Any pop-culture-loving child of the 1980s and 1990s who occasionally indulged in fast food likely has a few essential childhood memories. I know my home has a cabinet full of rare collectible cups from films like Batman Forever, The Lord of the Rings, and Return of the Jedi. Imagine chicken nuggets, french fries, and perhaps a special cup embossed with the likeness of some massive summer movie.

McDonald's clever marketing whizzes have introduced a new offering called the "Collector's Meal," which contains one of six collecting cups similar to the ones from the bygone era of cross-promotion. This move is undoubtedly motivated by the recent success of their adult Happy Meals.

The six different cups for 2024 are...
• Barbie & Hot Wheels
• Beanie Babies
• Coca-Cola
• Hello Kitty & Peanuts
• Shrek, Jurassic Park & Minions
• McDonald’s

The cups are available at McDonald’s all day and come as part of a Collector’s Meal that includes a cup plus either
• A Sausage McMuffin with Egg sandwich, Hash Brown and Hot Coffee during breakfast hours, or
• The choice of a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets or a Big Mac sandwich with our World Famous Fries and a soft drink throughout the rest of the day.

For a short period of time, the collector's cups are now available. I'll be honest: the Jurassic Park one kind of appeals to me. However, I would be there right away if these same Batman cups were brought back.
