Funny thing is that over here in Europe the ice cream machines seem to work almost all the time. I understand that it’s because they use a different brand of machines, but I’m not sure about the details.

Canada here, never encountered a broken machine.

They are down for maintenance frequently, but nowhere near as frequently as the American locations that have the fucked up contracts with the machine manufacturer.

Seems like something that is location dependent. I go to McDonald’s far more than I’d like to admit and like I said, I’ve never seen them down.

Thanks! That was remarkably well done.

The interwebs seem very, very concerned over Mac and Don's supperclub's ability to provide an awful excuse for "ice cream" in the world's worst cone. Stop the madness. Touch grass and eat real food, nerds.

Look, I'm addicted to sugar fat and salt okay.

It's almost never broken. I have only been turned away for a broken machine one time ever, and McFlurries are more or less a monthly treat.

Sorry to break the internet meme, but I'm pretty sure this isn't all that common.

Fortunately there is objective data: https://mcbroken.com/

I feel for Americans and their broken McDonald’s ice cream machines… McFlurrys are bomb af

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

They can't legally call it ice cream. It ain't ice cream.

[–] smigao@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I had one yesterday after 3 years. Is good

So this "joke" is still funny in 2024 huh?
