It's part of a multi-year effort to make its packaging more environmentally friendly

The franchise has introduced the change in an effort to be more environmentally friendly.
The fast-food chain says the lids "help optimize our packaging and eliminate the use of small plastics."
I know what your thinking - it'll spill everywhere!
But they have a pullback tab to prevent the drink from splashing out.
And at the moment customers can still request a straw if desired.
McDonald's set a goal in 2018 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its offices and restaurants by 36% between 2015 and 2030.
In 2021, the chain switched out some of its plastic Happy Meal toys for 3D paper-based toys that customers can put together themselves.
