It follows the intentionally Dadaist adventures of a wad of hamburger meat, a milkshake and a container of fries who share a rundown New Jersey tract house. The promotion included blinking, Lite-Brite-style renderings of alien characters known as the Mooninites, which were placed in major cities nationwide.
