It is so hard to come to terms with the fact that we arenât babies anymore and canât just suck on a tit for nourishment. McDonaldâs Japan is maybe having a harder time with that realization than most.
According to circulating reports, milkshakes sold at the Japanese chain are designed to make you feel like youâre a baby drinking breast milk. In his book Den Fujitaâs Business Strategies 2: Overwhelming Business Strategies, McDonaldâs Japan founder Den Fujita writes (as translated by RocketNews24):
âWhen humans drink something, the speed that produces the most delicious feeding is the speed at which babies nurse... McDonaldâs straws are designed so that when used with a shake, the speed will be the same as that of an infant drinking breast milk.â
Will somebody go to Japan and remind us what it feels like to nurse?
