McDonald’s red faced as cups featuring cartoon boy and girl ‘falling in love’ become VERY X-rated when viewed from certain angles

A NEW range of plastic cups by McDonald's featuring a boy and girl "falling in love" has gone viral after customers spotted that the couple could be forced into MUCH more racy poses.

The fast food chain launched a new line of McFizz drinks in Japan, with a boy and girl on each side of the transparent cup leaning in for an innocent peck.

But when the cups are tilted and viewed from a different angle, the innocent scenes “become a multitude of other intimate moments”, reports GaijinPot.

The simple peck on the lips, for example, could be manipulated to look like an oral sex scene.

Other customers stacked the cups inside each other to force the characters into less savoury poses including groping.

EXPLICIT DESIGN

The blunder quickly became a topic of discussion on Instagram.

One person wrote: "This is why we can't have nice things."

Another wrote: "Omg something so innocent became nasty."

While a third wrote: "Still got a feeling it's not unintentional...cos it's Japan."

UNDER FIRE

The fast food chain has recently been under fire for their new “eco-friendly” paper straws after it emerged they cannot be recycled.

Plastic ones were axed in all UK branches as part of a green drive — even though the fast food giant has said they were “100 per cent recyclable.”

But The Sun has revealed an internal Mac memo admits the new paper versions — hated by customers — are not actually recyclable and must be binned and burned.

McDonald’s decision to swap recyclable plastic straws for “eco-friendly” paper versions which cannot be recycled was today branded “a silly stunt.”

It dumped the 1.8 million plastic straws used by its UK restaurants each day as part of a huge green drive.

An insider said: “When McDonald’s introduced paper straws it was getting pats on the back for being environmentally responsible."

They added: “But it seems like it was a stunt to appease green campaigners because the things go straight in the rubbish. It’s ridiculously stupid.”

The paper straws have infuriated thousands of McDonald’s customers who claim they make milkshakes hard to drink and dissolve in cola.

The firm has admitted that its plastic straws were “100 per cent recyclable” but said it changed to paper because “more can be done.”
