McDonalds Steal Cups TikTok Calm down McDonalds, nobodys gonna steal your cups. McDonalds Customers Find Trackers On Containers, So What Do They Do?

Some McDonald’s customers seem to really believe they might be being tracked by their cups…

A video posted on TikTok shows strange gadgets attached to cups in a McDonald’s outlet, thought to be in Paris.

I know, who knew McDonalds had cups?  Apart from those paper ones, that is!

The poster wrote:  “Bro, calm down McDonald’s, nobody’s gonna steal your cups,” as they showed a couple of plastic cups with weird devices fitted to the bottom.
