McDonald’s is getting rid of one of its most recognizable utensils in a bid to become more sustainable – the hollowed-out, square-shaped McFlurry spoon.
The fast-food chain said “True McFlurry fans know the spoon doubles as a spindle, which restaurant crews use to mix the perfect amount of sweet toppings into our creamy soft serve.”
However, starting this month, McDonald’s said its restaurants will be switching to a “reusable spindle that’s swapped out and cleaned after each McFlurry is made” and will be serving the desserts with a “smaller black spoon that uses less plastic (the same one that comes with our Sundaes).”
