McflurryA McFlurry is a type of ice cream sold by McDonald's. McFlurries debuted in late 1997. Preparation McFlurries have whipped, vanilla-flavoured ice cream in a cup. A spoon with a hole in the handle is attached to a blender. Sprinkles and different types of candy are added to the cup which is then blended using the spoon. The spoon is removed from the blender with the cup and sold to the customer with the cup and a clear plastic lid. The ice cream in a McFlurry is the same ice cream used for cones and Milkshakes. Flavours vary from market to market, and new flavours are introduced on a limited basis regularly. In Canada, McFlurries are sold in Oreo, Smarties, and Strawberry Shortcake varieties. In the United States, M&Ms are used in place of Smarties. Also, the Strawberry Shortcake McFlurry is not available in the United States. Spoon The spoon for the McFlurry is the most interesting part of the whole venture. McDonald's had to manufacture spoons specifically for one type of food. This meant that if the public had not liked the drink, McDonald's would still have paid for the development and manufacture of a utensil that has no other practical purpose. This was a risk on McDonald's part and, although profitability has dipped in recent years, no one can claim that the McFlurry is the cause. External links
