McDonald's is changing its coffee cups to promote the Covid-19 vaccine

New York (CNN Business)McDonald's is partnering with the White House to promote vaccination information on its coffee cups as hesitancy grows about taking the potentially life-saving shot.

Beginning in July, customers in the United States will see redesigned McCafe cups and delivery seal stickers that features "We Can Do This," a slogan created by the US Department of Health and Human Services to promote vaccine confidence. It also includes a website address (vaccines.gov) that directs people to nearby appointments and safety information.

The promotion will last several weeks and the slogan will be printed on roughly 50 million cups.

Prior to that, McDonald's (MCD) said its billboard in New York's Times Square location will also display vaccine information beginning in mid-May.

I guess it may work on the last quarter or so. I think they should start tomorrow. How hard is it to throw a sticker on a cup?

I'm anticipating a stall at about 65-68%. I haven't had the fortitude to speculate what will happen beyond that.

A better idea would be a spring-loaded rubber coronavirus ball in every happy meal that blasts you in the face when you open it.

That oughta get your attention!
