Everyone remembers the McDonald's McDLT, which was a fancified packaging of a cheeseburger with the fixin's in a styrofoam container, back in the middle-80's.
McDonald's contracted with Warner Bros. to use Pepe LePew to promote the product, recycling some old footage while having Mel Blanc dub in some new lines. The YouTube poster thought this was from 1986, but ye scribe is guessing it's sooner than that, like the year McDLT premiered, in 1984.....
I actually had a couple of McDLT's in my lifetime. Nice idea, but it was discontinued because it became environmentally unsafe. Besides, you can make your own McDLT at home......

My wife was a big fan of the DLT b/c it was the only burger you could get at the time without cheese, other then the plain squashed burger.
McDLT is filed under "gone too soon", because McDonald's did give up on it when they didn't need to.
