So, now the barely legible words "what's your mix" and "Sweet moosic" on the plastic spoons of Menchie's yogurt has drawn the attention of the OQLF language troopers. The words are moulded into the plastic spoons in all 305 North American locations. They are barely legible because the spoons are all monotone. But Menchie's has been told by an inspector that they may have violated Bill 101 and the issue was under investigation. Trouble is, only three of the locations are in Quebec and the spoons are produced at the franchise operator's American headquarters. That bit of reason and sanity has failed to move the guardians of French purity.
