Definitely not - two of the biggest McDonald's sets were in the mid-90s with the Flintstones Bedrock Mugs and the Batman Gotham Glasses

Let's go with definitely not. Ultimately, I think the harm is limited to the outer paint coating, so you're probably fine, but I'm not a doctor. Haha.

Let's go ahead and have you sign a waiver to attest to that while there's still time.

If it ever comes out that drinking out of the 1992 Dream Team cups were also poisonous, light a candle for me and my family. It's over.

Love is in the air and it's all thanks to the Big Ronald Cookie!

1. When they broke apart, it essentially ruined the entire premise, so a fair number went unsold/in the trash. 2. The McDonaldland Cookies were already well established as the cookies to get at McDonald's, so this wasn't something anyone was clamoring for to begin with.

You're the best! Thanks for the kind words as always. I hope your crew comes and follows along on my page too, thereby doubling the presence of nostalgia food and drink on their timeline. Now that's something we can all agree on!

1987 McDonald's Garfield mugs... packed with lead, cadmium and a whole lot of fun!

That’s hilarious. It’s actually a tear on the page I scanned, not in the original photo.

Introduced in 1991, the Ronald McDonald "Happy Meal Merchandiser" stood as one of McDonald's best salespeople for many years to come

These mini pennants are some of the rarest early Happy Meal toys. Curiously, they were a part of the “Safari Adventure” Happy Meal in 1980 - McDonald’s got better at sticking to themes as time went on.

DINOSAURS had the first national Happy Meal based on a prime time tv show. Each character came with a "dino-motion" remote/cable to make them move. These are one of the all-time best sets of Happy Meal toys and I won't hear otherwise. (1993)

Some of the finest stained glass McDonald’s ever produced! Which one do you like better? For me, it’s got to be the Hamburglar/Mayor McCheese, but I know Grimace is pretty popular!

Can you smell this image of a 1984 McDonald's or is it just me?

I saw it in theaters. It was alright - I guess I knew too much about the story to really get much out of it. I think the actors did a good job, but it was a bit of a hit piece on Kroc and that was only partially warranted.

I do have a couple of in-store appearance Mac Tonight autographs, but those are not Doug Jones.

I would love to, but at this point, I don't.

Really, the cover is *almost* as good as the signature.

Apparently, my McDonald’s collection story has also been picked up by a couple hundred local ABC news outlets. Here’s one from Toledo, OH that I was just sent. If you watch your local ABC news and see me, PLEASE record and send me a link. I’d love to see them!

Today is "McDonald's Day," commemorating Ray Kroc opening his first location in 1955. I have a lot of Ray Kroc pieces in my collection - one of the coolest is this autobiography, personalized to a lady named Monica, the inventor of the "egg rings" they use to make Egg McMuffins.

In case you slept through it, here’s the ABC News story… it’s a quick watch: www.instagram.com/reel/DXJe9Dg...

Sorry for the short notice, but EARLY TOMORROW MORNING (04/15), ABC will be doing a story about my McDonald's collection on "World News Now" and "Good Morning America First Look" - that's about all the info I have, so set your DVRs!

It's one of the ten or so most important McDonald's collectibles imo and it's still very, very affordable.

They gave verbal ideas in some meetings but never actually designed the characters - the lawsuit was because of the McDonaldland character's similarity to HR Pufnstuf and the ideas that the Kroffts had shared.

Due to McDonaldland's similarity to HR Pufnstuf and the insight the Koffts had already shared, it led to a lengthy court battle and the brothers were awarded over $1M.

Sid Krofft recently passed away at 96. Sid and his brother Marty were the puppeteers behind HR Pufnstuf and were asked to design McDonaldland and its characters before ultimately being left out of the process by the Needham advertising agency.

This McDonald's "McFortune Cookie" from the 1986 Shanghai McNuggets campaign might be the only survivor and is probably in contention for the oldest in-tact fortune cookie in existence. As its owner, I like to keep my bragging rights as niche as humanly possible.

It is displayed in a glass case with a couple hundred other high-end vintage McDonald’s pieces… does that count?

The Hamburglar is just gonna sit here and watch you eat those delicious McDonaldland Cookies (1981)
