“Problematic usage”. IT WAS USED FOR SNORTING COKE. DRUGS. DRUG USE. This isn’t Facebook, you don’t have to come up with cutesy euphamisms and self-censor yourself.
Leaving it ambiguous activated the reader’s imagination and elevated a TIL into a shitpost.
Oh that’s infinitely less disturbing than the images my mind conjured up
Whenever I go into a store and there’s nothing to buy, I feel bad walking out empty-handed. In those cases I tend to buy a wire coat hanger, to make sure the employees don’t think I’m up to something sketchy.
Yeah that’s the type of usage I was thinking of too.
“oh thank fuck I thought they were stickin it in their peeholes, it’s just coke tho”
…worse
Glad there was an answer. Because I was thinking like ‘did they break easy?’, ‘were people somehow fucking up stirring?’, ‘was the coffee so hot these melted?’… Drugs… Makes way more sense
I thought it was mcdildo. Well, i guess its just coca
colaOh My! clutches pearls Fetch my fainting couch!
Drugs are bad, mkay?
Drugs are neat, and you can buy them relatively cheap. And when you do 'em people think that you’re cool.
Is this a reference to a certain cover of a song
It’s a reference to South Park.
Oh fucking shit, you are certainly not rated PEGI 6
May i ask how exactly it aided in snorting coke?
Perfect for scooping a small amount out of a baggie, and the shape of the spoon made it easier to place it against a nostril and sniff.
Oh i see. I do wonder how actively involved the McCEOs were in the development 😄
A surprising number of corporate decisions of that era were made with the “Cocaine and Dartboards” decision making philosophy.
And somehow that method is preferable to the “how can we forcibly squeeze as much money out of the consumer as possible” method we have now.
Well yeah, at least it had the chance of being fun.
Maybe it’s hollow?

These were definitely around mid to late 80s maybe even early 90s.
Source: am old
I’m probably aroundish your age and I too remember them.
Thank you. I was born in '77 and remember these through my teenage years.
They probably got rid of them because buying straight plastic stirrers is cheaper than custom making them or something like that.
Once I was in my teens and handing my money over to the tobacco industry because that made me very badass, I had a lighter, and what you would do is, first, you hold the flame up to the point where the spoon meets the stem and then yank the stem off so you get a long skinny bit of plastic off it. Then you’d snap off the “M” at the top, hold your lighter up to it until just starts to melt, and then stick it onto the upside-down spoon thing.
Toy mouse!
*1979. Also mine had these into the 80s
Definitely remember them in Canada well into the 80’s.

Usage for what?
Nose candy 😉
And sounding right, Right?..
That sounds about right.
Have my goddamn angry upvote. I hope that sub goes under along with reddit

Pope-slapping
Nah, that’s what fish are for.
We definitely had these in Australia in the 90s.
Are you calling op a liar
Yes. A liar, a thief, a scoundrel, a brigand and freebooter.
A cad too? Perhaps even a ne’erdo-well?
well, i never
We had them in the UK In the late 90’s too (I worked at McDonald’s)
I am American and we had these in the 90s too. I wasn’t even born the the 70s and I have seen these.
I have one, it’s in my drugs drawer
When did McDonalds ever want to give value to customers. They took away the one reason customers visited their joint.
Or as a shrewd business, they could’ve simply sold these for a few bucks.
They took away the one reason customers visited their joint
But how can they function without bathrooms?
For a moment I thought there was a weird sperm on my screen.
Sounding? Sounding…
@iasip delicious nose clams!
Fresh from the sea!
