If you’ve ever tried to use the hollow end of a McFlurry spoon as an ice cream straw then you will have been left feeling very disappointed.
The signature McDonald’s spoon has a square opening at the top and many fast food fans have been convinced it’s there so you can drink through it for years.
But considering it’s not really up to the job, the whole design is pretty pointless, right?
It turns out the square end is there for another far more practical reason many of us had never considered – and it’s blowing people’s minds.
A McDonald’s employee uploaded a video to TikTok, which has racked up more than 3.8 million views, to finally put an end to the debate.

User @Marzpire shared a video asking: “Ever wondered why you can’t drink out of a McFlurry spoon?”
She then makes a McFlurry with a big dollop of ice cream and sprinkles on the chosen topping, before putting on the lid and dropping the spoon in the center.
Writing ‘what the spoon is really for’, she then slots it onto a machine using the square opening at the top, which spins the spoon to mix the delicious chocolate all the way down through the ice cream.
Although many viewers said they thought the reason for the design was obvious, it came as news to others as one wrote: “Wow! You just solved one of my entire life mysteries.”
Another replied: “Well that explains it after all these years.”
A third said: “My whole life was a lie”
But the revelation also angered some loyal customers, who were left asking why the toppings were never mixed in when they ordered a McFlurry.
One vented: “Yet it’s still always just on the top.”
Another added: “If the spoon is for mixing why don’t ya’ll ever mix it?”
