1 basis with closes, so that we do not have to produce a
2 separate opening and a separate close for each one of our
3 premiums or toys. So you will probably see here the same
4 open used for other different toys that are used at the
5 end.

7 So the first one was for a promotion that we had,
8 Barbie, small Barbie figurines and Mattell racing cars.
9 I might just use this as a sort of an opening slate. So
10 this is a boy and a girl. That means that, in general, the
11 hot wheel toy was directed towards boys and the Barbie toy
12 was directed towards girls.
13
14 MR. RAMPTON: Why did it have "non-price" on the slate?
15
16 THE WITNESS: I am not sure. I will have to watch the
17 advertisement.

21 THE WITNESS: This would be an example of a commercial that was
22 played in adult time, towards parents. We usually make
23 several versions of that available. Back in 1991, when
24 these commercials were done, we were introducing sort of
25 our value menu and, therefore, the price of $1.99 would be
26 included in some of the advertising in those markets that
27 they had accepted the recommendation that the total price
28 be $1.99.
29
30 There are other markets who have higher costs who would
31 accept the recommendation of, maybe, $2.09, and we would
32 make a version available for them, as well, to play in
33 their local marketplace.
34
35 Then, third, we would have one that says "at a special
36 price", in case there was no specific price in a particular
37 marketplace that we were using.
38
39 So this particular commercial did not have a price that was
40 oriented with it, but we would make copies of this kind of
41 commercial that did have a price with it as well.
42
43 MR. RAMPTON: During the commercial, did we hear words to the
44 effect: "This is what you can buy for your children"?
45 A. That is correct. We are talking directly to the
46 parent, because we want them to understand what kind of
47 activity or promotion is taking place at the restaurant.
48 We will continue.

51
52 THE WITNESS: This is the $1.99 version of the same commercial.
53
54 MR. RAMPTON: Will you fast forward it?
55
56 THE WITNESS: Maybe you would like to see the price? This would
57 be the $2.09 version of the same. If you would like, it
58 will be exactly the same commercial, but instead----
