Saw in MSN (link was broken at the time) and Spiceworks (quoted below).
Also, mine displayed an X if the machine was down (much nicer way to
distinguish for us colour-blind people!



And you can't not know this.
Looking for a McDonald's with a functioning ice cream machine?

This site has you covered. Picture this: it's any time of the day, and
you're craving some delicious soft serve ice cream. So you go to
McDonald's, only to be told that the machine is broken, or that they
found a dead cockroach in the mix (true story!). Well, golly, maybe you
should've checked this site before you went out. It's called mcbroken
and it will solve at least one of your problems (only 98 left to figure
out!)

According to The Verge:

"The site displays a map of every McDonald's location in the US, denoted
by clusters of dots. Locations with a working ice-cream machine get a
green dot; locations without one, a red dot. A column on the right
compiles statistics - currently, 7.54 percent of McDonald's ice-cream
machines in the US are broken, as are 15.22 percent of those in New
York.

Rashiq Zahid came up with McBroken over the summer. In July, he visited
a McDonald's in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin and attempted to order
a McSundae from a touchscreen kiosk - but no ice cream was available. He
attempted to order from the mobile app, but was similarly thwarted. "I
was like, there must be something that can be done about this," Zahid
said. So he built a bot."

I checked around my house and I'm officially surrounded by functioning
ice cream machines. What a time to be alive!
