It wouldn’t be the holidays without a controversy over seasonal coffee cups.
McDonald’s is the latest company to cause commotion after releasing their version of the red cup for their McCafé. The holiday design reads “Warmest Greetings” over two white mittens and colorful snowflakes and stars.
It seems innocent enough until you see the version making its way around Reddit with a few scribbles drawn to look like hands. The slight variation does wonders to transform the design into looking like a person spreading their butt cheeks for the camera. (Good luck unseeing it.)

And now add some fingers
Now how the hell are Starbucks cups in the news again and no one’s talking about a guy spreading his cheeks open on McDonald’s cups pic.twitter.com/QmIuZiDJst

Ok let’s be honest for a second. When I saw the original cup I was like “wtf, McDonald’s is trying to get in on the subliminal sex game.” There is no other explanation. Either that or years spent on the internet have completely ruined me!
And who remembers the hidden dude on a pack of Camels?
Also no talk of inappropriate brand logos can be had without revisiting the incredibly inappropriate logo for the Arlington Pediatric Center.
So Merry Christmas or Warmest Greetings or something, everyone!
