Pokémon 1999 Burger King - Togepi Kid's Meal Cup
This cup was released as a promotional item in United States starting November 8, 1999 and lasting through December 28, 1999 at participating Burger King stores. This followed the release of the first Pokémon film, which started airing in theaters a couple days prior. This campaign occurred during the boom of the Pokémon craze and would go on to be one of the biggest and arguably most memorable fast food promotions in the country's history.
Many times, places have more than just toys to promote a new campaign and Burger King seemingly went all out for this promotion. Pokémon appeared on various drink and fry sizes, there were several different meal bag variants, and the meal trays had slip covers with the iconic mascot as well. To top it off, Burger King and their famous cardboard crowns would also have a special Pokémon edition.
