A woman in a car eats a McDonald's McFlurry with a spoon
McDonald's is getting rid of its hollow plastic McFlurry spoons in the US.
  • McDonald's is ditching its hollow plastic McFlurry spoons in the US, it announced Tuesday.
  • The current spoons serve a double purpose – they're used to stir toppings into the ice cream.
  • McDonald's is replacing them with the smaller spoons used for sundaes, which it says use less plastic.

McDonald's is scrapping its iconic hollow McFlurry spoons after nearly three decades.

The burger giant announced on Tuesday that US restaurants would be ditching the utensil, starting this month.
