Nobody can be sure why McDonald’s patrons in Japan are impaling their burgers onto their drinks with a straw. But they are, and it’s a new meme referred to as ‘drink x hamburger.’
Perhaps it’s to keep the burger in place while mobile. One-handed eating/drinking? Or maybe, just maybe, Japan likes when there are bits of burger floating around in their beverage. Either way, check it out and judge for yourself.

The last remaining broth in your ramen bowl can be tricky. Do you slurp right from the bowl, and show a lack of self-respect and awareness of others?
Or, thanks to Soup Sticks, do you leave the bowl where it is and suck that broth up with a straw? Again, self-respect and consideration for others, not a top priority. Brought to us by Julian Lechner, the part chopsticks part straw concept can handle noodles with ease. And, thanks to being hollow and fitted with the appropriate airholes, will handle the liquids too.
Happy slurping.
