In 1979 the fast food chain McDonald's ran a promotional ad that tied in the release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture with their Star Trek Meal. The offer was valid at participating McDonald's and lasted until February 1980 or until supplies lasted.
The advertisement was presented by an actor dressed as a Klingon speaking in Klingonese, and a voice-over announcer promoting the Happy Meal consisting of a regular hamburger, fries, soft drink, a McDonaldland cookie sampler, and a Star Trek prize. The Happy Meal's came in five different boxes depicting comic strip action scenes from The Motion Picture, as well as jokes and games. Games on the box included mazes and various puzzles. Jokes included such classics as:
- Q. What's most important when transporting "Bones"?
- A. To get the real McCoy.
The prize included with the meal consisted of a black or gray plastic "video communicator" that, when assembled, could be used to scroll the comic strip that was included. Comic art was created by artist Ron Villani.
