Something I miss from my childhood are collector
cups. Those things used to be given out
primarily at fast food restaurants, and were made of glass with beautiful painted
images on the side. Unfortunately over
time they stopped giving them out because the glass would break or the paint
they used was poisonous. They were then
made out of plastic and usually came in jumbo size cups. Unfortunately over time they also became rare
to see, except at movie theaters and places that sold Slurpees or Slushies.
Thankfully this year 7-Eleven released Zelda
themed collector cups to celebrate the release of Link’s Awakening on the
Nintendo Switch. They made three
different variants and were exclusive to 7-Eleven Canada. It’s nice to finally have something in
Canada, because I always have to import things from the US. Unfortunately 7-Eleven Canada wasn’t prepared
for Nintendo and Zelda fans because these cups sold out immediately and only
had one run. Fortunately I was able to find
all 3 cups and was able to complete my own version of the Slurpee tri-force,
lol. I’m glad that 7-Eleven worked with
Nintendo on these cups and I hope to see more of these collector cups in the
future (and hopefully they’re not limited).
