Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Getting to the Bottom of Gask-Its
David V. was kind enough to send a photo of the bottom of Gask-Its … no drill holes for mounting to the display case as is/was the case with Sidewall Shine & N20 Cola …
So clearly there was always going to be France Gask-Its promotion whether or not the US one went ahead or not …

not the car, but the…uh…character key thing,
some on flickr of guido, lightening ramone, tow & not chunk,
think their kinda cool, but i guess thats just the designer in me being geeky 😛
(MET: These are the only ones they officially released).
lol @ Not Chunk. He’s a tough one to find. 😉
but the drill holes make them submersible in the bathtub….
(MET: Good to know 🙂 ).
So what’s the going rate for Faux Wheel Drive these days? I’m thinking of picking up a second set of the new Kmart exclusives to try and trade for FWD and Gask-its.
Drop me an email on – joel5bass@yahoo.co.uk – if u need an FWD
we need some french friends…
mmmmmmmmmmmm french fries . . . . oh sorry, my bad . . .
Best Fast-Food French Fries:
1) Culver’s
2) White Castle
3) Arby’s
4) Wendy’s
5) McDonald’s
6) Burger King (usually give me a headache)
Oops, forgot Hardee’s between White Castle & Arby’s.
MMmmmmm…. Culvers….
Clearly, you’ve never been to Eskimo Joe’s (Stillwater, OK–home of the OSU Cowboys). They are the best on the planet! 🙂
But then, I’ve never had them from Culver’s either.
Thinking I may make a trip to Stillwater this weekend. Eskimo Joe’s just sounds too awesome right now…
Great. Now I’m starving. Thanks, people.
I’ve never been, but you’ve got my ear now!
My list was based on personal experience at nationally franchised fast food joints. 🙂
Mmmm, Eskimo Joe’s cheese fries are pretty good… haven’t been there in 10 years probably…
Might have to make a detour to Tulsa on my way to Missouri next month..
John,
Take a trip west and check out Good Times. Best fries by far among the fast food chains.
Try I-N-Out Burger (A west coast place) excellent fries!!
I was waiting for someone to bring up In-n-Out Burgers — someone told me they are hands down the best burgers in the world?
(MET: Will certainly say they would be hard to top as a chain … as for the best burger … well, that can be debated …).
In n Out = Chain burger numero uno….followed closely by Fat Burger.
Best Burger on Planet Earth? That would have to go to Don’s Drive In, Traverse City, MI.
I am…how you say…a burger connoisseur
(MET: Fat Burger good but uneven from location to location … when in NorCal – check out Val’s in Hayward).
Tommy’s in LA????
Tommy’s is over-rated and, honestly, kind of gross. Different strokes I guess.
(MET: I find Tommy’s is best at 2 AM … and when you have the constitution of a 22-year old 🙂 ).
Thanks for the heads up!! Always heard about it, but never went..
For all the hype…I wasn’t impressed.
Best fries though must belong to the Potato Patch at Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!
Best Chili by a fast food place has to be Nations in Concord, CA. It was 10 years ago and still have not had anything like it!
best burger; five guys n fries better because it’s never frozen!! tampa but i think they are national?
Five Guys ROCKS! They have been in Indy a year or so, and I am hooked!!! Careful with the “Large” fries!
Five Guys for fries and burgers, Where else does the regular size burger consist of 2 patties.
If you want one patty get the Jr size..
I’m sorry but here in Cali..IN-N-OUT is the BEST!!
See what you started. What happened to “stay on topic” LOL
Wasn;t the topic creme filled stuff??
Isn’t this supposed to be part of Kmart day III? I thought I read it somewhere…
No it’s not. It’s Rev N Go. Of course, until there is an official anouncement, will see.
What do you think Met, will we still get it?
(MET: Hard to say – we pretty much only know through September … will they do the TRU promo again but with Gask-its in the Fall? Maybe).
Met, is it true that this promo is only to French citizens, and only one per household?
(MET: Well, you need French receipts and a mailing address in France … there is a TRU in Cannes 🙂 ).
Does anyone have a Gask-its they’d be willing to part with?
I’ll sell you a box of Twinkies or Hostess Cup Cakes! They’re “creme-filled” too, but no gasket material.
(MET: They taste like engine lube so perfect … well as a lube …).
Excellent! How much do you want in exchange?
Boy, if only CARS had a “sell by” date, then they’d mark them down more and more as they got farther past the date………like the bakery outlet stores! That creme in the Gask-Its must go bad over time?
