Is it dishwasher safe?
It's made of emerald so probably.
If by 'dishwasher,' you mean 'the slave who washes the emperor's dishes,' then it better be or else.
Fuuuuck McDonalds, bunch of god damn sociopaths pushing their addictive and unhealthy food on children.
Seriously fuck McDonalds.
Agreed. At least fast food is so overpriced now that it's really easy to avoid going out at all nowadays!
Honestly, that's true of all fast food places. They employ food scientists and psychologists to addict as many people as possible to their products. And once you're hooked, it's hard as fuck to get away. "I don't go to Burger King anymore, but man I miss Whoppers" is the sort of thing I've heard more than once.
McDonalds specifically spends billions targeting children on places like YouTube and Instagram. They target poor children in developing countries, and it's why they have playgrounds and happy meals.
It's sociopathic calculations intended to increase revenue at the cost of lifelong health consequences for children.

No thanks. I’ve been trying to purge all of my emerald tableware. Need to lower the emerald levels in my blood.
Rough.
Sure this is made for drinking purposes? Looks more like a candle glass.
How big is that cup?
Big enough to obey your thirst. Did you not read the post title?
I don't know why but the feeling that pops up in my head is basically "what it feels like to be 7 years old and you have no idea about what this weird glass is but the sprite is the only thing that matters".
"I WANTED ORANGE FANTA!" [Throws 17th century emerald cup across the room]
How much would it cost to get one made for myself
They sold that one for over $2 million.
Don't give money to Big Cup. Get some stone mason and jewelers tools, an emerald the size of a human heart, and DIY that cup. Save yourself at least a few bucks.

That might be the funniest quip I've seen all week
Not as good, tbh. The straw is a necessary component to maximize the bubbles.
What the hell is "mcdonalds sprite"? Is that any different from regular sprite?
I don't know if this is true but I've read that, in their fountain sodas, McDonald's uses like 15% more flavoring syrup than what's recommended, so the sodas taste extra good
I thought it was due to bigger than usual straws, but I'm actually willing to bet it's both.
McDonald's has some incredibly rigorous requirements and processes to ensure consistent qualities in their Sprite. I have no interest in propping up a giant harmful corporation, but their Sprite really is different.
Random video discussing this: https://youtu.be/ATEMvaOcWWc
The Food Theorist and many others have made videos discussing it as well. A few months ago I saw a particular one explaining the McDonald's process at length, but unfortunately I cannot remember enough details to find the same one again.
Side note: in typing this comment and trying to find relevant videos, I had to type "Sprite" an unreasonable number of times, and not once did my phone's keyboard get it right.
One night, I went to a McDonald's expecting the fabled Sprite I've had before, and I guess their dispenser ran out the syrup. What I got was basically just soda water, and it low-key ruined my night because we got it via drive thru and I didn't take a sip until we got home 🥲
This is the quintessential McDonald's experience. Every time I give in to that random pang of nostalgia, I know I'm in for some kind of disappointment. It might be a broken ice cream machine, an item that's just out that day or been removed from the menu permanently, or something as mundane as having my order screwed up. In that, ironically, it rarely disappoints.
That'll be $28.73 at the second window.
That's a very relatable experience. You have my condolences.
Huh! I had no idea. Thanks for the info and video link!
Happy to spread knowledge!
Is it dishwasher safe?
Absolutely not. Do you want a cursed dishwasher because that's exactly how you get a cursed dishwasher.
He has a name. It's Rotom-Wash
That explains some dishwashers then.
Ironically enough, that emperor would probably have thought it's mana from heaven, if he ever got to try Sprite.
Unknown Armies is a tabletop RPG that has a school of magic predicated on a. Being drunk all the time and b. Drinking out of really cool cups.
Post reminded me of that. Good game (though I only know 2nd edition)
