Oh noooo!
The enviros have hit McDonald’s!
Here’s this bit of green news from the home of the Happy Meal as reported by Fox Business: https://www.foxbusiness.com/
McDonald’s ditching one of its most recognizable utensils
Hollowed-out McFlurry spoon is being swapped for a sundae spoon
FB reports:
“McDonald’s is getting rid of one of its most recognizable utensils in a bid to become more sustainable – the hollowed-out, square-shaped McFlurry spoon.
The fast-food chain said “True McFlurry fans know the spoon doubles as a spindle, which restaurant crews use to mix the perfect amount of sweet toppings into our creamy soft serve.”
However, starting this month, McDonald’s said its restaurants will be switching to a “reusable spindle that’s swapped out and cleaned after each McFlurry is made” and will be serving the desserts with a “smaller black spoon that uses less plastic (the same one that comes with our Sundaes).”
“This small change will help reduce single-use plastic waste in restaurants – while giving customers the same delicious McFlurry they know and love. That’s a win-win in our book,” the company added.
The company said the switch is part of how it is redesigning some of its most “iconic products” to cut back on unnecessary waste and transition to more sustainable materials.
‘So while you may not see our famous spindle-spoon in your McFlurry anymore, know that it’s still working hard for you (and the planet!) behind the counter,’ McDonald’s also said.”
So there you go.
The ever so unsubtle move of yet another corporate giant to go woke and please the greenies.
Shocking.
Not.
