Week of Aug. 22: Remembering a Classic McDonald's Olympic Ad From 1988

I've been looking for a classic McDonald's ad from 1988 online all week, but haven't found it.

The ad, shown before and during the Seoul Olympics, showed "Future Olympic Hopefuls" - babies presented for weighlifting (a boy lifting a box), Greco-Roman Wrestling (a boy wrestling his teddy bear), equestrian events (a little girl riding one of the rides at a McDonald's) and discus (a little boy sitting in his high chair and throwing his plate on the floor).

If anyone knows an Internet location for this precious ad, please let me know. (Sadly, it isn't on YouTube, at least not yet.)

See you next week. Until then, happy viewing!
