McFlurry... WTF is this?

McFlurry... WTF is this?
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?  Huh

Perhaps a McFlurry is a low-calorie blizzard?

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

I googled it, I just don't understand what it is. Do you drink it or eat it with a spoon?

Also, that wikipedia article says that McDonalds also has soft serve cones. I did not know that.

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

Yeah, the McFlurry is a cheap, knock-off Blizzard. Micky-D's hasn't had an original idea since the marketing scam that was the McD-L-T. [Image: Eye_Roll.gif]

So basically this is a sundae but instead of toppings, the stuff is mixed within.

McD's. caters to kids, so yeah, they'll have ice cream.

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 haven't eaten at a McDonalds since I was a kid. 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.     Thumbsdown

A flurry compared to a blizzard. They didn't think that one through.
