MCDONALDS alientated a key demographic among its clientele: the drugs user.

Anti-drugs lobbyists  led to the spoon’s removal from view, it being classed as drugs “paraphernalia”.

“The term ‘drug paraphernalia’ means any equipment, product, or material of any kind which is primarily intended or designed for use in manufacturing, compounding, converting, concealing, producing, processing, preparing, injecting, ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing into the human body a controlled substance…”

One bhing led to another and the spoon was banned. It was replced with this:
