People sell McDonald's plastic straws after the fast food chain threw out paper straws that divide

In the UK, McDonald's decision to stop using plastic straws has resulted in the sale of many of them on eBay.

The brave sellers soon realized the potential opportunity after the fast food chain threw its white, red and yellow plastic straws into greener paper straws.

The green decision was not taken seriously: some customers expressed frustration with the new straws online and even launched a petition to bring back the plastic ones.

On ebay, an ambitious salesman has listed one under the title: "1,000 pounds of SUPER RARE plastic straw" over the weekend. And now, other potential entrepreneurs are following suit.

While this list is now over, other sellers on eBay are making their own straw based financial security attempt. The original description of the list read as follows:

"Brilliant new straw McDonald's not circulated, she will soon become a legend. Imagine that you are about 50 years older than you are now, tell your grandchildren how you got plastic straws from McDonald's and they will look at you like a god!

"And you will turn to them and laugh and say that I am not a god, I was alive before the snowflake generation took over," he concludes.

Another list published today has dubbed the joke and touted the potential for investment in straw while selling the item at the exorbitant price of £ 5,000 – but with a free shipping included.

"A great opportunity to buy a rare plastic straw for McDonalds. The 2018 vintage and its original paper packaging are preserved. Possibility of possible investment;) & # 39;

"Please, do your own research," added the description.

McDonald's divided British customers after trading plastic straws for paper in several branches.

The fast food chain is moving away from plastic to paper in its 1,361 restaurants in the UK and Ireland, after being pressured by environmentalists to become greener.

However, the new straws left the customers disappointed. Many have used Twitter to express their frustration with quality, saying that they "dissolve" in drinks.

The customer Martin Reed has even started a petition asking McDonald's to bring back plastic straws, which has received over 40,000 signatures.

A stream of social media users have blown up McDonald's paper straws, claiming that they dissolve before a glbad can be finished.

Asking for the return of plastic straws, some customers have even suggested boycotting the fast food vendor until their demands are met.

When writing on Twitter, one person said: "I agree with the fact that plastic straws are being dismantled, but also with comments on paper straws, which are unnecessary for milkshakes, which is the only drink I get from McDonald's. Paper straws collapse before half of the drink

Another wrote: "All for McDonald's paper straws, but they could make them a little stronger, yano, act like a bading bath bomb in my coke"

A third added, "PurpleDon2973, that's what I told you from the other day! I could not drink my shake at all, the straw dissolved before the shake was sufficiently melted to suck it! @McDonaldsUK & # 39;

Following the announcement of the petition, many people went on the online platform to reprimand those who campaign for the return of plastic.

A user speaking "Gigglechops74" said that those who requested the return of the plastic are showing a lack of concern for the environment.

She wrote: "People blow themselves up, stabbed and murdered, but McDonald's fans have bigger problems: hate paper straws + claim plastic that damages the environment + kill nature … but as long as your pathetic problems are solved, huh? This world is doomed!

Another said: "I love the fact that everyone is starting to be interested in the environment, but there are also those ***** who sign a petition asking McDonald's & # 39; 39; s to bring back plastic straws, just drink from the cup if you do not want to use a paper straw?

McDonald's general manager in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Paul Pomroy, has already revealed that the restaurant's decision to introduce paper straws resulted from customer requests.

Speaking in June of last year, he said: "Reflecting the wider public debate, our customers told us that they wanted to see their ideas move, but without compromise their overall experience during their visits to our restaurants.

"In recent months, we have been working closely with supplier partners to find a solution that suits both our customers and the offering, given the size of our business."

A representative from McDonald's UK responded to a number of social media users who had expressed their hatred for paper straws, revealing that the restaurant was working on an alternative.

"… We fully understand your concerns and can badure you that, if all restaurants will be equipped with paper straws, we will strive to maintain an alternative option for those who need it."

A representative of McDonald's told Mail Online: "Our suppliers have made paper straws of at least 30 minutes in most, if not all, liquids. They have been introduced as a result of customer feedback, and we are delighted to take the steps that are required to remove the plastic from our restaurants and take important steps to reduce our impact on the environment. & # 39;
