      Ha ha in France they just stopped giving you straws. The paper cup for the drinks just said on it something like "To drink, remove lid and lift cup. You’re not an infant " lol

      Now they have those reusable cups and fry holders, which are suspiciously smaller than the paper ones

      Only thing I noticed that was single use plastic was the little tub of sauce

        That little tub of sauce could be made of waxy paper entirely, albeit probably at the cost of a lower shelf life.
