Ah yes, I remember these...

In 1979, a controversy was brewing at McDonald’s. The concern was over a small plastic utensil that had a spoon on one end and the company's name and those famous arches on the other. Millions of the spoons were in the company’s restaurants all over America, and most people were using them for their intended purpose—to stir coffee. 

But others had discovered an alternative use: The spoons were purportedly also ideal for snorting cocaine.

McDonald's also had the best dope snorting straws - fat suckers that would let you pick up a solid rail of crank in one good huff. I'd go in for a coke and grab a dozen straws on the way out.
