You can’t really call it ice cream (too much edible plastic). On the menu it’s named ‘cone’, ‘shake’, and ‘sundae’.

- tamaharbor 6y agoYou are not going to change my mind. I was in Missouri in 1979 and they apparently had strict labeling laws. On the McDonalds Menu it said “Cone (contains 17% edible plastic)”.
- ryan93 6y agoWhat do Missouri’s laws in 1979 have to do with McDonald’s?
- kilburn 6y agoMissouri's laws were stricter than the norm -> McDonals had to explicitly put "(contains 17% edible plastic)” in the menu there -> the poster you are replying to saw that -> said poster states that no fact checking website is going to change his mind (given he saw edible plastic as an ingredient in official menus back in the day)
- wk_end 6y agoYour mind might be unchangeable, but if you want to change others’ minds in a world where memory is unreliable and anonymous internet posters even more so, you’ll need something more than a claim of a 40+ year old recollection of the McDonalds menu in Missouri to beat Snopes for credibility.
- ipaddr 6y agoI 100% believe him. What we define as plastic may have changed. Perhaps we are all eating things that were formally classified as plastic. Perhaps someone was making a joke on their way to quitting. I never discount a person or a users memory. They are usually right over my assumption. When I look closer I see more reasonable answers that I never considered before.
- valuearb 6y agoIf you believe everyone’s memories you believe a lot of false things. Human memory is notoriously unreliable, and old memories are often patched together out of stories, dreams and entirely different events.
- readflaggedcomm 6y agoWhat qualified in 1979 as "edible plastic?" Gelatin, like pill outers?
- dang 6y agoPlease don't do that like this. If someone else is wrong or you feel they are, providing accurate information neutrally is sufficient. Swipes aren't needed, and add poison. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- jjeaff 6y agoIce cream is a protected term. It must contain 10%+ milkfat (among other things). Which why sometimes you see avoidance of the term. https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=135.110 https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfr... And no, there is no plastic in McDonald's ice cream.
