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 10 months 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!

Definitely remember them in Canada well into the 80’s.

We definitely had these in Australia in the 90s.
BobbyBandwidth@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Are you calling op a liar
Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
Yes. A liar, a thief, a scoundrel, a brigand and freebooter.

I am American and we had these in the 90s too. I wasn’t even born the the 70s and I have seen these.
dimspace@lemmy.world 10 months ago
We had them in the UK In the late 90’s too (I worked at McDonald’s)

Sounding? Sounding…
Lightning66@lemmy.world 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago
May i ask how exactly it aided in snorting coke?
yukichigai@kbin.social 10 months 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.
