704.0. "Glass Garfield Mugs Wanted" by VIDEO::TEBAY (Natural phenomena invented to order) Wed Aug 12 1987 11:49

    I would like to have a set of the glass Garfield mugs that
    Mcdonalds is offering. All the McD's I have stopped at in
    Maynard area have the plastic. I have seen the glass advetised
    on TV and if some feline noter would pick up a set I will
    pay you for your time etc plus the cost of the mugs.

704.2Nashua only has weeks 3 & 4CLUSTA::TAMIRWed Aug 12 1987 12:348
    Having just gotten off the phone with every McDonald's in Nashua
    (and there are thousands!), they have the glass ones up here, but
    everyone is out of the week 1 and 2 mugs.  I can get a few week
    3 and 4's but you'll have to find the first 2 from someone else!
    
    Anyone out there with spare glass week 1 and 2??

704.3Mass/plastic - N.H./glassTOPDOC::TRACHMANWed Aug 12 1987 16:155
    I understand that Massachusetts has plastic and New Hampshire has
    glass because of the lead content of the "paint" on the mug.  Guess
    the 2 states have different rules.

704.4That's not what I heard...CLUSTA::TAMIRWed Aug 12 1987 23:2517
    Lead paint is illegal in all 50 states.  The manager of a McD's
    up here tells me that the distribution is done on a regional basis
    and whatever the distributor ordered, the store's get!  He also
    mentioned that there are two TV commercials, one with plastic shown,
    the other with glass shown, that both air in the Boston market,
    so that just adds to the confusion.  So who knows????
    
    I still have a complete set of the original McDonald glasses...the
    ones that were pulled nationwide because of lead paint.  I don't
    think they'd make that mistake twice!
    
    Anyway, this week's mug at my local is the teeter-totter.  If I
    can pick some up for some of you, send me a mail message.
    
    Muggingly yours,
    Mary
    
704.5Where to get plastic mugs?MAGIC::POLLOCKA woman's place is in the mall!Thu Aug 13 1987 10:257
    Can anyone direct me to a McDonald's that has the plastic mugs?
    I live in Nashua, NH and all the McDonald's here have only the
    glass mugs.
    
    Thanx,
    Paula
    
704.6Head south on Rte. 3CLUSTA::TAMIRThu Aug 13 1987 14:027
    Yes.  Head south!  The eastern Mass. McD's have plastic...
    
    If you've got glass ones you wanna swap, there are several noters
    out that who will swap with you!
