I love fast food promotional items, especially those that tie in to movies. When I was a kid my favorites were the ones that were also the most fragile – the collector’s glasses. I especially loved the Star Wars ones. All three Star Wars films had collectible glasses available from McDonalds. I even remember getting some and having my coke actually served to me in the restaurant in one of these glasses. In the 90’s the fast food joints gradually went to plastic promotional cups. I still have a lot of those, but my actual “glasses” are mostly gone. They had a tendency to eventually break, after all. We weren’t smart enough to just keep them nice. We drank out of them, and put them through the dishwasher, on a nightly basis.
One that I still have, and it’s in perfect condition I might add, is the Jabba the Hutt glass from the 1983 release of Return of the Jedi. This was always one of my favorites of the glasses anyway because Jabba was just such a strange character. He’s basically a intergalactic crime boss who happens to be a giant space worm. That’s just awesome! This glass show’s him in all his glory with his annoying sidekick Salacious Crumb seated in front of him.
Turn the glass a bit and you also get Princess Leia in the famous gold bikini being groped by a Gamorrean Guard. The gold bikini was, after all, one of the highlights of the film so it was awesome to have it on a drinking glass. Keep 
turning the glass and we get that band of space Muppets, Sy Snootles and the Max Reebo Band. This is the original three-piece version of the band, before the special editions turned them into a much bigger act.
It’s great when fast food establishments still bring out the plastic tie-in cups, but how I miss the days of the glasses. Since we kids wanted to actually drink out of Jabba the Hutt’s head, most of mine didn’t last. At least this one has survived.
