The notorious unreliability of McDonald's soft-serve machines has become a cultural phenomenon, leading to the creation of McBroken, a tracker for malfunctioning models across the U.S.
The new exemption allowing for quicker repairs comes after years of frustration; previously, only the machine's manufacturer could perform repairs, limiting access for employees.
This change marks a significant moment for the right to repair movement, which advocates for greater consumer access to tools and information needed for product repairs.
In a political context, the ice cream machines’ issues have gained traction, even becoming a talking point in the presidential race, showcasing their widespread relevance.
