Who else remembers those cups?
Hah, I do. Being a picky eater I wouldn't eat anything more adventurous than fries, nuggets and doughnuts at McDonalds, so my parents would buy me happy meals just for the cups and eat all the horsemeat and processed sewage themselves. Did love those cups, though.
Did you go for the Stingray ones too? They had awesome little models on top if memory serves.
Stingray ones? Not sure what you're referring to. And McDs serves donuts? When did this happen?
You know,
Stingray, one of Gerry Anderson's stable of puppet-thesped TV shows (just learned the genre term is Supermarionation. Seriously), alongside Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90. Submarine adventures against evil fish people with a hot mute mermaid. It had a resurgence in the '90s, and the McDonalds cups followed.
That's the only image I could find, annoyingly. Anyway, the lids had various astounding unnatural powers, such as the ability to glow in the dark or when wet, and if I remember rightly the crab one opened up to reveal the interior in Mighty Max style (anyone remember Mighty Max? PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who remembers Mighty Max. I'm already feeling weird geeking out about my childhood).
And yes, McDonalds serves chocolate doughnuts, since Aspie's ancestors chose the ecological niche to lurk under bridges and frighten passers by with their violently unpopular opinions... where
are you from by the way, I was under the impression you were a fellow Briton.
