Fast Food Restaurants Selling VHS Tapes

Anyone else remember this? What a bizarre thing in retrospect.

Which video tapes do you recall scoring?

I forgot all about this until you posted it. I think one of the Indiana Jones movies was in this deal or maybe ET.

I remember this vividly. Pizza Hut did a weird promo where it gave away X-Men VHS' with 4 episodes each when you ordered a large pizza and a 2-liter or some shit. We ate so much pizza to get them joints, which is not the worse thing ever.

I remember one Christmas, my brother got a Dances With Wolves vhs tape from a relative. It had a McDonalds sticker on the shrink wrap.

Damn. I have my copy of Ghost from that promotion. It has a small McDonalds logo on the tape label.
