Strange things in France - Instructions and Warnings - Baby Instructions

Don't put a baby in a corner.  Just don't.

Actually, I found this warning on the packaging that came with my giant 200x200 duvet that I bought for my giant bed.  It was not French, but instead came from a British Company.  

Strange things in France - Instructions and Warnings - Bong Box

Do you have special shipping needs?  Fortunately this box exists and allows you to ship things either on a hand truck, in an actual truck, or on an airplane.  It's size L, so it can hold a lot of stuff.

Strange things in France - Instructions and Warnings - McFlurry

So for a while in the United States, we had started to notice that the McFlurries at McDonalds didn't seem quite as mixed as they had been in the past.  The strange spoons that were designed to lock into a McFlurry stirring device were still included in the McFlurry, but didn't seem to be actually used to mix the treat.  It took us going to France to finally get an answer: 

Go Flurr It Yourself!

My guess is that it was more cost effective to re-brand the McFlurry as an interactive experience than it was to maintain the McFlurry machines and pay employees to use them.  I'm sure there was a business process study about what item it took employees the longest to prepare and McFlurry came out on top.

An awesome thing about the McFlurries in France right now is that you can not only pick the candy mix that you want in it (peanut M&Ms, Oreos, Daim, Kit Kat ball), but you also get to pick a liquid topping (chocolate, caramel, strawberry).  Plus, this summer, they have expanded the base offering to include not only vanilla ice cream, but also chocolate.  It's quite delicious and calorie filled!
