ohsheeT]

Yes you're right there's no real food in it whatsoever sawdust Vaseline mouse hairs whatever you know with secret sauce

[strateguy632]

Yes! I remember from 90s n naught-ees around 2008, they had those can shaped ones.

Maybe valuable to sell as a set at antique shop. In 1992 a different shape.

I have never been to a fast food restaurant in my life but I like the looks of those glasses, minus the advertisement on them.

I have something similar to those glasses and I like the different colors. The problem is that they quickly get cloudy glass when you put them in a dishwasher which is a sign of bad quality glassware. I presume that those glasses depicted are of equally low quality since they have to be mass produced.

[Unit1]

Huh. I wondered about that myself why these glasses didn't stay transparent.

[SueShe]

@Unit1 It is because of limestone deposit on the glasses

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Ours don't look like that, but we have similar ones.

See it for first time. McDonald's and CocaCola, the real axis of evil

[Dargil]

Plus one for humor. Looking for a third component. Ham Burglars?

@freyared
Actually one of the high points of a corporate partnership built for success.

From the McDonald's website:

There are many reasons the Coca-Cola® tastes so great at McDonald’s. We simply follow the guidelines set by Coca-Cola® and take steps to ensure that we serve a high-quality fountain beverage.

The water and Coca-Cola® syrup are pre-chilled before entering our fountain dispensers with the ratio of syrup set to allow for ice to melt. We also keep our fountain beverage system cold so your drink is always refreshing. In order to ensure our drinks are always meeting a gold standard, we filter all the water before it enters fountain dispensers.

There’s also our straw—it’s slightly wider than a typical straw so all that Coke® taste can hit your taste buds.

Now before you say this proves they are the Real Axis of Evil, just don't eat there.

@QuietRunner I like the breakfasts, coffee and Cokes. Burgers? BK are unsurpassed.

[Lynx122]

I do but I never got one :). My neighbors had like 10 of these but it didn't seem that appealing to me. I didn't like McDonalds and also the glasses themselves they look pretty good but each time they did it they had different shapes and sizes and I like more simple practical stuff.

[Unit1]

I had a total of 4.

1 got lost after my forced relocation.

1 broke in shards years later washing it in the sink just like that.

I have 1 green and 1 pink remaining.

Since i quit McDonalds and the likes of it, these 2 will be my last coca cola glasses.

[WindAtMyBack]

I don't remember those.

But I remember the McDonald's commercial for a burger, fries and a drink with change back for your dollar. Yep. One buck. With change.

[Unit1]

Ah, yeah, i didn't live to see it. I only remember those being for 6 euros and today its reaching 12 euros.
We'll be mortgaging for food soon.

[WindAtMyBack]

@Unit1

Adjusting for inflation, I'm not sure if it's more expensive now than it was then. That was before all the big burgers like Big Mac and Quarter Pounder. It was a very small burger compared to modern burgers. There was also no such thing as a large order of fries - there was only one size, small. The drink was also small and full of ice. There was probably not more than 4-5 ounces of actual drink.

[Unit1]

I see. More volume means higher prices naturally.

[Alwayreckles93]

Me still remember the happy moments now everyone is all depressed.

[genericname85]

lol i still use them xD i just never got rid of them. actually in my struggle times, when i moved, i got an entire box of them of ebay for one buck. can't get drinking glasses for your place any cheaper.

[hahahmm]

yeah but I recall they got in trouble because there was some toxic ingredient in some of the colors or something.

[Kaneki05]

Yup they were cool. They did another cup thing recently but I didn't get one, and from what I saw they were made more cheaply.

[electromagnetic]

Pretty. I didn’t have McDonald’s very much growing up so I dont know these items even existed.

[RichA322]

Yeah, I still have them. I even have the older ones they once sold to some menus.

[Massageman]

Never at any McD we visited. Haven't gone to one for years though - they give up on me with crap service/worse foods, I give up on them!

[GuyfromCyprus]

Definitely! I still collect them to this day!

[AviatorTom]

Sorry, don't remember them. How far "back in the day" are we going?

[XXblack88]

I say I remember ever seeing them at McDonald's

[12karen]

We don't have macdo here but they used to sell those glasses here

[Sinthia99]

I never knew about these. They are pretty. I wouldn’t mind collecting them

[Valdemort]

lol, yes. My BIL collected them.

[strateguy632]

I LOVE your username!

[Valdemort]

@strateguy632 hahha thank you!! :D

[dustybiker2]

We collected the purple

[Apple1996]

They sell similar cups at dollar tree

[douride2]

Sorry nope. Must have been before my time.

[pinkCadillac2]

I don't remember. But I like it.

[Connie88]

They brought it back 10 years ago I remember.

[In_Trance]

[Anonymous]

Nope. What promotion did that relate to?

[NicholasRedone]
