What Are the Odds The McDonald’s Ice Cream Machine Is Down?

July is National Ice Cream Month, and maybe you were hoping to celebrate with a cone or a McFlurry at McDonald’s? You MAY need to rethink that. According to a new report, McDonald’s ice cream machines are reported down 10.4% of the time, especially in Southern states like Mississippi and Oklahoma. As for cities, Cleveland, Tennessee is the “broken-machine capital of America”, you’ll only have a 53% their ice cream machines will be working. As for OHIO, we have a 78% chance that you’ll get served (or a 22% “No Ice Cream For You!”) The website ActionNetwork.com has a form (click HERE), where you can enter YOUR town, and it’ll tell you the likelihood that the machines in your area will be working. The only city around here that shows up is Lima, which the form says “Proceed with caution” there’s about 20% chance the ice cream machine aren’t working, across 6 tracked locations (compared with the national rate of 10.4%). The McFlurry machine is the “Bigfoot” of fast food, everyone swears they’ve seen it working, but somehow never when you’re there.
