>Few are the mysteries at McDonald's, but here is something many people may not know about the country's largest fast-food chain: during the 1992 holiday season, McDonald's was the country's third-largest seller of videocassettes, based on the number of units sold.
I also recall them putting out quality glass mugs of Batman Forever characters for a buck.
Oh man, this brings back memories. I remember getting Charlotte's Web on VHS from this deal as a kid. I also remember they had Star Trek movies as part of the deal because they showed an ad for them prior to the movie playing. I had completely forgotten about this.

>I also recall them putting out quality glass mugs of Batman Forever characters for a buck. Fug, I remember that. I also remember the only ones I got were the Riddler and Joker ones. My cousin managed to nab a Batman. Or rather our moms did.
Henry Nguyen
I still have those mugs, the riddler and robin one Feels good man
Elijah Green
I remember I got Charlotte's Web and my mom got Ghost.
Cameron Martinez
remember the Flinstones glasses cause that kinda made sense being chisled out of "rock"
ill be going on ebay to find a batman one tho
Isaiah Collins
the earliest promotion I remember is those neon glasses and everyone wearing them non ironically
Adrian Ross
I had the Robin glass, it's probably still at my mom's house after all these years.
Jaxon Collins
moon man

>Joker *meant Two Face
Parker Perry
>you will never browse the horror section of your local video store again
Angel Nguyen
Do people still collect MacDonalds shit? Do they still release good toys?
I remember there used to be a dude at the flea market years ago with a whole corner full of McDonalds toy boxes, if you were missing one from the collection he was thee man to go to
Bentley Hill
Fuck off grandpa
Logan White
>my mom broke my Mr. Freeze Batman & Robin mug
never forgiven the cunt
Adrian Gray
I'm sure people do, but from what I've seen from the toys my nieces and nephews get they're absolute shit quality. The same goes for Cracker Jack toys. When I was a kid they had some decent little prizes in the boxes. Now they're garbage.
Grayson Barnes
i know i'm being a nostalgiafag, but going to the video rental store on a friday as a child was so comfy
Cooper Harris
I still have my McDonald's Addams Family Values. Lost my one McD's Batman mugs, but I still have my BK Strider goblet, light and all.
Jace Russell
Now they're fucking stickers every goddamned time.
Benjamin Cox
Why can't I ever find good shit at goodwill anymore?
Leo Martinez
It gets worse, cracker jacks announced recently that they're phasing out prizes altogether.
William Howard
That's nothing. This fucker right here is a Whataburger nickel mug. Turns out when these were being dished out a few decades ago you could go to any Whataburger and ask them to fill this mug for one nickel. It was a lifetime guarantee, and they still have to do it. I actually tried it once; the kid didn't believe me, took it to management, and then ended up charging me 5 cents for the coffee. My goodwill had two of these fuckers for a quarter each.
Mason Jones

William Diaz
You know what I'd prefer the quarter millimeter of empty space this provides over bullshit like this.
Austin Russell
Why do Americans call always call a burger a sandwich?
Ian Smith
I had one friend who called a burger I was ordering a sandwich. Six years later and he now identifies as female (his ugly as shit girlfriend also identifies as male) and we don't talk anymore.
Brayden Nelson
This explains a lot really.
Noah James
I think it means the deal is applicable whether you buy a hamburger, chicken burger, McRib, whatever.
Andrew Diaz
I drink my overly expensive IPAs and Bottle Conditioned Ales in a Batman mug I got from McDonald's because it triggers the internet whenever they do 'post your drink' threads.
>Batman Glassware >the mcdonalds food transformers (transformed into dinos) >BK Kids Club meal placemats featuring "wheels" the cool kid in the wheelchair >Mickey D's beanie babies
Sebastian Gutierrez
I can't remember if it was McDonalds or Burger King, but I remember getting The Land Before Time at one of them.
Jayden Johnson
I don't think I know a person who didn't jump on those Batman glasses.
Nathaniel Brooks
i think i still have that damn Batman Forever glass mug right now. wow.
Lincoln Morales
only merch from mickey D's i remember having were the snoopy toys, i remember there was a tractor with a wood hitch, only toy my poorfag parents ever bought with a happy meal :)
Owen Williams
I have 3 or 4 Shrek glasses from McDonalds. They are really thick and well made
Brody Bennett
I remember waiting for whole eternities for good happy meal toys. Trouble is by the time I'd persuaded my parents to visit one for lunch the promotion had always just ended or they'd run out.
I'd have given my pre-pubescent left nut for something like this.
Christopher James
I still recall the smell of stagnant city air in a burger king parking lot as I coddled my 64k GOLD pokemon..tablet things.
But when I was a kid the "big" thing were those fucknig yoyos everyone was obsessed about, I forget what they did they probably lit up or something.
Levi Richardson
these are the current toys right now:
-Something called skylanders which looks like planes or kind of like transformers
-Powderpuff girls toys which aren't as moveable but one doubles as a posh ring
it is because it applies to Filet "O" Fish and McChickens as well you fucking mongo
Dylan Martin
God damn it you just reminded me that until like 3 years ago I had that fucking mug.
Parker Foster
I've always thought it interesting that Americans sometimes refer to them as 'sandwiches', which is technically correct, but to almost everywhere else they're just 'burgers'.
Thomas Turner
...
Easton Bennett
It's not really a technicality. Hamburger is the style of steak you put in that sandwich.
Brody Reed
>Americans don't refer to Filet "O" Fish and McChickens as fish burgers and chicken burgers
keep doing you guys
Henry Reed
True, but many countries simply call the whole sandwich a 'Burger' as well.
Owen Carter
The Batman mugs were fucking great.
Jeremiah Ortiz
Did anyone else watch these as a kid?
Luke Price
woops
Xavier Hughes
How bout these? I remember when my friend got one of these but we only played it for a day.
Hudson Hall
jesus, I need o sleep.
Angel Cook
They always only had Sneak King at my local BK, and it's the one I still have. Pocket Bike Racer just looked awesome.
