Unfortunately, the real reason is far less creative... For the blissfully unaware, the hole is there to be attached to the ice cream machine and mix the McFlurry – and you're not alone in finding this out in 2022 for the first time.
Rather than being a straw, the opening at the top of the spoon is actually meant for mixing. After the ice cream and topping is in the cup, workers insert the spoon in the cup and the utensil hooks into a machine that mixes the McFlurry together.
There's a reason you can't drink your McFlurry through your McDonald's spoon-straw – it's not what you think it is. APPARENTLY, there's a reason why McDonald's' McFlurry spoon-straws are so difficult to drink out of. It turns out they're not for drinking at all.
The mixing blade for the dessert is actually a specially designed spoon with a hollow handle that attaches to the mixer spindle (except in Australia and New Zealand where the staff mix it by hand). The blade is used once then given to the customer to use as an eating utensil.
As shown by marzpire, the square hole of the McFlurry spoon is made to fit perfectly into the McFlurry machine! The end of the spoon connects with the machine, and then a button is pressed and the machine mixes the McFlurry!
The design feature makes it easier to transport both items at once. In a video shared with his 25 million followers, Dobrik attempts the hack with a group of friends. "Apparently, it's supposed to hold your McFlurry," Dobrik says as he demonstrates with his dessert and drink while sitting in his car.
McDonald's has quietly reduced the size of its popular McFlurry ice cream desserts in a trial to offer fast food fans lower-calorie treats.

The McFlurry is a brand of flavored ice cream distributed and sold by the American-based international fast food chain McDonald's.
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.
Some indicate that the machine is "violent," spewing ice cream all over employees and occasionally boring a hole in the bottom of the McFlurry cup. Others say they're under so much pressure to work quickly that it isn't worth the time spent mixing a McFlurry — customers just don't care.
The Straws on Request action is part of McDonald's global commitment to continually improve the sustainability of all packaging to achieve its global goals of sourcing 100% of guest packaging from renewable, recycled, or certified sources by 2025 and to recycle guest packaging in 100% of McDonald's restaurants globally ...
It'll taste the same but it will have a weird icy texture. Give it a try, you probably won't like what you taste and want to throw it out. If you don't want to throw it out, let it melt in the fridge and use it like a sauce over cake, with fruit.
Can You Freeze a McFlurry? Although you can freeze McFlurry, doing so will ruin its texture. You'll no longer have smooth, creamy ice cream.

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.
Now, McDonald's has outdone themselves with the newest doughnut ball Mcflurry! Made with creamy vanilla soft serve, this McFlurry is topped with hot fudge sauce and Oreo cookie crumbles—and no, we're not talking about the Oreo fudge McFlurry. The kicker? There are four cinnamon doughnut balls on top of the ice cream.
No, we don't. McDonald's does not offer Halal-certified food.
