'The Great Cup Odyssey'
21 August 2024 52s
Tall orders.
by Andrew MacGregor

When it comes to the meme machine that is Shrek, how big is too big? The ogre voiced by Mike Myers has never been the same since 'Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life', a music video that went places darker than a putrid swamp in the middle of the night. So, er, why have McDonald’s unleashed a giant Shrek toy on the world?

To be fair, Shrek is not supposed to give viewers nightmares, nor is he the focal point of this global commercial. He's just one of several old-school collectables brought to life to promote a range of cups, with Snoopy, Hello Kitty, Beanie Babies, and Grimace among the colossal cast.

As kaijus go, these demand the least military intervention. What scares us even more is how much these collectable glasses will go for online!
