I remember something similar to these. Obviously, the UK may well have received something slightly different (licensed/produced via somewhere else, i.e. China).

Won a Doc Savage one from a contest several years back. As a kid, I think almost half my comics came from 7-11.

K-Mart carried those when I was a kid.

I had so many Slurpee's in the 1970s during the summers just so I could "collect them all". Bad thing was, they didn't last too long because of repeated washing. They've long since been buried in a landfill somewhere...

"If they ever re-issued these with the same artwork, whether in plastic or glass form, I'd snatch-up every single one in a heartbeat."

If you check the Previews catalogue, there is similar (but superior quality) glassware being offered on an ongoing basis.

About the only reason for me to go to an LCS anymore. I've probably got 30 pint glasses, Marvel and DC, like these...
Beer tastes so much better when you're drinking it out of a Spider-Man glass!

I've never lived anywhere near a 7-11. Never seen the cups other than in the comic ads.

Growing up, we had a store in the neighborhood called 7-11, that was not an actual 7-11.
The real stores didn't show up until the 80s, so I think I missed the cups.
I do see them at cons now and then.
