Dark Lord of the Typos
Most of you are probably familiar with the Burger King glasses that were a promotion for each of the classic movies. Four glasses for each movie. They were made of glass, with the exception of plastic ROTJ glasses available in Massachusetts due to some safety regulation.
This past year I purchased a C-3PO Burger King ESB glass off of eBay. This glass is differently shaped than all the other ESB glasses I have encountered.
ESB glasses normally are taller than the SW and ROTJ glasses, and are tapered, or are smaller at the top than the bottom. This particular glass is shaped similarly (but not identical) to the SW and ROTJ glasses: consistently straight or cylindrical from top to bottom, with a large pedestal-like lip on the bottom. As I recall, the silk-screened image is shaped slightly differently so that it appropriately fits this shape of glass.
You can see in the picture a normal Luke glass, next to a picture of the offending Droids glass.
Has anyone else ever encountered this? It's not in Tomart's, and I don't recall ever seeing others like this.
