These were definitely around mid to late 80s maybe even early 90s.

I'm probably aroundish your age and I too remember them.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Thank you. I was born in '77 and remember these through my teenage years.

Once I was in my teens and handing my money over to the tobacco industry because that made me very badass, I had a lighter, and what you would do is, first, you hold the flame up to the point where the spoon meets the stem and then yank the stem off so you get a long skinny bit of plastic off it. Then you’d snap off the “M” at the top, hold your lighter up to it until just starts to melt, and then stick it onto the upside-down spoon thing.
Toy mouse!

We definitely had these in Australia in the 90s.
BobbyBandwidth@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Are you calling op a liar
Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 2 years ago
Yes. A liar, a thief, a scoundrel, a brigand and freebooter.
dimspace@lemmy.world 2 years ago
We had them in the UK In the late 90’s too (I worked at McDonald’s)

Sounding? Sounding…
Lightning66@lemmy.world 2 years ago
When did McDonalds ever want to give value to customers. They took away the one reason customers visited their joint.
Or as a shrewd business, they could’ve simply sold these for a few bucks.
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 2 years ago
They took away the one reason customers visited their joint
But how can they function without bathrooms?

"Problematic usage". IT WAS USED FOR SNORTING COKE. DRUGS. DRUG USE. This isn't Facebook, you don't have to come up with cutesy euphamisms and self-censor yourself.

Leaving it ambiguous activated the reader’s imagination and elevated a TIL into a shitpost.

Oh that’s infinitely less disturbing than the images my mind conjured up
Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Whenever I go into a store and there’s nothing to buy, I feel bad washing out empty-handed. In those cases I tend to buy a wire coat hanger, to make sure employees don’t think I’m doing something sketchy.
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Glad there was an answer. Because I was thinking like ‘did they break easy?’, ‘were people somehow fucking up stirring?’, ‘was the coffee so hot these melted?’… Drugs… Makes way more sense

Drugs are bad, mkay?
yukichigai@kbin.social 2 years ago
Drugs are neat, and you can buy them relatively cheap. And when you do 'em people think that you're cool.

Is this a reference to a certain cover of a song
MyFairJulia@lemmy.world 2 years ago
May i ask how exactly it aided in snorting coke?
yukichigai@kbin.social 2 years ago
Perfect for scooping a small amount out of a baggie, and the shape of the spoon made it easier to place it against a nostril and sniff.
ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Maybe it’s hollow?
