As anybody remember this commercial back in 1987? Here is a short description from X-Entertainment's website:
The best of the McDonald's Christmas commercials are already splattered around X-E, but here's a new one. The fast food giants often devised special holiday promotions to ensure a wealth of December cheeseburger sales, and in 1987, the deal was this: spend a few bucks on McDonald's gift certificates, and you'd take home either "Gus" or "Jacques," the mice from Cinderella. The plush dolls were ornament sized, noted by the tree-hanging loops of string busting out of their scalps, noted again by the fact that they're really really small. I've always been more of a fan of the gift certificates themselves, allegedly perfect stocking stuffers, with Birdie taking Abe's place on the five dollar McBill. The monetary value of 'em was unimportant -- moreover, the certificates were free tickets to McDonald's. So long as we had them, Papa couldn't say no.
Here is the commercial. That brings back memories.
