Mickey D's

I just came back from a sweets run with two coworkers to the McDonald's across the street from our office. I got an oreo McFlurry while they both bought strawberry sundaes. This was the first time I've ever had a McFlurry and it was pretty good. I was impressed. The funny thing is that I was kind of confused by the spoon, which had a big square opening in the end. I almost sucked on it because I thought it was a straw. Thankfully, I pulled on it a bit and discovered the spoon end. Why is the opening there? My coworker said that they actually pour the ice cream through that opening. Hmm, weird.
