During the 1984 Olympics, in the US, McDonald's ran a promo where you got a peel off for an event if you bought a large fry, coke or the six piece nuggets. If a US athlete got a medal you won a food prize, potentially multiple prizes if the US placed multiple athletes.
This was the year the soviet bloc withdrew as it was in the US. The US won some absurd number of medals.
The other thing is the prize was always free food, which also had the peel offs. So you could buy a large fry and have a really good chance of completing your meal.
Now you'll see the free food consolation prizes are always for something that doesn't result in another ticket.
