Have you noticed the difference?

McDonald's has quietly replaced its iconic yellow and red striped straws with clear straws, sparking outrage among customers. Many have taken to social media platforms like TikTok and Reddit to express their disappointment with the new design. Some customers have complained about the flimsiness of the new straws, while others have noted a petroleum taste in their drinks. The backlash has led some to consider bypassing the lid and straw altogether and drinking their McDonald's beverages the old-fashioned way.
