Wendy's $1 Frosty Deal Is Making Fun Of McDonald's Broken McFlurry Machines
Your move, Ronald.
The beef between McDonald's and Wendy's is simmering once again, and this time, it's to our benefit.
It's no secret that McDonald's broken ice cream machines have been a pain in the you-know-what for years. Well, to ensure that we all have a reliable option for our dessert fix, Wendy's is selling its Frosty for just $1 from now until September 30.
The latest deal from the fast food chain comes after Wendy's discovered some less than appetizing stats from McBroken.com, a website that tracks when McDonald's ice cream machines are broken.
"Using data from McBroken.com, Wendy's saw that dessert fans are faced with ice cream machine outages all too often and knew just what the fix was a Frosty! Wendy's knows that when fans are craving a sweet treat, they deserve to have a reliable and delicious option," read a press release from Wendy's.

Of course they have young employees who they don't train and who have no clue about having to make sure these are TURNED on and WORKING. There used to a running joke among communicable disease control public health programs across the country who often would place in-house bets on the cause of Salmonella outbreaks in their community. And they were right more often than you'd think.
McDonald's doesn't typically serve any standing (previously cooked) food products such as this, so they will get by with pointing the finger.
