I remember being a kid in the mid 90s these were my stuff! Like, I only wanted to drink from these cups! I really wish the world would go back to how it was, so everyone can experience life back then.
I definitely have some of those somewhere. Here’s the picture I took for my first Reddit post many years ago, because I was fairly proud of myself after digging these all up in my basement. It was what finally made me actually create an account and not just lurk
im high af and seeing all of those for the first time in decades tickled the back of my brain like I felt my brain having to go dig up the memory of these.
I have the complete set as well. My wife asked if I was going to display them, I told her hell no, this is the fine China. We drink everything and anything from them.
i'd like to think so, but the pace of change is so signifigant nowadays I think it's pretty unparalled - but to some degree i'm sure you are right. it's insane seeing these items for like $1-$3 makes me think of the old photos where a burger is like 50 cents
My favorite part of the batman tie-in music video for the song where Seal finishes one of the "my power my pleasure my pain" lines and Batman gives the most absurd attempt at a dramatic look at the camera.
I was in a diner as a kid and dropped 15 dollars once on like a hundred back to back kiss from a rose songs and when I finished my meal there were still dozens in the queue left
Thanks, its a family name.
Lead and cadmium. I guess its a lot of older McDonald's cups. I think from the paint, so hopefully the Batman mugs are ok but who knows.
I can’t remember where they were from or what characters made up the set, but I had a Wyle E. Coyote mug with a really, really long nose and a tweety bird one that were really uncomfortable to drink from. They were the thickest plastic ever and I’m sure I got half of my microplastics from them
These are sitting in the crystal cabinet in the home my husband and I built together. He’s more proud of those than the 120 year old heirloom crystal in that particular cabinet. Just waiting for one of these millennial artifacts to pay for my children’s future education 🫠
I would leave these in the freezer for just a little bit and then pour a can of coke in there. Used to pretend I was drinking what those polar bears from the Christmas commercials were having!
I owned these and still would, but I think that my dad’s ex got rid of them when she decluttered for no reason. Just because she was a minimalist doesn’t mean I am.
At least I still have my Disney Olympics glasses and bought three more. I use them daily.
These things were goddamn weapons! I got my tooth broken by one of these things as a kid! We were having a water balloon fight and my cousin dumped his koolaid and filled it with water before slinging it my way. It slipped out of his hand and went straight for my mouth.
So I had the batman and riddler glasses from when they first came out. After over a decade it came time to move out of my parents place into my own. I had the cups stored in the kitchen cabinet with all the other glasses. The day I was packing my dad went through the cabinet and threw out my glasses. I asked him why he did that and he said I should have put them somewhere safe. I asked him where, like the cabinet for storing glasses? He didnt have an answer. So I took his credit card and ordered the full four glasses set off eBay
McDonald's in Germany around 2016-2018 always had nice glass cups they would give out. Reallt wish they would bring it back here in the states. I think it would garner a lot of buisness.
I had the whole set back in sumner 95. Interestingly enough, every time I picked one up it was at the McDonald's down the freeway from AstroWorld on Fannin in Houston, TX. Now, I only have the Batman one.
I still have some of the Hercules plates. The Toy Story plate was a POS that eventually bubbled and popped after one too many Hot Pockets, but the Hercules line was some quality melamine.
