iFixit tears down a notoriously unreliable McDonald’s ice cream machine: “The error codes are nonsensical, counterintuitive, and seemingly random.”

    Unrelated to the topic but has anyone else noticed the quality of the soft serve has gone down dramatically in the last several years. I got a ice cream cone and it didn’t even taste good. I was looking at their advert for a Mcflurry and it looked all ice crystally and not good at all. If they can’t even make the picture look good that is saying something.

        I think it’s more like

        Healthy, Fast, Cheap, Delicious

        Pick 2

          Let’s be honest it’s pick one and another may or may not be randomly picked for you.

            Cooking at home ain’t really fast, not compared to a fast food joint at least.

        Depends where you are, I’m not in the US and local ice cream sucks much more than fast food chains.
