McDonald's is teaming up with FIFA for the release of their new World Cup Meal! Featuring a Big Mac/10 Piece McNuggets, Fries and a Collectible Cup, I find out if this meal is worth it or not!

I had to laugh at the "collectible" cup.

Although, I must say, I saw "6 Batman Returns McDonald's Collector Cup
Cups Lot Complete Set w Lids" from 1992 going for $25.99, and a "Honey

1988 going for $7.00 on ebay.

It's not. Not at the price charged.

For a fan of The World Cup, it may be collectable. But don't
expect it to increase in value. The grand kids may be able to dump it
for $3.00.

Although, I must say, I saw "6 Batman Returns McDonald's Collector Cup

Being as close to MIB as possible, I'm surprised at the low
price.

US$7, that's nothing. The old Star Wars cups given away at fast food restaurants in the 1970s and 1980s are priced at around US$25 - US$20
each. Admittedly more popular movies, but they're only plastic cups
that were free.

There are some ridiculous prices around on auctions these days - people
are getting greedier and greedier. A couple of items on the local New
Zealand auction website that come through in a junk email yesterday:

- Two auctions for 150 Star Wars Topps bubble gum cards (one red cards
and one blue cards) from the 1980s, with a 'buy now' price of around
US$420 ... and they aren't even complete sets.

- A "complete" collection of 112 Star Wars Black Series figures with a
'buy now' price of nearly US$7,000!!

I sometimes look up the auctions for cars like mine, and ridiculously
they have starting bids of at least twice what I paid for mine ... and
I bought it 30 years ago!!

Well how about $30 for a KFC Krypto bucket?

Kryptonite Kooler Review
KFC X Supergirl: Kryptonian KoolerNew KFC Drink!
Pros: Starry lends itself very well to blue raspberry. This clears
the seasonal Starry Cranberry soda by a country mile; I?d love to

see

it hit retail eventually. The strawberry popping boba adds bright
bursts of flavor that are almost too much to handle on the first sip;
they definitely didn?t skimp on the number of bubbles in this hum

ble

medium cup.

Cons: I did run into a speed bump with this drink; my meal was
delivered sans boba straw, which is pretty integral to the
boba-slurping process. Luckily, I have more food-related
paraphernalia than I know what to do with (including a J-shaped straw McDonald?s released specifically for their chocolate Shamrock Sha

ke),

so I just used a leftover boba straw. Still, it?s worth noting the
risk here: if your delivery driver isn?t diligent, you may be stu

ck

without a popping boba delivery system.
