Remember a time (before the pandemic) when the biggest news story was that plastic straws were ruining our oceans? I was a barista at Starbucks when they first introduced their strawless lids. While you can still find straws in Starbucks stores today their new lid has been a fixture ever since. It looks like McDonald’s is following suit and testing out a new type of strawless lid in select locations.
It’s no surprise considering the company has stated that it is committed to increasing environmental awareness in 100% of its restaurants. If you’re interested in seeing what the new lids look like there are plenty of TikTok videos that will give you a sneak peek of the design. According to the company’s spokesperson the switch to a new lid is one of the ways they’re reducing waste globally. This comes hot on the heels of the infamous paper straws that are known for disintegrating in your favorite large Sprite.
