    I’m not that often in Maccies but I’ve never heard of the flurry machine being broken, I’ve read it’s a US thing due to the maintenance contracts

    That said the meme still works in Europe because I’m pretty sure they’re not allowed to call that hydrogenated vegetable oil-filled shite “ice cream” here 😂

      Hydrogenated vegetable oil? The stuff that is used for soft-serv in the US is ultra-thick sweetened, vanilla flavored, milk. You could put it on cereal, if you really want diabetes.

      Ingredients: Milk, Sugar, Cream, Corn Syrup, Natural Flavor, Mono And Diglycerides, Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum, Carrageenan, Vitamin A Palmitate.

      As per usual, the explanation is corporate shitfuckery.

      Video explanation

      tl;dr the company Taylor manufactures the ice cream machines to fail without any explanation or diagnosis process, then charge wildly exorbitant fees to fix them, and cut McD’s in on the profit. Some franchises found ways around this and McD’s just ordered them to stop. So the franchises just leave them broken as often as possible.
