Earlier this week McDonald's announced it would be implementing a ban in every UK restaurant. The ban has already come into place, and many people aren't happy about it.
Posting on social media, McDonald's said it would be banning its plastic McFlurry spoons, and replacing them with a paper alternative. The burger chain wrote: "That's right, we're cancelling plastic cutlery and replacing it with a new sustainable, paper-based material in all of our restaurants in the UK & Ireland. We're doing this to remove over 850 tonnes of plastic from our supply chain a year, as part of our Plan for Change."
But while McDonald's has made the change with the best of intentions in mind, some people really aren't happy. Fans have slammed the fast food chain, and are worrying that their cutlery will now be 'soggy like its paper straws'.
