I believe the store should keep it's spoons. If and when the OQLF takes Menchie's to court, they can argue that the advertisement "sweet moosic" is unrelated to the business, thus should be exempt. Come to think of it, moosic isn't even an English word, so the spoons are legit. Easy court case for Menchie's.

OQLF cuts spoons
6/21/2013
The language police have forced the American frozen yogurt chain Menchie’s to stop distributing its disposable spoons at two Quebec locations.
The Dollard franchise from the Blue Haven mall, claimed on its Facebook page Thursday that Quebec’s language police, the OQLF, has banned the spoons because the words “Sweet Moosic” are molded into them – leaving the stores with no choice but to find a new supplier.
The spoons are provided by the Menchie’s head office in California.
“We are working as fast as we can to get new spoons made just for our Quebec stores, at a large expense to us,” said the Facebook posting.
The post, as of Friday morning, had been shared nearly 100 times with many comments from fans calling the move unnecessary and ridiculous.
