There never were any Burger Chef’s near me as a kid. I always thought McDonald’s invented the Happy Meal concept. Guess what franchise they kicked off with?

I didn’t even know that Burger Chef existed until recently, but apparently they were the first to come up with the idea.

I can’t imagine that that Star Trek marketing worked out too well for MacDonalds. Didn’t most merchandising for the first ST movie fail pretty badly? It wasn’t exactly the most “kid-friendly” in the series.

What’s more “fun”? Dead Rebels, or hideous head swapping transporter malfunctions?

Well, I never thought I’d ever see Spock in Klingon armor before, so that’s a bonus.
(Also is that one Klingon having a head-ache?)
