McDonald's has announced that their world-famous McFlurry will be getting a major makeover.

You may recall that back in October, the fast food giant announced that it was getting rid of its signature McFlurry spoons (you know, the ones with the hollowed-out handles).

The reason for the change to the McFlurry?

The change to the lid comes as McDonald's has aspirations to reduce waste and advance their goal of "100% of primary guest packaging from renewable, recycled or certified materials by the end of 2025."

“Packaging updates like this matter,” Michael Gonda, chief impact officer of North America for McDonald’s, said in a statement. “Not only is this a fun new way for our U.S. fans to enjoy the McFlurry; we’re also moving one step closer to fulfilling our packaging and waste commitments.”

When will we start seeing these changes to the McFlurry?

The four-flap cups are being used in international markets right now and will be available in the United States later this month.

In addition to changes in the packaging, McDonald's also announced that it will be rolling out the Mini McFlurry on September 10.

It's exactly as you think the name implies, a mini version of the popular dessert will be available at participating restaurants nationwide.
