The McFlurry was created by Canadian McDonald's franchise Ron McLellan in Bathurst, New Brunswick, in 1995. In the U.S., the McFlurry was test-marketed in select regions in 1997. By March of 1998 the product was available to all U.S. and Canada locations and has been gradually introduced in other locations since then.

McFlurries are one of the many McDonald's creations. It is a whipped, soft serve, vanilla flavored ice cream that had bits of candies or cookies mixed in it. It is served with a special spoon that attaches to a machine that will mix it all together to combine all the ingredients.

Peanut Butter Crunch McFlurry The new Peanut Butter Crunch McFlurry is made with Mickey D's signature vanilla soft serve, blended with a crispy cereal mix and chocolaty peanut butter cookie pieces to create a salty-sweet treat.

The name comes from the process in which the spoon is attached to the McFlurry® mixer which is used to 'flurry' the ice cream and inclusions (and sauce if applicable) together, before being given to the customer.

The classic combo of ice cream and candy is one of the chain's best indulgences. While McDonald's radiates an all-American vibe from its golden arches, the McFlurry was actually invented in Canada in 1995 - thanks, Canada! According to Mashed, the father of the McFlurry was New Brunswick franchisee Ron McLellan.

The new McFlurry® process has been revealed. “The new process, which is still used now, is to pour the soft serve, sprinkle the topping and then stir three times to mix. The original spoon was used for a period, but as there was no machine, it was not required and was constructed from much more plastics than necessary.
