Aw. I just have the older McDonald's Garfield cups with all the lead paint instead of the plutonium I guess.
I think it was lead and cadmium with the Shrek drinking glasses from the 2000s, both chemicals are commonly used to paint glass mugs. This is not exclusively a McDonald's issue, but also applies to other painted glasses (Holiday souvenirs, Sports club Merch, other drinking glasses and mugs made in china).
You might be able to buy a set of paper test strips for less than $10, but more accurate results from a lab are more expensive.
I was just replying tongue-in-cheek to this, though I really do have the cups.
