The McFlurry Is Getting a Makeover—Here’s Everything You Need to Know
There are few fast-food treats as beloved as McDonald’s McFlurry. I mean, it’s nearly impossible not to love this frozen dessert with Oreo crumbles, M&Ms or other limited-edition toppings swirled into creamy vanilla soft serve. Do you remember this summer’s Grandma McFlurry with the butterscotch crumbles? I do! In my humble opinion, the McFlurry is quite simply the best of the best when it comes to fast-food desserts. So I was a little nervous when I heard that McDonald’s was giving the McFlurry a makeover. Why would the powers that be mess with perfection? Well, as it turns out, the McFlurry’s latest glow-up might be the best thing that could have happened to my favorite treat.Read on to find out how McDonald’s is changing its signature dessertand when you can expect to see the new McFlurry in McDonald’s locations across the country.GetReader’s DigestsRead Up newsletter for more food news, humor, cleaning, travel, tech and fun facts all week long.What will the new McFlurry look like?Starting on Sept. 10, McDonald’s will serve the McFlurry in an environmentally friendly four-flap cup, phasing out plastic McFlurry cup lids once and for all. The new sustainable packaging will help cut down on waste, which is a lot better for the planet. This move comes nearly one year after McDonald’s discontinued its iconic McFlurry spoons in an effort to reduce single-use plastics.The restaurant chain set a goal of making all of its main food packaging out of renewable, recycled or certified materials by the end of 2025, and the McFlurry’s latest change gets the company one sweet step closer to achieving its goal. The four-flap cups are already available in Canada, Europe and Indonesia, and with more than 14,000 McDonald’s locations in the United States, this has the potential to make a real impact on the environment.What other McFlurry changes are in the works?In addition to its packaging makeover, the McFlurry menu will be getting a little extra deliciousnessemphasis on little.
