Hedgehogs take heart - McDonalds has agreed to redesign it's McFlurry ice-cream containers. When the containers were littered, hedgehogs would lick inside the container and then become trapped, causing them to starve to death. McDonalds is now making the lids smaller so hedgehog's heads cannot enter.
Not so lucky is Kuala Lumpur eatery McCurry, which insists its name is an abbreviation of Malaysian Chicken Curry. It has lost a five-year battle with McDonalds over use of the McCurry name. Even though the open-air eatery serves spicy fish-head curries, tandoori chicken and other Indian dishes, the name McCurry and their signage featuring colours distinctive of McDonalds had the multinational chain concerned that customers would confuse McCurry with their outlets.
Word on the street is that McCurry's is planning to appeal the ruling.
