“Gojira……Gojira…..Gojiraaaaaaa!”
Whether you liked the 1998 film starring Matthew Broderick or not, you can’t deny that the Taco Bell/Godzilla tie-in items were pretty cool. While I didn’t personally go for any of the toys, I did make sure that I got my hands on all of the cups and that wonderful cup holder. I believe that it was actually supposed to fit into your car’s cup holder, but I never used it for that. Instead, I used it at home to sip my favorite beverages.
The toys were fine enough. From a disc-shooting “Jet Shooter” to a flying “Escape Flight Helicopter,” the toys were made at a slightly higher standard than one would expect from Taco Bell in the late 1990’s. That cup holder, however, was pure perfection. Just look at it in the photo below. You cannot deny how cool it is!
Between five different moves between 1998 and 2009 or so, I managed to lose my cup holder. I really miss it. It was a very unique item to own. I lost all of the cups as well, most likely tossed out by my wife as she attempted to make me grow into full adulthood. Twenty-four years of married bliss later, I’m still a big ol’ kid.
Did you have the Godzilla cup holder or any of the toys? Let me know in the comments section.
Thanks for checking out my post!
