Just came across this really bizarre Bull (from Night Court) plush puppet in a 1990 Warner Bros. catalog...

$54 in 1990 money? What?!
Pabst Blue Ribbon X Godzilla ad in Times Square. I’m not really a beer guy, but I really like the look of that can… 👀
Yea, fair. But even for the price I wouldn’t want it to one day just delete all my stuff. Idk…
Isn’t the card shit though? Genuine question.
Here's a high-res scan of Aladdin Halloween stickers from 1993.

I always loved seeing how companies would repurpose already existing promo art for holidays.
Came across a pop up diner promoting the new season of Law & Order…
Yea I don’t know how this next movie is coming out in 2 years.
The Simpsons deal with AI in tonight's new episode.

Seems surreal, idk
Well this was meant for trick or treaters so 10 was a good amount.
Back in 1989, McDonald's featured Roger Rabbit on their Halloween certificates, and also offered a Roger plushie if you bought a book of 10.

Here's high-res scans of the Halloween certificate and the plushie offer included with the VHS release of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Burger King has a Monster Menu for Halloween his year, and while I don't really eat fast food that much anymore, I always love seeing this stuff. It's just really fun to me, idk.
I didn’t know Tony was into the Pumpkin Spice game too…
I think so. First time Mario got a new style in decades. First time Mario and friends got new voices. It was a very different game than what came before, it was like a breath of fresh air. I think it deserves to be up there.
You really find the wildest KitKat flavors in these Japanese supermarkets…
So I guess any version of Super Mario Bros. 2 doesn’t exist in the eyes of Nintendo? Ok 🤷🏻‍♂️
For no reason, here's photos I took in 2019 of the Detective Pikachu cross promotion with 7-Eleven where they offered a Mystery Slurpee with some character straws.

They also had some Pikachu-themed coffee signs because he just liked coffee in the movie.
Happy October ~ here’s a high-res scan of a Lunchables ad with a Scooby-Doo movie tie-in from 2002.
Been seeing a lot of people in red dresses running around the city today 👀
I know it’s a NYC tourist souvenir, but I kinda want this pizza rat car…
The Seinfeld diner changed its lights and it is fucking beaming!

You can’t really tell in the photo but look at the floor, it’s red. 😅
Like, maybe music docs or music themed movies, I could see that. Even if they don't show music videos anymore, go out with some dignity and commit to your theme.
Deadpool airing on VH1 feels wrong. What even is cable TV anymore?
You heard of a clutch bag, now get ready for a cluck bag idfk
