[YouTube] 1970s/80s Character Glassware

In the 1970s and '80s glasses were a popular promotion with restaurants and soda companies. This month McDonald's introduced a line of collector's glasses which inspired myself to make this video. I think my family had a few more than what I have to show but some likely broke and others might be in the possession of my parents or sister. Something I forgot to mention in the video is gas stations often had glassware promotions as well, though many of those featured the local sports teams and I'm focusing on movie, cartoon, and other well-known characters here. Also, some of these may have appeared in previous posts/videos.
