Show of hands: Who in El Paso.. and pretty much anywhere, has been a victim of McDonalds infamous “Sorry, our ice cream machines are down” phrase?!. If you raised your hands then just know that you are not alone! It’s such a problem that someone created an actual website, McBroken.com, which reports that around 10-15% of McFlurry machines nationwide are out of order at any given moment. Yep, it’s that serious, and yup I have been a victim of this phrase many times!
