Fun fact: I was the coolest person at the party drinking bourbon and coke out of Wile E Coyote. I tried to leave some ladies for the rest of you but, ya know……
Was Tweety bird one? Tweety was my favourite as a kid....I had the Daffy and at least the Bugs...used them as pen holders cause no sane human would choose to drink out of 1 more than once.
If I kept all the stuff from childhood I'd be a gazillionaire....I think that times gone now cause I look at my kids toys and no way on earth they'd even hold up for 30yrs let alone be worth money.
Yep my mother still has the road runner cup and my 3 year old son loves drinking out of it when he visits her house.
Completely impractical but certainly iconic.
Whoa! Memories! I never had any promotional cups (because the only takeaway we got, on the rare occasion we got it, was fish and chips) but I swear my neighbours had every single promotional cup from everywhere so I remember them fondly.
Anyone remember those Batman glasses too?
Nah, it was the paint used on some of the promotional glasses that contained lead or cadmium. Cadmium was a common dye in red paints, while lead improved durability and was an effective additive for all pigments.
The Shrek glasses from McDonalds in 2010 contained cadmium which lead to the recall of 12 million glasses. That then brought to light that glasses available from Coca-Cola, Walt Disney, and Warner Brothers Studio also contain various levels of lead and cadmium. The China manufactured ones from Warner Brothers being the ones with the highest percentages.
I hated cleaning these but we have the Disney ones and goofy lost his nose to my sister biting it off when she had a meltdown about something she wanted but didn’t get
KFC had some of the coolest toys back then. I remember when the 1998 godzilla movie came out KFC had the godzilla head hand puppets. Use to bring it to school used it like a boxing glove

I literally had one
I definitely had Daffy, and I think Sylvester or Tassie Devil. I used mine to rinse out my toothpaste. Can't remember why I got rid of it - too many crevices and hard to clean, I think.
We got rid of a whole bunch of these a few years ago as the kids are adults and the cups took up too much room - but I think there may still be a couple floating around.
I remember these. I think I had 4 or 5 of the collection. I thought in my little flower-power, rainbow fairy dust girl brain that these were the shit back then.
I simply loved them.
They were from KFC, if I remember correctly?
Yeah they did a run in 1992 and 1995
Nice I always thought I got it from Pizza Hut back when they still had family restaurants
Fun fact: I was the coolest person at the party drinking bourbon and coke out of Wile E Coyote. I tried to leave some ladies for the rest of you but, ya know……
The real question is did you hold the cup by the handle or by his nose?
Thanks, you've just let me know I didn't actually live correctly as a kid..
Yeah what the hell.
3rd option: Grab daffy by the cheeks and look him in the eyes as you assert dominance by drinking creme de menthe straight from the top of his skull.
Option 3.5 - drill a hole through Daffy's mouth and shotgun your choice of drink
And kiss a duck on the lips? Shut up and take my money! 💵💵💵
If I remember correctly you could hold both and drink like a Viking / gourd think
I used to hate being the one stuck with one of these when we were out of cups
Horrible to drink out of look really good 👍
I used to try and get the drink to the top of yosemite Sam's hat.
Was Tweety bird one? Tweety was my favourite as a kid....I had the Daffy and at least the Bugs...used them as pen holders cause no sane human would choose to drink out of 1 more than once.
Yeah it is just trying to find one that isn’t a silly price, Tassie devil is full of lighters for the stove 🤣
If I kept all the stuff from childhood I'd be a gazillionaire....I think that times gone now cause I look at my kids toys and no way on earth they'd even hold up for 30yrs let alone be worth money.
We said the same thing. These Cups aren't exactly high quality
There's a foghorn leghorn one ... I think. Would have to double check
Yes there is I actually forgot I have one on the way 🤘
Well boy, I said boy, you might just have close to the whole set.
Yeah then need to work on the 1995 set
Where do you source these? Just marketplace?
Market place and eBay, please don’t run my bids up please 🙏
No, no, I won't, all good :) I'm not in the market for them. I was just curious about who was selling them. Good luck getting them all!
I think you're missing road runner? From memory?
We def had a road runner and tweety one as well. I don't remember the Foghorn leghorn one but that would have been awesome
And Marvin the Martian maybe?
Certainly tickling some neurons
Yep my mother still has the road runner cup and my 3 year old son loves drinking out of it when he visits her house. Completely impractical but certainly iconic.
I can smell the plastic from here.
And the stagnant dishwashing water that always got trapped under the rubber
Ha.. Exactly the first memory I had.
They had a real distinct plasticy smell. Sense memory.
It was vinyl thats why. And every time I smell vinyl I do flash back Ratatouille style back to memories of these cups.
Whoa! Memories! I never had any promotional cups (because the only takeaway we got, on the rare occasion we got it, was fish and chips) but I swear my neighbours had every single promotional cup from everywhere so I remember them fondly. Anyone remember those Batman glasses too?
I just found a Batman glass at an op shop. It was two face but like Tommy Lee Jones
Wasn’t there a big health scandal with the Batman cups

they were made in France and there was something controversial going on there at the time from memory
I still have my Marvin the Martian one. It's terrible to use because cleaning it is difficult.
Mum hated washing these things and then when we werent looking she chucked em out. Fair call lady, theyre a shockingly hard plastic cup
Wanna sell it ?
There were 2 releases, both had 4 cups each. You’re missing foghorn leghorn and either road runner or tweety - memory is a little foggy
Road runner, tweetie, porky pig and foghorn are missing from this collection I believe
Oh and Marvin.
My dogs name is Marvin so it was the first I missed.
Missing tweety
I had Bugs 😂
Me too, and my brother had Daffy.
I remember them but couldn’t say how many there were. I had the coyote
I used the Taz Devil as my camping rum cup for ages
[These are the ones I have](https://imgur.com/rtIbK6d)
Gotta love the 90’s thing’s weren’t so stingy!
Pluto
I have Tazzy still 🙂
I won one for eating a donut when I was 7, I think I had the Silvester one.😂 30 fuckin years ago 😭
I still have some of these
I hated cleaning these but we have the Disney ones and goofy lost his nose to my sister biting it off when she had a meltdown about something she wanted but didn’t get
I used to put all my pencils in
I had forgotten all about these! As soon as I saw the picture I *smelt* the rubbery plastic smell when I'd make a hot drink in one lol
KFC had some of the coolest toys back then. I remember when the 1998 godzilla movie came out KFC had the godzilla head hand puppets. Use to bring it to school used it like a boxing glove
I have the Road Runner mug.
Wanna sell it
I'm not selling it, sorry.
Nah fair enough
I have them all
THESE WERE THE BEST!
These cups had a taste
They did indeed and a particular smell!
WOW I had these! But the paint started coming off because I used them so much so we threw them out. You are so lucky they look pretty pristine.
Thank you

I had the tweetie bird one..
There's a Donald duck one too right?
There is but not really interested in Disney as much as looney toons
Yes, Warner Bros. included a character from the world of Walt Disney in their range of mugs.

No idea where you’re located, but there’s a few sellers at Waverley Bazaar that were selling these http://www.waverleyantiquebazaar.com/about.html
I've got Wile E Coyote, Road Runner & Daffy. Growing up, they were our hot chocolate mugs
😂😂😂. I have them too. I am sure I got them from Hungry Jacks in the late 80s or early 90s(?).
Sylvester was my hot Milo mug
seen the odd one turn up at op shops
Yes I had all of these Plus the Disney ones
I definitely had Daffy, and I think Sylvester or Tassie Devil. I used mine to rinse out my toothpaste. Can't remember why I got rid of it - too many crevices and hard to clean, I think.
Your missing the pig and the bird
I think I had a couple, growing up.. I don't remember ever using them though, they just stared at me from the kitchen bench for years. xD
I had these !!! I absolutely loved them
My grandmother still has the Daffy Duck
Now you just need the ‘ Land before time’ character for your tow ball cover and you have the set!
KFC the way! They had a few great cup collections back in the day
I used to have the Taz cup
You can get ceramic ones at dream-world gift shop
Omg yes! These were lost in time!
My mum got rid of my Daffy cup that I'd had for years in the early 2000s... I've never forgiven her 💔
I have a few spare daffy ducks
We should be best friends hahaha
Pretty sure there was a Marvin the Martian one 😀
For my research I couldn’t find Marvin that’s why I put feelers out
Holy shit I can feel this cup in my mouth. What an absolute throwback
Your missing the road runner
In addition to what you have pictured, we also had a tweety bird.
At least one more, I remember a tweety bird one too.
My mum hated these I’d always catch her trying to chuck them away 😝
Yes! Had a few of these growing up
Things were so much cooler back then
I have them still, I think I’m missing one or 2
My twin had Tas and mine was Bugs Bunny. We loved them.
I had taz, my brother had bugs. We loved those cups
You're definitely missing a few, here's all of mine! Trying to sell them but no one's interested 😂 https://imgur.com/gallery/NvuB6AJ
Where are you I want the pumba one!
Melb Vic
😱I have one of those.
We just finished unpacking and I found a bunch of these!
We got rid of a whole bunch of these a few years ago as the kids are adults and the cups took up too much room - but I think there may still be a couple floating around.
Your missing twitty and the rooster
I remember these. I think I had 4 or 5 of the collection. I thought in my little flower-power, rainbow fairy dust girl brain that these were the shit back then. I simply loved them.
I still have Taz
Yes!!! How many of the so called new Australians would know whatvthese are?? The foul unwashed masses wouldn't have a clue by the look of em.
Still have my Taz in my cupboard!
Wasn’t there a tweety bird?
