anyone see the Challenger on the McDonalds cups?

41husk · March 12, 2007, 10:15:24 AM

I was in Chicago this weekend for a wrestling tournament, we were heading back to the hotel and looking for some place to eat. The boys wanted McDonalds, I am eating healthy so I try to avoid McDonalds and other fast food establishments. well I order a large diet soft drink and as I am walking to the car i notice they have a picture of a guy rubbing a 70 Challenger on the cup. It says the guys name and he is a auto restorer and global casting blah blah blah. It has no mention of the car but it is plain as day a 70 Challenger. I got 5 of them every kid with a large drink had to give up his cup. Did anyone else see these?

TruckDriver · March 12, 2007, 10:31:24 AM

I don't eat at McDonalds anymore. I don't like having my rear main seal leak

DodgeChargerNeeded · March 12, 2007, 10:35:06 AM

I agree with you on that. I will never eat at Mcdonalds.

41husk · March 12, 2007, 11:19:29 AM

I don't eat there and didn't Saturday but I did get some of the cool cups and was wondering if others had seen them are the regional? I will have to see if we have them here in the Stlouis area. I can get a full set for the Mopad then have some fine dining!

Ghoste · March 12, 2007, 11:23:14 AM

I have a 7 and a 10 year old so I am "persuaded" to go there all too often. I haven't seen them here yet, but it's been a few weeks since we went there. I'll check one day this week. This would actually give me a reason to go there.

41husk · March 12, 2007, 12:10:34 PM

keep an eye on your rear main seal!

Ghoste · March 12, 2007, 12:59:26 PM

lol Don't you know that no one with kids eats there? The kids want to get the stupid toy and go nuts in the playland while the parents read the paper.

Got a pic of the cup? I don't believe until I see.

41husk · March 12, 2007, 01:37:25 PM

I will see if I can get one posted up on here tommorow, but you don't have to believe I got 5 of them and I am wishing I had bought some more diet coke, it seems like no one else has seen these cups either.

Ghoste · March 12, 2007, 01:40:02 PM

I believe you. Now if you said they had a Mod Top Challenger parked in the lot, then...

Wheels of Terror · March 12, 2007, 07:44:39 PM

I did!!!!! I was looking at someone's bag the other day. thier little girl was giving me nasty looks and moved the bag. LOL

topduarte · March 12, 2007, 08:19:54 PM

Noticed on the bag last week (yes I have a 7 and a 9 year old so McDonald's is part of their food group!)

Guy was out of California some where?

41husk · March 13, 2007, 07:13:04 AM

yep! I have it here in front of me but I did not see the bag, as I only bought a drink. The guys name is Joseph, there is a circle with a *18 in it next to his picture. It says Joseph Los Angeles CA U.S. Muscle car restorer, colector and Global Casting Star. There is a picture of him waxing a 70 R/T Challenger with a website over the top www.mcdonalds.com/globalcasting It just kinda took me by surprise. What size does a picture need to be to post on here? I will try to get it posted.

i dont think mcdonalds is really all that bad i love mc ribs!! they also have the best fast food fries

41husk · March 13, 2007, 10:15:51 AM

It will probably be next week before I can get a photo up. I need to get a digital camera and learn how to post things!

Drache · March 13, 2007, 02:58:09 PM

Well I'll be getting McDonalds today and I'll see if they have it here in Canada... probably not though....

Ghoste · March 13, 2007, 05:48:55 PM

Took the little girls today for lunch and they don't in Ontario. Actually it was something about Vancouver.

Drache · March 13, 2007, 05:57:29 PM

Yeah nothing here either, just two guys Kayaking and an olympic symbol!

68chrgrwife · March 13, 2007, 06:29:01 PM

by the way it is a 73 challenger. If you go to the mcdonalds website you can read about it. he restored it himself. mc d's is doing a search for peole and their passions. maybe DC.com can get involved and we can take over mc d's cups/bags....LOL

we should get Troy hooked up with the info. Then he can get in touch and then...let the take over begin...we should all get Major discounts too...maybe Troy can get member cards, so when we walk into McD's we flas the card and they drop everything and cater to us. We get all fresh food made the way we want it. LOL Man that would be nice.....

71ChallengeHer · March 13, 2007, 11:41:24 PM

If DC takes over a Fast Food Chain at least make it a good one. That's right there isn't any good fast food. The cup thing is cool. I might have to stop in just to get a cup.

Wheels of Terror · March 13, 2007, 11:50:57 PM

I asked the cashier specifically for one. A collector's item if you will.

Brock Samson · March 13, 2007, 11:58:13 PM

any pics?..

mikepmcs · March 14, 2007, 12:00:33 AM

I want one, I want one, I want one......

Ok I'm really hungry for McD's right now but I hate the food there. I used to work there when I was 16/17 and ran the whole place(not real fun for that age but they beat me) I really did run it though and turned a ton of smack every night(thursday football days were the worst). But...(i could eat 5 burgs, 2 cheeseburgs, a ton of fries, and 2 large cokes every day)
I'm really a Burger King guy though(but that dude on the TV scares me like spiders....ok clowns too, now you know)

I'm going off subject, but anyone relate here??

That King guy is scary. He gives me the willies.

Wheels of Terror · March 14, 2007, 12:09:57 AM

Ditto. the BK guy is scary but funny.

mikepmcs · March 14, 2007, 12:48:10 AM

See, i'm not alone here. The BK guy is most scary. I bet he lives with spiders, brrrrrrrr!

If it is a 73 he has a 70 grill on it with R/T emblems. There was no R/T Challenger in 73, you could get a rallye in 73 and 74. and they have the kayaker cup at my local McDonalds. I wish I would have gotten more than 5 of them now.

Just telling you what he said....he said "my 73 Challenger from body work, to paint, to total restoration was all me". I dunno I didn't see the cup yet...I owned a 73 so I'll look next time a get a buck to go out and eat.....

41husk · March 14, 2007, 01:44:25 PM

no problem, I understand, but I own a 70 and thats a 70 on the cup.

Maybe we should school him in his car aor contact Mc D's to see if it was a misprint....LOL

41husk · March 14, 2007, 02:09:15 PM

Maybe he did a 70 for someone else but he discusses his 73. Who knows?

Ghoste · March 14, 2007, 03:39:41 PM

Maybe he changed the grille?

Drache · March 14, 2007, 03:43:14 PM

All this talk and still no pictures?

Who is bad? Why did you leave him at work? Just busting your nads.

Went to the Mickey D's here in C-Town and they had no clue.

41husk · March 15, 2007, 07:30:03 AM

sorry about the pics, I have to go to the media center here at school, have them take a picture and post it because I can't do any of it

They are doing a video presentation for all of the winter sports banquets, so that is a pretty big job. I did edit the wrestling presentation for them that saved them some time so maybe they can get to it sooner. I was told by the McDonalds manager said every Mcdonalds won't get every global casting star items. They are on bags and large cups, he said some McDonalds may get the bag but not the cups

He said he would check for the one I want and save me some. We have the Kayaker on our cups here as well.

sunroofsuperbird · March 15, 2007, 07:50:19 PM

Ok Here it is the pic everyone wants. it is a 70 R/T in the pic. mine is on a bag.

71ChallengeHer · March 16, 2007, 12:19:57 AM

I read the McDonald's site, too. The guys name is Joe, 23 years old and he says it's a 73. Typo, corporate mistake or he put a 70 grille and R/T badges on it.

41husk · March 16, 2007, 10:46:49 AM

yep! thats the same picture I have on the large plastic cups. just thought it was kinda cool.

mikepmcs · March 16, 2007, 04:06:42 PM

No luck with it at the one I checked. I'll try another McD's soon.

You don't want to mess with the Burger King.....Look what happened to Ronald McDonald when he did!

Skinypete · August 11, 2009, 10:02:33 PM

And to think I thought that it was a ploy by some McDonalds marketing person to get us to go there and purchase said food just to see if there is an Challenger on the bag and/or cup.
