McDonald’s Corporation’s (NYSE:MCD) holiday cups are in the news after one dirty mind ruined an innocent image.

McDonald's Corporation, MCD, Holiday Cups

McDonald’s Corporation’s holiday cups show two white mittens overlapping each other with the text “Warmest Greetings” inside. However, one customer saw it as something more and made a slight alteration to the cups so everyone else can see it.

The person drew fingers extending out from where the thumbs on the mittens are. This changes the cup to a behind image of a person spreading…their behind. It makes for a funny image. Especially when coupled with the “Warmest Greetings” text.

The original post with the modified McDonald’s Corporation holiday cup was shared by Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) user Sam Sykes. You can check it out for yourself by following this link.

Here are what some Twitter users had to say in response to the altered McDonald’s Corporation holiday cup.

  • “Had to get my own fine ass grabbing cup of @McDonalds holiday coffee. “
  • “Someone had a little too much fun with the McDonald’s holiday cup and gave it an x-rated makeover.”
  • “HAHAHAHA… Some people think that @McDonalds’ holiday cup looks like a butt!”
  • “Anyone else think McDonald’s new Holiday Cup looks like a BUTT??”
  • “Umm… what do you see? Because this McDonald’s holiday cup looks way dirtier than its meant to be.”

McDonald’s Corporation isn’t the only company that has stirred up the internet with its holiday cups. Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) caught the public’s eye earlier this year after some customers thought its green “Unity” cups were replacing the red holiday cups it normally uses.
