Ah yes, the classic McDonald's cocaine spoon! I'm sure the inventor lives under a bridge somewhere now lol

Mumbling about microplastics and being a destroyer of worlds

IDK why your comment reminded me, but back when I was in middle school (late 90s) we had an anti drug guest speaker. One of those ones where they were former addicts trying to scare you out of trying drugs. During the Q&A, someone asked him a question and that got him onto how plastic water bottles were super bad for you and you should never drink out of plastic because you’re ingesting tiny plastic particles. I remember we were laughing at him while administration was trying to shoo him off the stage.

Now we just kinda shrug when told we’re ingesting a credit card worth of plastic every week, lol.

I'm not sure why you guys have such a hard time figuring out that a stirrer for coffee should have a little extra surface area to move the coffee around.

I think you didn't know people used it as a coke spoon. Lol.

[-] Ubermeisters@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago

People used anything they can get their mitts on as coke spoons this isn't unique to McDonald's but it HAS happened a fee times to several of thier disposable wares.

I've watched someone do bumps off iPhone chargers and swords, whatever you design someone will find a way to do coke off it

When you're a coke head you see the world in terms of surfaces...

[-] _cerpin_taxt_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah but this disposable item in general seemed to be custom made for that purpose lmao

Good to know

[-] Tb0n3@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I know what people used it for but it doesn't negate the fact that it's design just so happened to be useful for that, not that it was designed that way on purpose.

All I've ever seen are those little tiny straws they call swizzle sticks. I would use them like straws when I was a kid. Super small, super hard to suck through straws.
