3	In 1989, Burger King launched a kid's meal program in the US and New Zealand called "the Burger King Kids Club Gang". They consisted of a group of children: the technology-loving leader Kid Vid, the sporty tomboy Boomer, the nerdy I.Q., the BigEater Jaws, the artistic Lingo, the CameraFiend Snaps, the paraplegic Wheels, and the dog J.D. In the 2000s, a music-lover named Jazz was added to the group. The characters have since been discontinued, though the Club itself still exists.
