With the ongoing popularity of shareable dishes at fast food and fast casual restaurants, McDonald's has introduced a new sharing-sized dessert called the 'McFlurry Party.' Big enough for multiple people to share, the new dessert encourages customers to sit and enjoy the treat with friends.
The McFlurry Party is a supersized version of the chain's famous ice cream treat. The dish itself comes in an oversized cup paired with several smaller cups so that it can be portioned out and shared with others. The gigantic container also comes with a lid, for those who want to save a portion of the treat for later.
Filled with enough ice cream to serve two to four people at a time, the McFlurry Party adds a social element to one of McDonald's most beloved desserts.
