I had to laugh at the "collectible" cup.

Although, I must say, I saw "6 Batman Returns McDonald's Collector Cup
Cups Lot Complete Set w Lids" from 1992 going for $25.99, and a "Honey
I Shrunk The Kids McDonald's/Coca-Cola Plastic Collectors Cup from
1988 going for $7.00 on ebay.

It's not. Not at the price charged.

It is an INSANE price.

*Everything* is an insane price these days. :-(

I can't disagree.

Well how about $30 for a KFC Krypto bucket? https://www.instagram.com/p/DZagxF1FVHe/

Kryptonite Kooler Review
KFC X Supergirl: Kryptonian KoolerNew KFC Drink!
Pros: Starry lends itself very well to blue raspberry. This clears the seasonal Starry Cranberry soda by a country mile; IrCOd love to see it hit retail eventually. The strawberry popping boba adds bright bursts of flavor that are almost too much to handle on the first sip; they definitely didnrCOt skimp on the number of bubbles in this humble medium cup.
Cons: I did run into a speed bump with this drink; my meal was delivered sans boba straw, which is pretty integral to the boba-slurping process. Luckily, I have more food-related paraphernalia than I know what to do with (including a J-shaped straw McDonaldrCOs released specifically for their chocolate Shamrock Shake), so I just used a leftover boba straw. Still, itrCOs worth noting the risk here: if your delivery driver isnrCOt diligent, you may be stuck without a popping boba delivery system.

That makes even less sense. And that is saying something!

The dipping sauces seem good enough. I don't care for ranch or
honey mustard. But for those who do like them, I'm sure they're tasty
enough.
RuthyeAs Sweet Chili Revenge comes across as good to me. My
youngest is determined to ensure Door Dash and GrubHub stay in
business (she got her mom's metabolism and can eat and eat without
gaining weight... Grumble.), so I'm confident I'll be able to sample a
bit of the chili dipping sauce in time.

No doubt. Keto has always been a high cost diet. But now it feels
like I'll need a second mortgage to eat :)
