The “Brian” part of Q101’s Brian & Justin and local fast food enthusiast Brian Haddad is worried about a change coming to the Golden Arches. McDonald’s has unveiled a strawless lid in some markets for cold beverages only. The company said the lids “help optimize our packaging and eliminate the use of small plastics.”
When speaking to Q101’s digital team, Haddad expressed his fears about the change, noting that with the straw, their drinks “hit different”. He acknowledged that this could be an effort to “save the turtles and sh*t in the ocean”, but he doesn’t like the idea of turtles inconveniencing him.
By the end of 2025, McDonald’s is aiming for “100% certified, recycled or renewable materials.”
