Washington, D.C. native Joseph Lamour is a lover of food: its past, its present and the science behind it. With food, you can bring opposites together to form a truly marvelous combination, and he strives to take that sentiment to heart in all that he does.
No one will mistakenly try to drink their McFlurry through its hollow plastic spoon ever again. On Oct. 24, McDonald’s announced on its internal blog that it would officially be phasing out its most iconic utensil: the McFlurry spoon . The change comes as the popular frozen dessert celebrates 26 years of offering customers its sweety icy treat as well as confusing them with its serving tool.
But, no more, as the chain says that, starting this month, the menu item is due for a sustainable glow-up nationwide. The fast-food chain is nixing the unique utensil for a reusable spindle that’s swapped out and cleaned after each McFlurry is made. No longer will the bulky spoon be used as a mixer and handed off to the customer: Once mixing is complete, all McFlurrys will be served with the same smaller black spoon with which its Sundaes are served, which uses less plastic.
