Despite it’s hefty price the seller has insisted the McDonald’s straw commands the eye-watering fee because it is a collector’s item.

“Nostalgic item for any keen collector taking you back to the good ol’ days.

McDonald’s ditched plastic straws for an environmentally-friendly paper option.
The straws were removed from all of its UK restaurants in May 2018 to make way for the paper version.

The free plastic straws given out by the restaurant were recyclable but the fast food giant took steps in the UK to make its packaging even more environmentally friendly.
But the switch was met with criticism after big-mac lovers found they went soggy after a couple of sips.
While other angry customers said that the new straws had changed how their drink tasted.
It’s not the first time a maccies straw was flogged on the internet though.
Back in 2021, eBay sellers were spotted flogging theirs for up to £4,500.
It comes as a McDonald’s fan has shared an easy way to buy a Big Mac for almost half the price.
In the video the saver revealed you can buy a Big Mac – which usually costs £4.09 – for £1.71 less.
