Marc and I were talking about these classic collector items today. I think I had 6 out of the 10… which made me 60% cool in 1992.
As I was looking for a picture of these gems, I found a Dream Team drinking game from 1992… hahaha, I love the Interweb. Full game description after the jump
Olympic BasketBall Dream Team Drinking Game '92 Version 1.0 (C) 1992 Chuck Hellier Tune in the TripleCast Blue channel to watch USA crush yet another 3rd rate team that even Slippery Rock could beat. Although the Dream Team's plays will be exciting, follow the rules of this game to complete the experience. Collect all 10 McDonald's Dream Team Cups. Distribute cups to Drinking Game players. Assume the identity of the Dream Team player on your cup. Fill your cup as follows: Magic Johnson Margarita Patrick Ewing Long Island Ice Tea Larry Bird Sam Adams Karl Malone Kamikaze Michael Jordan Gatorade 'n' Vodka Charles Barkley Coors Lite Chris Mullin Gin 'n' Tonic John Stockton Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Scotty Pippen Coke 'n' Rum David Robinson Fuzzy Navel Get two bottles for the players who don't have McD's cups: Christian Laetner Miller Genuine Draft Clyde Drexler Heineken If the other team makes a free throw, everybody BOO. If the other team makes a 2 pointer, everbody yell "Aaarrggghh." If the other team makes a 3 pointer, everybody say "Aw, shit." If the other team misses, everybody yell, "Yay!" If your player makes a free throw, everyone else take a sip. If your player makes a 2 pointer, everyone else drink. If your player makes a 3 pointer, everyone else take a big gulp. If your player misses, take two drinks. If your player fouls, take 3 drinks. If your player grandstands, drink. If Barkley disses somebody, whoever is "Barkley" has to drink. If Magic assists somebody, that person has to drink. If Larry falls, "Larry" has to drink. If Chick makes a Chick-ism, everybody drink. If it's new (i.e. not Mustard or popcorn machine), drink twice. If someone mentions how International rules differ from NBA rules, everyone yell "NBA Rules!" and the last person to do so has to drink. If someone mispronounces a foreigner's name, call out the proper pronunciation. Everyone else drink. If you see the Barcelona Cat, yell "I hate that stupid cat!." The last person to do so has to drink. If the buzzer (that sounds like the 1st note in the Olympic Theme) sounds, everyone hum the next 5 notes. If someone talks about the rumor that Magic will come back to the NBA, "Magic" has to drink. If someone says that the other team is only concerned with getting the autographs of the Dream Team, drink. If they show a shot of John Stockton on the bench, "Stockton" has to drink. If the message "If you are watching this, you are authorized to watch this..." comes on, throw your drink at the TV.

Wow Wow Wow to the game lol
I had errry one of dem sahn! 10/10 (brushin off shoulder)
What a great post. I only remember having the David Robinson cup but for some odd reason it was my pride and joy. This just gave me a great idea… and you, my friend, will benefit from it.
i have the complete set in a box in my parents garage… sorry i never brought them to the PH
I think you need to lay off the sauce because there are at least 11 cups. I know this because I have eleven of them all but Laettner. yes that is right there is a Clyde “The Glide” Drexler cup and yes I have it.
I have all 12, including Clyde and Christian. All except Christian Laettner are in mint condition, since I never drank from them, but Clyde and Christian aren’t numbered in the series.
