TwitterFacebook

If you’re going to pull a prank, you might as well do it right.

The fake McDonald’s poster that 21-year-old student Jevh Maravilla shared on Twitter on Monday is the absolute perfect example of this.

“I noticed there was a blank wall at McDonald’s so I decided to make this fake poster of me and my friend,” wrote Maravilla. “It’s now been 51 days since I hung it up.”

McDonald’s is launching its own currency because of course

TwitterFacebook

The Big Mac is turning 50 soon, and McDonald’s is going to celebrate the way everything is celebrated in 2018: by releasing their own currency — though it comes with a twist.

The MacCoin will be redeemable for a free Big Mac at “participating locations” across 50 countries. As for how to actually procure a MacCoin, though, the company is a wee bit more vague in a press release: “a variety of exciting giveaways with each participating country celebrating the arrival of the MacCoin in its own unique way.”  Read more…

McDonald’s is ditching plastic straws in the UK and Ireland

TwitterFacebook

The days of sipping your milkshake through a plastic straw at McDonald’s are almost over — at least in the UK and Ireland.

The fast food giant announced on Thursday that they’ll be making the switch to paper straws in September this year.

The decision comes in the wake of the UK government announcing plans to ban the sale of plastic straws, and other single-use plastic items, as part of an effort to reduce waste and help the environment.

“Reflecting the broader public debate, our customers told us they wanted to see a move on straws but to do so without compromising their overall experience when visiting our restaurants,” said McDonald’s UK and Ireland CEO Paul Pomroy. “Over the past few months we’ve been working closely with supplier partners to find a solution that works both for our customers, and that the supply is there given the size of our business.

Cold. Blooded. Like a French fry dipped in a creamy Frosty. Back in 2015, complaints about broken McDonald’s ice cream machines were so common, they became a meme. Some dissatisfied customer even made an app to keep track of which machines were actually working.  Read more…
