\n McDonald\u2019s is getting rid of one its most recognizable utensils.\n <\/p>\n

\n The McFlurry spoon, which sparked confusion among its fans for being hollow, is being phased out as the fast food chain says it seeks more sustainable alternatives. The clear plastic spoon doubled as a spindle, with the utensil being inserted into the McFlurry machine to mix in the toppings into the ice cream.\n <\/p>\n

\n McDonald\u2019s said that its US locations are changing how they mix McFlurry treats, with the machines now using a \u201creusable spindle that\u2019s swapped out and cleaned after each McFlurry is made.\u201d The shakes will now be served with a \u201csmaller black spoon that uses less plastic,\u201d which are currently handed out with its sundaes.\n <\/p>\n

\n The company explained that the \u201csmall change will help reduce single-use plastic waste\u201d without altering how the McFlurry tastes.\n <\/p>\n

\n Reducing plastic is part of the fast food giant\u2019s goals to become more environmentally friendly. Earlier this year, it tested new strawless lids in some US cities in an effort to stop giving out plastic straws.\n <\/p>\n

\n McDonald\u2019s set a goal in 2018 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its offices and restaurants by 36% between 2015 and 2030. In 2021, the chain switched out some of its plastic Happy Meal toys for 3-D paper-based toys that customers can put together themselves.\n <\/p>\n

\n The McFlurry spoon is the latest thing to go at McDonald\u2019s, with the chain recently announcing that self-serve soda machines will be eliminated by 2032. Consumer behavior has changed since the pandemic, and the chain has experienced a surge in business through its drive-thru and delivery services, with fewer people choosing to eat in its dining rooms, reducing the need for the machines.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
