Holy cow, what a very specific box for a very short event. I can’t believe a box exists in this condition. Incredible!

Holy crap did you just unlock a core memory!
Yes- I remember it! I remember eating one of these kids meals at TB with both my parents. Heck I even remember what booth in the restaurant we sat in that particular day- oddly enough something we never brought food home or did drive through back then- we ALWAYS ate inside.
I also remember the glasses you have in the second pic- pity the pic was cut off. The glasses were shaped like a comet and the side that was cut off had the “tail” end. It was so cool- looked like flames. That was the “toy” for the box. There was like planets and such on the box and they were in 3D print to use with the glasses.
I also remember it being overcast and being bummed out as crap I never got to see the comet despite trying.
I also remember a couple years before they had those Star Trek III The Search for Spock glasses and I ended up getting two of them.
My favorite boxes though were the 1982 Spaceship Happy meals where the box was shaped like a UFO and had glow in the dark stickers for you to affix so the windows glowed. I was mesmerized.
My family was making an out of state move that year Texas to Tennessee and my parents bought me so many of those space ships as we drove the moving truck back and forth several times.
Man. Not a care in the world, and growing up with the coolest toys. Take me back!
Thanks for this, I haven’t thought of this obscure moment in time since 1986 and you brought it all back with this one post.

I’d be bummed about how old I am if I remembered that
