| (Right): A York Steak House ad offering a free Strawberry Shortcake miniature with the purchase of a children's meal for $2.69. There were 36 different minis to collect in all. Hmm...I wonder if any of the hard to find minis such as Plum Puddin' or Peach Blush were offered? The coloured picture to the far right was a mini poster on the flip side of the ad. |
