McDonald's is getting rid of their McFlurry machines

So, it's reasonably well known that McDonald's McFlurry machines seem to ALWAYS be broken.

And we've been wondering why this is even a thing.

It sounds like McDonald's has finally answered our prayers. According to The Wall Street Journal, McDonald's is installing new ice cream machines in both the U.S. and Europe.

We're not sure when the changeover will happen but we're stoked that it's coming and hoping it'll roll out in lil' old NZ.

The reasons for the original machine's issues were varied, but were mostly attributed to the fact that the machines took so long to clean. Therefore, employees would start the process way too early, thus denying us of late-night sweets.

The new machines are apparently way easier to maintain, with less parts. With new machines, we can only imagine what is going to happen to that weird McFlurry spoon!!
