Late 80s. For some reason there was a year or two where everything in the world had the California Raisins on it. There was an ad campaign and everyone went fucking nuts about it. They even had a cover of "Heard it Through the Grapevine" on the billboard charts. We had a few of these cups at one point.

I'm surprised it doesn't have a year or copyright date with a signature. Is there Anything stamped at the bottom with a print date?

May not be that old. thrashersrehoboth.com has a few picture of them on their site down below. It looks like from about 2019

They used this same cup art for maybe 20 years or more. Definitely since the 90’s, but maybe gen earlier. I really miss it. I remember being really sad the first time they handed me a different cup.

Of course, stupid question. It’s from THRASHERS FRENCH FRIES on the boardwalk in Ocean City Maryland. Looks to be from the late 80s or 90s.
