Title: mcdonalds record,, Goodwill Score
Post by: jcassity on December 30, 2009, 08:29:32 PM
found this at a local goodwill in covington va today.  It was inside some old records and cassetts / 8 tracks.

Anyone remember these?  if it sings the whole big mac ingredients then your a winner.  I was in my first year in the navy and barely remember this promotion.

wonder if its worth anything.

That cool to see something like that, I am guessing most were thrown out years ago. I am sure it is worth something to someone, there are a lot of people who collect McD's memorabilia these days. I remember several years back at a flea market there was a guy selling older toys from the happy meals for some good bucks.

I have a stack of old guitar magazines from the mid to late '80s. Some of them have notation for playing a song with an appended record just like that. I imagine the record plays a very simple scale or rhythm. There's a spot on the record that reads, "If slipping, place a coin here."

i have disney happy meal toys from back when disney started thier trend of all those movies back in the early 90's.  sealed up and new.

also have the neatest  one,, a magnetic base that holds a star wars craft.  the starwars craft has a magnet also.  the poles on the magnets are opposite so the craft hovers above the base.

Anybody remember when the BigMac song first came out and if you could sing it you got a free BigMac?  It was one per family, so my brother and I learned it backwards also.  One of us would sing it regular and the other would sing it backwards for two free BigMacs. 35 years later, I can still sing it backwards...I bet he can too.

I would have hated to be an employee back then... Having to listen to person after person stumble through that song... ugh.

I bought a Bloom County book back in the late 80's that had a record like that included in the book. The book was "Billy and the Boingers Bootleg". A major story arc in the strip was when Steve Dallas formed the fictional heavy metal band "Deäthtöngue" and then changed the name of the band to "Billy and the Boingers" after church groups complained about the band being unwholesome. The band lineup was Bill the Cat (lead electric tongue), Opus (electric tuba), Hodge Podge (drums) and Steve Dallas (lead singer). The record had two "Boinger" songs on it: U stink but I U and I'm a Boinger. They were truly horrible songs...

You could probably press 50-100 of those floppy records for less than the cost of a cassette... Besides being constructed of about six parts, the tape would have to have gone through a recording process...

Me, I don't remember the promotion...
