McDonalds McFlurry spoon is different for a reason and some people are just finding out why
McFlurry lovers are just now discovering the purpose of the infamous spoon.McDonald’s iconic frozen treat has been a staple on the menu since 1998, and the weird looking spoon is often a topic of conversation.Last week, a confused customer shared a photo of the spoon in a McFlurry to X, formerly Twitter, asking the question, “is this a straw or some type of eating device?”Fans of the Golden Arches were happy to fill the user in on the secrets of the iconic spoon.“It’s quite literally a drill bit spoon.They attach that spoon to a machine through that hole and it stirs the mcflurry to get a perfect mix,” someone explained.

“it is not infact designed to be used as a straw.”These spoons are likely rare to find these days, considering McDonald’s said it would be ditching the iconic yet confusing McFlurry spoons in favor of a more sustainable design last October.The fast-food chain has recently made even more sustainable changes to the sweet treat.In September, the company announced that the old cup and plastic lid will be swapped out for a four-flap cup.The change will reduce waste and help the company’s goal of sourcing 100% of primary guest packaging from renewable, recycled or certified materials by the end of 2025, according to a press release.“Packaging updates like this matter,” Michael Gonda, SVP, Chief Impact Officer of North America for McDonald’s, said in a statement.“Not only is this a fun new way for our U.S.
