Someone created a website that tracks broken ice cream machines at McDonaldโs, and itโs genius
But alas, while you may have gotten your Big Mac or McChicken, the ice cream machine is yet again broken, and your McFlurry dreams have been crushed. Not only are you upset, but so are the kids in the back seat who just wanted an ice cream cone. If only there was some way you could have known the ice cream machine was down, so you could have gone to a different McDonaldโs with a working machine.

Only a true @McDonalds fan would go to these lengths to help customers get our delicious ice cream!
