Narcotic Paraphanalia Outrage
McDonald’s Order’s Cease and Desist On Golden Coke Spoon

The Citizen:Citzen Gold Coke Spoon #1 was designed about a year ago, but the designers were recently given a cease and desist letter from McDonald’s because their Coke Spoon #2 looked like a McDonald’s stir stick.  As a result, the publicity is driving up the popularity of their entire line.  Nice work, McDs!

Obviosuly, being highly illegal, advertising the fact you take drugs is never a good idea. A bit much like drugs themselves. However, I feel the design quality of this ‘cokespoon’ deserves a mention.

Developed by designer wunderkind Tobias Wong and fashion designer Ken Courtney aka Ju$t Another Rich Kid, both items are a parody and commentary on how culture affects and sometimes dictates and objects status and function.
