For real though, this is ALWAYS A THING!
It may seem like the McFlurry machine at McDonald's are always down... but hang tight fam because these machines aren't really BROKEN!
Trust me, it's a good reason why they're 'down'...
According to a new report from The Wall Street Journal...
McFlurry machines to undergo a four-hour-long heat-cleaning cycle to nix any bacteria, every day.
A company spokeswoman told the The Wall Street Journal...
"We regularly service our soft-serve equipment during off-peak hours. Customers who come in during that time may encounter a longer wait time or soft-serve dessert unavailability."
It's actually an 11-part cleaning process that "involves combining a sanitizing mix with warm water, removing and rinsing seven parts, brushing clean two fixed parts for 60 seconds and wiping down the machine with a sanitized towel."
