First, Miley tries to kill us with her jewelry, then Liza Minnelli with her rendition of “Single Ladies,” and now McDonald’s has announced a recall of 12 million Shrek collector cups, which apparently contained unknown amounts of cadmium. And here I was thinking the McGriddle was the most dangerous thing the fast-food chain has ever offered.
After this news, I think I’m going to head over to McDowell’s, where their movie tie-in merchandise will likely contain asbestos, but still. It’s different. Because they have the Golden Arcs.
zing!
Hey whats wrong with some chemicals, kids nowadays need to be so coddled, sheesh. You gotta love products made in China
Bet they have “Shark” glasses at McDowell’s!
& the Big Micks. love that movie!
Love a good “Coming to America” reference…
And dammit, I had a Puss’n'Boots one! BOOOOOO!
I always wanted a McDowell’s (since I am allergic to sesame seeds!)
It’s spelled Minnelli. You’re killing me with your ignorance.
Thanks for the correction, Kattee.
Hey, I liked Liza’s rendition of “Single Ladies”! It makes me smile.
Lizas Single Ladies sucked big time. My brother is gay and even he said it sucked.
Cleo McDowell: “Look… me and the McDonald’s people got this little misunderstanding. See, they’re McDonald’s… I’m McDowell’s. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.”
Look the fact of the matter is that the glasses are meant for display. If you actually drink and wash them, the paint fades. I know because I have some old McDonalds glasses that have faded.
I think I’ll head for McDougall’s [see: Malcolm McDowell in Time After Time].
Love that golden arc. Loved the dad chasing off the guy taking pictures who worked for McDonald’s. That movie is awesome still today. SEXUAL CHOCOLATE!
I’ve got all 4 glasses and I’m keeping them!!! (of course, they’re on shelf just for display – not to be used)
No kidding! I hardly ever take our kids there because I would so much rather make my own stuff and know exactly what is in it. We eat lots of whole foods, drink only water all day and take our Vidazorb chewable probiotics to help our bodies stay healthy. It is so scary that this happened and it makes you really wonder how many other unsafe products slip through the cracks. Ugh. Just another reason to not like McDonalds.
I have the whole entire set. Including the phamplets in them. Before they were recalled, i really just wanted donkey. So i ended up buying shrek and puss n boots. Then i went to another mcdonalds and they had my donkey. i bought him and fiona since i had the other two. I was about to drink out of my donkey until i saw the recall on t.v. This really sucks. I still have my glasses in the brown bags that they wrapped them in and still have the paper codes to go with them inside. I do have children, but they are to younge to be drinking out of glasses like this. I just was a fan of shrek because they like him and my fav was the donkey. Im so glad that my children did not get in contact with them. Is it wrong to sell them to a collector who wants them for a collection? I don’t want a child to come in contact with them. 3 dollars a glass is a fair deal with mcdonalds, but if i can sell them for more, my children would benefit. Again, would this be the mark of the devil if another child got their hands on these glasses?
