I was at McDonalds for lunch and saw that they are giving away free glasses with any large extra value meal purchase. They're actually pretty nice glasses too.
This promo may vary by location, but I believe it's everywhere.
[quote name='bob_793']I almost got one then i remembered they had an issue with lead in the last commemorative glass set. Still may get one if they have any left.[/QUOTE]
I believe the lead was in glasses that had designs painted on them. These should be save, as they are just tinted glass.
I might pick one up in a week or too. I'm not into fast food, and def not not into getting a Large of any food besides pizza.
Does the Southern Chicken Sandwich thing count as an extra value meal?
I miss the old days. I still have some of those Disney Cups from McDonalds giveaway they did for the year 2000.
Nothing will ever beat these cups (not a picture of my cups but it's a picture of the cups I am referring to):
But yes, I suppose those Coke cups are nice. Reminds me of the coffee stirrers McDonalds use to have until people started using them to do coke and so McDonalds canceled the product. My dad still has a few of those.
These look like glasses they've done in 2009 which I liked and got several of them. The heavy metal problem was from paint on the Shrek 4ever Movie glass http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/05/business/05recall.html; not these ones. Tonight, I'll see if a McD's in KC has them.
--Edit-- I don't see this promo in KC. Right now they are focused on the McRib.
I got a some of the Coke glasses last year too, and can also confirm how nice they are... However, the greatest glasses I think I ever got at McDonalds were the tie-ins for the mediocre live action Flintstones movie... This was my favorite.

[quote name='Romeo']OP, you really got my hopes up. This promotion ended a month ago. I called every McDs in my area and was nearly scoffed at on each phone call.[/QUOTE]
It just started this week at all the locations here. I guess it varies by region.

Thanks for the tip. I go to McDonalds often with my Dad for a $1 McChicken and a $1 side salad. Maybe if I'm more hungry, I'll upsize and get an extra large meal and those glasses. I also still use them regularly from a year ago. I still have the Batman ones from years ago and the Garfield ones from even longer ago.
Called the one near my house. Apparently, they don't know if they have them or not.
