My first McDonald's trip haul of 2026! A complete set of early 70s Alfred Gordon plaques, four rare Happy Meal translite signs, a 1971 Hawaiian shirt, a 1958 operations manual signed by Ray Kroc and a Ronald McDonald sign with a VERY early depiction. What's your favorite?

Happy 38th birthday to CHERRY COKE, a brand responsible for more incredible can designs than anyone else. Here’s some of their finest work: 1985, 1990, 1992 and 1996. Which was your favorite?

I’m excited to dig into this 1994 McDonald’s “Managers’ Collection” catalog and share it with y’all.

Looks like Uncle O'Grimacey is coming back for Shamrock Shake season this year. It's been nearly 45 years since his last formal appearance - that has to be some kind of record, right?

If you want to really class up your place, let me recommend the BURGERLIER (yes, that's the official name in the McDonald's/SetMakers catalog) (1980)

The first video game-themed Happy Meal was the SUPER MARIO BROS 3 set from 1990. It had one of the sweetest countertop displays ever… how could a kid resist this?!?!

I recently acquired this 1986 “McDonald’s Breakfast Radio” audio cassette. Now I’ve just got to figure out how to digitize this thing and we can all enjoy the sounds of… Breakfast Scat!?!? Stay tuned.
