Back in the day, if you went to Burger King when one of the Original Star Wars movies were premiering, you could snag one of the many collectible glasses that were offered at the time.
My family had a pile of these but, as what usually happens, many of them broke over the course of years of kids knocking them over, washing them and treating them like they are just glasses instead of pieces of art!
I only have these two left but they are fine examples of the kind of premium you could get back then.

I love fast food restaurant glasses! I buy just about any that I come across.
ReplyDeleteThey are neat! I think that these particular ones are top notch. The fact that they were well done back when it was a new thing to do is impressive to me.
DeleteI buy them too if they show up in Mexico. So far only a Burger King Tweety glass has shown up. I myself...Broke it a week later accidentely. ARGHHH!
ReplyDeleteUgh....thats a definate hazard with collectibles that are a bit fragile....I actually had three of these left over but when we moved ot our current home the Vader Empire Strikes Back glass broke...
DeleteThey just don't make cool things like these anymore for the Burger Joints to sell.
ReplyDeleteNope....quality items are not to be given away anymore!
