You are correct, McDonalds is not blowing off their horn about Earthshell,,,yet. But they have mentioned the letter of intent for shells for the Big Mac and the exclusive they intend to have. McDonalds silence is proper behavior. Product is still considered in test phase, they don't need to pump up the price of ERTH with a lot of premature hype. Earth is just another one of their hundreds of suppliers and I don't see them bragging that they use XYZ soap in the bathroom. But they are clever enough to get an exclusive on the shells for the Mac so they can, you guessed it, brag about how eco sensitive they are, we use it, the other fastfood chains don't....yet. (Once Sweetheart can build enough capacity they will be able to meet any of McDonalds demand and sell to others) This of course depends on success of tests of production product. (First I heard it was McDonalds in Maryland, now I read it's at McDonalds in Las Vegas)
