McFlurry

The McFlurry is a brand of ice cream-based dessert sold by the fast-food restaurant chain McDonald's. It is made with soft-serve ice cream, typically vanilla, blended with various mix-in ingredients. The dessert is prepared by placing the soft-serve ice cream into a cup, adding the chosen mix-ins, and then using a specialized machine to thoroughly mix everything together. A hollow plastic spindle is inserted into the cup, which spins at high speed to incorporate the ingredients. The spindle is then left in the cup, serving as a handle for eating the McFlurry.

The McFlurry was first introduced in Canada in 1995 and later expanded to the United States in 1997. It has since become a popular menu item globally, with different variations and mix-ins available in various countries to cater to local tastes. Common mix-ins include candies like Oreos and M&M's, as well as sauces and syrups. McDonald's advertises the McFlurry as a convenient and customizable treat, offering a wide range of flavor combinations. The dessert is typically served in a branded paper cup with a plastic lid.
