Macdonald's card
About the McDonalds pokemon cards in Japan - it's true! I bought a happy meal just to get one. >_< Although I don't think they'd be playable in a real deck - the card material is too plastic and shiny, and the back has the American logo and doesn't look like a normal card (I think? I haven't looked at the TCG for a few years...).
So I'm not sure whether the topic is referring to these cards or not...
