You're out driving and you feel like ice cream. The closest place is a McDonalds, so you pull into the drive-thru and place your order, only to be told, "Sorry, our ice cream machine is down." It's a first-world problem, sure, but it's still a bigger headache than the ice cream headache the cone might have given you.

Finally, a way to find WORKING McDonald’s ice cream machines — right from your phone! Ice Check will tell you if the machines are UP or DOWN in real-time, using crowd-sourced info and input from participating locations. As seen on NBC, Playboy, FoodBeast, Cooking Panda, and DC Inno! No login required. Just let the GPS locator lead you to the nearest cone, sundae, milkshake, or McFlurry! Also: bookmark your faves, share your find on social media, and “flip the switch” to update the app for fellow Ice Checkers." The free app is available for Apple phones only. Sorry, Droid phone users.


Another reason iPhone is better than a droid.

When my wife was pregnant, she constantly craved McDonald’s hot fudge sundaes with extra hot fudge. Thank goodness they are cheap.

I have a low tech app that does the same thing. I wrote "YES" on a piece of paper.

Why are the machines down so often? What kind of rusty piece of shite are they using to serve people ice cream?

Pulls up to McDonald's drive thru.

Me: I would like a small vanilla shake.

Lequitia: Shake machines broke.

Me: I have an app that says it is working.

Lequitia: I don't care what your app say. Shake machine is broke.

Drives to Chick-fil-A

Me: I would like a vanilla shake.

Brittany: My pleasure sir.

It's just a photo of the machine and you save it to your home screen. Photo says "Iss broke".

Chick Fil A is so friendly. I know they are trained to smile and everything....but that combined with the clean dining room and prompt service makes it a superior fast food chain to Mcdonalds.

Cane's is very similar. Friendly and clean.

After you sit in line like a dumbass for 33 minutes because everyone and their mom went to chic fila. Serious question though, is that why their lines are always so long, because McDonald's never had a working ice cream machine?

They require significant effort to clean and well, you figure out the rest.

Nothing but lies.

They took it apart and cleaned it prematurely.

People who sit in the drive through are dumb, if you get down and walk in you have your order within 3-4 minutes every time.
