I remember back in the 70ies, McDonald's, had the perfect coffee spoon to dip into your small zip bag, of your favorite tasting stash. THE MCDONALDS ‘COCAINE SPOON FIASCO’ 45 YEARS LATER: MINI UTENSILS MADE QUITE A STIR
(BRIDGEPORT, CT — February 12th, 2024) If you’re old enough to remember the white plastic “mini-spoons” McDonalds served with every cup of coffee through February, 1979, you might remember why they disappeared 45 years ago today.

I remember that. Don't know why I liked those spoons so much. Maybe because every other coffee stir basically sucks.
