You 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.
