From what I was told about my local McDonald’s:
The reason is that people flip when they’re told “we’re cleaning the machine right now” and demand the ice cream immediately, so they say it’s out of order so customers don’t question it. Cleaning the machine takes a long time so they try to have it done before their shift ends. So a lot of times they stop serving ice cream after midnight, sometimes even after eleven. Not every location does it at the same time, but there are predictable patterns the machines “breaking”
I feel for Americans and their broken McDonald’s ice cream machines… McFlurrys are bomb af
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.
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.
They can’t legally call it ice cream. It ain’t ice cream.
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.
