    Oh god, that last sentence actually made me laugh.

    Imagine being in the business of manufacturing cocaine spoons, and McDonald’s starts just giving them away.

    The 1980s … articles like this brought to you by the same people that orchestrated the “Satanic Panic” and tried to ban Dungeons and Dragons everywhere.

      That’s incredibly 'Murican. That you ate at any fast food chain that often to have so many. It’s disturbing.

      Like ketamine, PCP was developed as a safer alternative to morphine in anaesthesia. Also like ketamine, that didn’t really work out well

      (They are considerably safer, but patients tend to hate them. Pets and children both tend to get ketamine anyways because in those cases the safety profile matters more than the unpleasantness.)

    McDonald’s would be a hell of a lot cooler if they were funding Satan worshippers. Can they bring that rumor back and confirm it this time please?

    They should have actually engineered the spoons to be even better as drug spoons. Tell everyone they’re engineering them to work poorly with PCP. But in reality, they got a lab full of drug users offering pointers on how to improve the product and people using them and filling out little ratings cards as they go. They only stumbled into this by accident. But imagine what they could have accomplished if they deliberately engineered the perfect PCP spoon!
