So why exactly would the spoon be hollow if not to be used as a straw? The hollowness of the spoon is actually used in the process of blending the McFlurry. The spoon is designed to fit snugly into the machine that blends in the toppings.
Rather than being a straw, the opening at the top of the spoon is actually meant for mixing. After the ice cream and topping is in the cup, workers insert the spoon in the cup and the utensil hooks into a machine that mixes the McFlurry together.
The TikTok creator explained: "You see, McDonalds didn't want to clean their beaters after every McFlurry, so instead they designed a spoon that would also work as the mixer.
McDonald's McFlurry loses plastic spoon as branches switch to cutlery made from paper. McDonald's is ditching the iconic McFlurry spoon as it replaces all its plastic cutlery with items made from paper.
The McFlurry was created by Canadian McDonald's franchisee Ron McLellan in Bathurst, New Brunswick, in 1995. In the U.S., the McFlurry was test-marketed in select regions in 1997. By March of 1998 the product was available to all U.S. and Canada locations and has been gradually introduced in other locations since then.
The name comes from the process in which the spoon is attached to the McFlurry® mixer which is used to 'flurry' the ice cream and inclusions (and sauce if applicable) together, before being given to the customer.
"The McFlurry spoon was invented by an employee at one of McDonald's suppliers, Flurry International, in 1995," McDonald's explains. "Since then, the McFlurry spoon design has been an iconic part of the dessert's experience!"
KFC has made the switch to FSC™ certified paper BioStraws and FSC™ certified birchwood spoons and forks sourced from sustainably-managed forests. They are 100% paper/wood and can be home composted together with food scraps. For a quick service restaurant like KFC, straws and cutlery are both convenient and necessary.
In addition to frying and seasoning the fries, McDonald's coats them in dextrose, a form a sugar.

Unfortunately for vegan American McDonald's fans, the fries there aren't plant-based. This is because one of the ingredients is “natural beef flavoring,” which contains milk. “When our suppliers partially fry our cut potatoes, they use an oil blend that contains beef flavoring,” the McDonald's website states.
"It's because McDonald's cooks their fries with beef flavoring mixed within their vegetable oil," divulged the content creator.
The fries are not coated in any fats or substances from an animal. Once at the restaurant, our fries are simply cooked in dedicated frying vats in a non-hydrogenated blend of sunflower and rapeseed oil which is 100 percent suitable for vegans.
