My McDonald's cup just bleeded on me!
My favorite daughter came by bearing a McMeal (Angus burger, fries & root beer). I polished it off right quick and have been nursing the melting remains of the root beer ice. The sides of the cup were wet from condensation so I decided to wipe the moisture off with a napkin. Much to my shock the napkin is now covered in blue/red ink and the designs on the cup are almost gone!

Is this bleeding cup some evil plot devised as a satanic partnership between McBigs and soap manufacturers? I noticed the cup paper doesn't have that waxy feel that I'm used to. Are non-coated cups more biodegradable?

1. They must be using water-soluble inks. It's probably more enviro-friendly
It would be better if they went to plain unbleached paper without the printing

2. Probably counterfeit
Like fake Gucci's or Levi's, the fake McDonald's are becoming a real issue among gourmets (or is it gourmands?).

A couple of cardboard arches, an abandoned gas station, and they're in business.

Caveat emptor

:hi:
