You just saw a McDonald's commercial for a certain green ogre's glassware, and you rushed to buy the whole set.
They've been with you through thick and thin; college, your first love, your first job.
Every time you drink from it, it brings you joy.
It riles up memories and nostalgia.
Then, one day your friend comes over and looks shocked when he sees the collection.
You think it must be worth something, but no.
He tells you that your beloved cups may have been poisoning you for more than a decade.
Everybody has a cup they love, like this mug right here.
Out of all my mugs, this is my favorite.
This does not compute.
It appears to be just as unremarkable as the rest of your extremely conventional Pantone P179-3C gray mugs.
Why have you stated this mug to be significant?
Because this is the one with coffee in it.
Ah.
You believe you are humorous, don't you?
For me, it's this beautiful limited edition Yeet cup.
McDonald's had been bringing joy with decorative glasses for decades, even as far back as the '70s, with cartons, McDonald's characters, and promotional IPs on the delightful liquid vessels.
In 2007, McDonald's teamed up with DreamWorks to promote Shrek the Third, which made $813.4 million worldwide.
They promoted a new chicken sandwich, they introduced Shrek Happy Meals with talking toys, and they created a Shrek the Third line of glasses.
They were loving it so much that when the fourth movie, Shrek Ever After, came out in 2010, McDonald's had a Shrekstravaganza.
They had a new Donkeylicious green menu, a Fionatastic Happy Meal, and people were so ogre-joyed with the first Shrek glasses that they brought them back for a second time.
