Static non-powered objects with FACES #29: The McDonald's coffee cup lid

Something doesn't sit right about the idea of McDonald's selling fancy coffee. If you want to be part of the aspirational cafe lifestyle crowd, you surely wouldn't choose McDonald's as the outlet to buy your cinnamon latt-u-cino from, would you?

McDonalds ought to stick to fizzy pop products for children to vomit up in the car home. That's what we think. This country. Gone to the dogs, innit?



"Here's a cup of McDonald's coffee with a face. I wasn't sure which tab position was most face-like so I included three."



"What I like about it is that the curved arrows around the 'nose' look they are outlines for his nostrils."



"I was less fond of drinking from it after noticing the face. I felt uncomfortable, pressing my lips against his" - Aaron.

If you go to Japan, McDonald's coffee is no worse than any other place's and it only costs 100 yen.

Who leaves the plastic cover on anyway. It's like admitting you are just a tad too retarded not to spill coffee all over yourself unless you narrow down the opening to something your mouth can cover. Why not use one of them 'nippled' baby bottles and be done with it.

Why'm I thinking of Zig and Zag now?

(Btw, Enn? You don't have to go that far, you could just use a Tommee Tippee mug)

"Aaron" clearly has issues dealing with his own sexuality.

i enjoyed a cup of macdonalds coffee yesterday, while out on a decorating job. i was apprehensive at first but i can report that it was as good ( or shit) as anything you can get from Starbucks and the like.

even the updated interiors felt strangely tranquil.

The top one is wearing a gas mask. Doesn't bode well for the quality of the coffee.

Isn't about time to see if one can scald oneself with MacDonalds coffee and win millions in compensation? It's a while since that last happened, maybe they've forgotten and foolishly have started making it hot again...

Brown face, wide nostrils - are McDonald's suggesting that we should enjoy drinking coffee out of the decapitated heads of our African-American friends?!
