All the McFlurries that will be given away will be a "regular size," according to the McDonald’s press release.
While McDonald’s is making amends with customers over its McFlurry spoon, the chain revealed its hollow handle is actually made that way so it can connect to the ice cream machine for mixing ingredients.
