Fast food chain McDonald’s has a new ad for a product called “the STRAW.” It pokes fun at Apple, in particular Jony Ive, as it features white backgrounds and a “British” narrator. The product will be released along with four new shakes in time for St. Patrick’s Day.

Short for Suction Tube for Reverse Axial Withdrawal, the STRAW is an engineering marvel that will let people “enjoy both flavors of the new Chocolate Shamrock Shake.” In a press release, Seth Newburg, engineer and managing partner at NK Labs, which worked on the straw, said:

“It was a puzzling assignment but one with an ambitious goal. From a physics perspective, it’s actually quite difficult to deliver a proportional amount of both chocolate and mint flavors with each sip. But that’s exactly what we did. It’s a marvel of fluid dynamics. Thanks Fibonacci sequence.”

The STRAW will be a limited edition product, with a release of only 2,000 units. If it becomes a success though, it’s possible McDonald’s will make more. While you’re waiting, check out the McDonald’s ad below:
