I'm confused about what a McFlurry is. McDonalds sells sundaes and shakes, so what's a McFlurry? Is a McFlurry like a Wendy's Frosty?

McFlurry... WTF is this?

Perhaps a McFlurry is a low-calorie blizzard?

It's whipped soft serve ice cream with whatever mix-ins they have.

Oh, yeah. They serve those upside down, no? And I believe that's essentially the same thing.

It's McDonald's. That's all I need to know.
On hiatus.

If toppings exclude sauces like hot fudge or butterscotch, yes. Like a sundae, it is intended to be eaten with a spoon rather than a straw. I have bought my son quite a few, and spoons always are provided. Personally I don't care for ice cream with candy inside it (texture mix is offputting). My son prefers the DQ version, but DQs are much thinner on the ground in Mass. than McDs.
god, ugh
I can't believe that people are having an apparently serious discussion about the chemical slops and plastic foods
McDonald's defrauds a gullible public with. You'd be better off just getting a daily, all-in-one intravenous injection of fat, salt, sugar, and cholesterol. Quicker, cheaper, more instant, and possibly save any vomiting and/or diarrhea. —Needless to say, I despise the company and its insidious marketing techniques, treatment of its employees, blatant misrepresentation of its foodstuffs, use of animal meat factories and battery hens, and its willful ignorance of climate degradation and lack of any social conscience. Living in a remote country town, McDonald's is the first place I reach whenever I drive to the nearest large town, so I invariably make use of their toilets (being an old bloke with an insistent bladder LOL). The place has an overpowering stench of stale grease, which tends to make me hold my breath as long as I can walking through the front of store. And as someone once said, you'll actually get more sustenance by eating the cardboard containers McDonald's serve their food [sic ] in. And it'll taste better too LOL. I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.

I can call up the taste of a McDonalds's sundae and one of their cheese burgers from the depths of my long term memory, but aside from that, I have no McDonald's experience to draw from. It was suggested to me by one @Tartarus Sauce that he should go get a McFlurry, and when I googled it, I was horrified to learn the calories and sugar in one serving of a McFlurry. 890 calories and 124 g of sugar.
For an adult or a child older than 4 years, a 12 fl oz serving of McFlurry provides
31% of their daily calorific intake, plus 45% of their daily saturated fat intake. At the same time it provides only 1% of their daily fibre requirement. So... next time you wanna swallow 18 teaspoonsful of sugar in one fell swoop, just pop into your local diabetes supplies store. I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.
A cash cow.
A flurry compared to a blizzard. They didn't think that one through.
