McDonald's advertisement at Broadway City Hall SkyTrain station, Vancouver, BC (Detail)

It is the 20th anniversary of something called the McFlurry. A combination of some very cold dairy-like material along with broken bit of cookies or candy.

And according to McDonald's this is a Canadian invention on par with the telephone, electric oven, and snowmobile. Or perhaps the McFlurry could just be a way to get rid of the boxes of cookies and candy that got broken when they fell off the loading dock. Or perhaps I'm just far too cynical for my own good.
