Ever wondered why the spoon in your McFlurry has a square hole at the end? Here’s why
This small detail makes all the difference to the popular McDonald's dessert
IT’S been almost 20 years since the McFlurry first launched, but many customers are still baffled about the design of the spoon.
Eagle eyed McDonald’s fans might have noticed that there’s something strange about the popular menu item.
When a customer orders a McFlurry, they’re handed the creamy dessert in a cup-like container.
To eat the ice cream, diners are provided with an odd square-shaped spoon.
The hollow handle, which resembles a straw, has an extra hook poking up from it.
Even though many McDonald’s customers have tried, you can’t actually eat the dessert through the spoon.
It turns out that the unique design has been specifically made to help stir the McFlurry together.
The spoon hooks directly onto the machine, which then spins it around to mix the ice cream toppings through the dessert.
