Description:
This collectible phone card celebrates the 40-year partnership between two iconic brands: McDonald’s and Coca-Cola. At its center is a prominent emblem featuring the number "40" in bold blue numerals, framed by the word “PARTNERS” arching above and “YEARS” below in striking red lettering. To the left of the emblem is McDonald’s instantly recognizable golden arches logo, symbolizing one of the world’s largest and most influential fast-food chains. On the right, the classic Coca-Cola bottle logo appears in black and red, representing one of the globe’s most iconic beverage brands. Together, these logos represent more than a business alliance—they embody decades of shared brand loyalty and cultural influence within the restaurant and soft drink industries.
In the upper left corner, a vibrant illustration of Ronald McDonald, the beloved clown mascot, adds a cheerful touch. Dressed in his signature red wig, yellow jumpsuit, and striped undershirt, Ronald’s friendly wave reinforces McDonald’s commitment to family-friendly engagement and community outreach. Opposite him, in the upper right corner, is a hand-drawn graphic of a blue, green, and orange campfire accompanied by the text “Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times.” This nod references charitable efforts such as Camp Ronald McDonald, part of the broader Ronald McDonald House programs dedicated to supporting families facing medical challenges. Including this camp logo underscores the card’s philanthropic purpose, linking the partnership to meaningful fundraising and nonprofit initiatives.
Beneath the central emblem, the card specifies it offers five minutes of phone time and is sponsored by the “Frank & Son Card Show,” a well-known event for collecting and trading cards of all kinds. It also notes the use of AT&T 800 access technology, placing the card historically as a prepaid calling tool from the era before mobile phones became widespread. Importantly, all proceeds from the card’s sales benefit the Ronald McDonald Houses of Southern California. This clear statement highlights the charitable mission behind the card’s creation, connecting the ongoing collaboration between McDonald’s and Coca-Cola to support nonprofits and fundraisers aiding families in need.
In the lower right corner, a small Premier Telecom logo appears, likely identifying the telecommunications provider enabling the card’s use. The card’s background features a subtle repeating pattern of McDonald’s Golden Arches, adding a cohesive and polished visual element to the design.
