About
As of 2026, it's 31 years old.
The McFlurry is soft-serve and crushed candy spun together with a spoon so cleverly engineered that the spoon is also the blender attachment — a small piece of fast-food genius slightly overshadowed by its most famous trait: the machine being mysteriously, eternally broken.
Arriving in the US in 1997, it made Oreo and M&M's into legitimate dessert toppings and turned 'is the ice cream machine working?' into a national running joke.
Cold, sweet, and available only when the stars and the equipment align, the McFlurry is the dessert that keeps you humble.
