The ONLY way the drink will allow itself to be consumed is if it is with this one specific kind of straw. A ‘genius’ at the McDonald’s location will help you with basic installation. Each drink has a microchip designed to detect counterfeit straws. A genuine straw costs $125. Enjoy your beverage!

is meant to suck the ideal flavor ratio of 50 percent chocolate and 50 percent mint in each sip of the seasonal milkshake. Regular dumb straws are only capable of sipping from the very bottom

They're saying customers are too dumb to pull a regular straw off the bottom to get more mint. Way to lose customers. The new straw doesn't allow for freedom of taste. It's my RIGHT as a customer to chose between a bit more chocolate in one sip or a bit more mint in the next.
