Oh god, that last sentence actually made me laugh.
Imagine being in the business of manufacturing cocaine spoons, and McDonald’s starts just giving them away.
The 1980s … articles like this brought to you by the same people that orchestrated the “Satanic Panic” and tried to ban Dungeons and Dragons everywhere.
well it was a really convenient, common and free cocaine spoon… and available everywhere… it became kinda a thing, so mcdonald’s made their stirrers flat….
Idk what you’re on about, this very article makes fun of said satanic panic in the opening paragraph.
No, this is them making fun of mcdonalds
I remember those stupid things. The junk drawer in my childhood home had roughly 70 of them at any given time.
I read that as junkie drawer first. Figured you were a really well prepared drug addict.
A little little treat (they were able to hold like 2 drops).
That’s 100s of dollars worth on eBay right now!
That’s incredibly 'Murican. That you ate at any fast food chain that often to have so many. It’s disturbing.
I finally understand!
Had no idea PCP is an animal tranquilizer.
Did you know it comes in gallons?
Thought it was going to be this story
Incidentally that series also has an episode with Trevor Moore
Both of those were awesome, thank you.
That whole series is pretty good. Off the top of my head this one about a werewolf was memorable
Like ketamine, PCP was developed as a safer alternative to morphine in anaesthesia. Also like ketamine, that didn’t really work out well
(They are considerably safer, but patients tend to hate them. Pets and children both tend to get ketamine anyways because in those cases the safety profile matters more than the unpleasantness.)
Oh, i thought they where used because the would hold pretty much exactly 1g of coke so dealers used them?
A gram of Coke is a lot bigger than that little spoon
They do call them coke spoons in the very first sentence of the second paragraph
I loved them as a kid, I was sad they got rid of them, but I never used them for coke lol
The amount they held was perfect for one sniff. Now days you need to use a house key.
But what if your spoon is too big?
Better than a bleeding anus.
For the love of God.
What if it’s rusty?
Mandela effect spoons!
At first I thought it was about the phallic shape, but it was drugs.
Ba da ba ba ba McPenisspoon
They should have actually engineered the spoons to be even better as drug spoons. Tell everyone they’re engineering them to work poorly with PCP. But in reality, they got a lab full of drug users offering pointers on how to improve the product and people using them and filling out little ratings cards as they go. They only stumbled into this by accident. But imagine what they could have accomplished if they deliberately engineered the perfect PCP spoon!
Apart from everything else, that’s a great headline pun.
they created agitation, too, I see what they did there
Spooooon
McDonald’s would be a hell of a lot cooler if they were funding Satan worshippers. Can they bring that rumor back and confirm it this time please?
