Last year, McDonald’s came out with the limited edition Coca-Cola Olympics glasses from Luminarc. You get them by adding 25 pesos to any value meal you order. I never got one in any of the stores I order McD from. When my colleague Debbie went to Malaysia for a vacation, she came home and brought me one of them pretties. I didn’t use it right away because it was the only one we had but eventually I took it out of its packaging and fulfilled it’s purpose of being used as a glass.
Months later, I just noticed that it was nowhere to be found.
My dad broke it. As to the circumstances, I know nothing of. But it’s gone forever.
This year, the glasses are back. They no longer bear any of the Olympics insignias from last year, but they do come in six different colors.
Since these photos were taken a week and a half ago, I’ve already completed the collection.
They’re still in their packaging though, I’m afraid that once I start using them, someone might break them again. Haha. But it doesn’t feel right to just have them standing there on the counter. I figured I’d buy an extra purple glass which I will actually use, but when we ate at McDonald’s in Greenhills on Friday, they ran out of stocks on any of the colors.
Oh well. I know I’ll use them eventually.




na-complete ko na din ito!
at first and like you, i didn’t want to take them out of the box yet. hubby and the brothers said, “ano gagawin natin dyan?!”. oo nga naman. so now we use them, except the pink one
did you get all of your glasses from Greenhills? because you know, they never had any stocks of any colors — well at least every time we tried to buy from them hehe

Ah none of them came from Greenhills. Got two from the Timog branch, and the rest via delivery. hehe
