Show & Tell notes
Carl Sehnert showed three McDonald's Coca Cola
Glasses from Japan, where a large set was expected
To be made, but only three were distributed, and the
Glasses are scarce because the promotion was cancelled
Early and very few glasses were distributed.
Brian Callahan showed a SANRIO store Shinkansen
Train glass in a box and had a list of other SANRIO
Characters available on glasses at the Chicago SANRIO
Store. He also showed a display of pin-back buttons from
Restaurant In store Glasses promotions.
Larre Eckert had a set of three McDonalds glasses from
A recent USA promotion, dated 2002, but which came out
Recently in only a few selected areas. Larre also mentioned
That in the near future he will have a display of McDonalds
Glasses, about 100+ glasses, at the McDonalds at the
Greenwood exit off I-65, south of Indianapolis, IN.
Mike Vath showed a Mountain Dew "Do the Dew" color
Change glass, and the recent Ponderosa Pepsi glass from
The most recent Ponderosa promotion. He also had a Pepsi
Christmas glass that had a see through snow globe type effect
With a snowman shown inside the glass.
Andy Hensley came with a very attractive and unusual boxed
Set of 4 Hanna Barbera etched glasses, in a very colorful box,
Dated 2000.
John Foster brought a Pikeville Dairy Cheer glass with only
The blue color, the red color being left off the glass. Also a
1982 Dairy Cheer glass that was made before they put Pepsi
logos on the Dairy Cheer glasses. He had a tall frosted
Scenes from the Southland - Mardi Gras New Orleans - glass,
Probably from a frosted set. Also from the tall frosted New York
World's Fair set John had two different Circus glasses with color
Variations, with the colors being reversed on the two glasses.
Mary Gween showed several really colorful newer glasses,
One from the Titanic Ship of Dreams exhibit in Orlando, FL
And the other a beautiful Woody Woodpecker glass from
Universal in FL. Mary noted the Woody character was the
"newer" style Woody Woodpecker. She also had an unusually
colored frosted "Southern Plantations" style glass, probably from
a set of 8.
Dawn Avdichuk brought for display a single line Winnie the Pooh
Rabbit #2 glass in a color variation, a red color instead of the usual
Black color glass.
Brent Sehnert, Carl Sehnert and Mike Vath noted that the Hard Rock Cafes
in various Cities have just come out with a Pepsi Hard Rock frosted glass,
With the city name at the bottom, thus giving the Pepsi collectors a
Bunch more glasses to find for their collections. Several from Indianapolis
And Memphis were shown. They sell for $5.99 retail plus tax and gratuity
At the Hard Rock Cafes.
