McDonalds will soon feature cartoon animation-style characters on its McCafe coffee cups for a limited time.
Thats not particularly odd.

When NFTs went mainstream in the winter of 2021-22, everyone wanted to get in on the hype.
But it didnt last long.
Fallons Bored Apes promotion in Jan. 2022 was the beginning of the end.
By Sept. 2022, trading volume for NFTs hadfallen 97%.
Why would Doodles need to do that?
Because the crypto and NFT communities are absolutely swamped with scammers who pose as legitimate operations.
Will McDonalds and Doodles actually be able to give NFTs a serious revival?
Nobody can say for sure.
