Flurries in the Forecast

McDonald's McFlurry Maker

Hard-core ice-cream fans never deny themselves the pleasure of the scoop just because it’s cold outside.

But now there’s a new way to enjoy the chill without leaving the house or braving the throngs at Mickey Dee’s. The McDonald’s McFlurry Maker from Spinmaster — a dream come true for ice-cream junkies and aggressive brand managers alike — lets you re-create the fast-food experience in your very own kitchen. No drive-through necessary. Just add cream to a packet of powder; toss in ice, salt, and your favorite fixin’s (Oreos, Butterfingers); and start mixing your way to an endless number of brain freezes.

And the sooner you start, the sooner you can brag about the billions you’ve served.
