The Real Reason McDonald's Ice Cream Tastes So Good

As any fast food connoisseur knows, there’s more to a restaurant than its primary savory fare. Sure, burgers, fries, and fried chicken can make for a delicious meal, but what about dessert? For a lot of McDonald’s customers, the Vanilla Soft Serve Ice Cream is just as worthy of a visit as the company’s famous Big Mac.
Whether it's summer or winter, one thing customers can count on with McDonald’s classic soft serve cone is its incredible flavor. But what makes this tasty treat so special to fans of the Golden Arches? This is the real reason McDonald's ice cream tastes so good.

You can't get non the machine is always broken

[@willywonkalucretia]

The ICE CREAM at McDonald's has a very buttery taste which is delightful, delicious and delectable.

[@RichBergin]

Wouldn't know. The machine has been down for cleaning since August 1989.

[@lilitharam44]

Yep!

[@The_Vanished]

I anticipate this comment blowing up lol

[@PrettyinPink93]

😂

[@paulhansenofficial]

The ice cream machine is a business Monopoly. There's a whole documentary on it.

[@Charliegirl2]

I quit trying to get ice cream from there. You are right they always cleaning that machine.

Thank you very much, so much fluff

[@RC-br1ps]

Thank you!

[@huus5682]

thanks sir

[@faerieSAALE]

I found a privately owned ice cream shop where I live that serves two of my favorite shakes - Banana and Strawberry Cheesecake. Their waffle cones are so huge you cannot eat them fast enough before it's melting all over you. So I switched to a waffle cone in a dish with a broken-up waffle cone in it.

[@johnkane2517]

Too much information. I just wanted to know if it's real ice cream. The recording went on and on about nothing.

[@MrGleeiscool]

Ok I’mma say it my McDonald’s ice cream is never broken I’m always able to get a ice cream sundae there

[@MrGleeiscool]

@@BR549-8 not just this McDonald’s every single McDonald’s I’ve been to so if the machines not working the people working just don’t want to run the machine

[@garlandragland]

I've never had McDonald's ice cream because the machine is never working

[@RJM316]

I don't recall ever ordering "ice cream" from McDonald's. Perhap's I'll test it out this summer.

[@sonyafox3271]

I love it because, it’s not sugary or salty!

[@115dancingqueen]

We don't have the huge selection of ice cream stores you have in the US but I prefer Macdonalds ice cream to any other including Hagen Das or Ben and Jerries. It's the best

[@t.s.9656]

There isn't a single fast food joint I don't like. Yum-yum to all of them.

[@oxygon2850]

@1:00 Says "no artificial flavors or preservatives" and @3:33 Says the recipe was changed in response to a "call to remove artificial flavors from its repertoire"... SO which IS IT?????

[@krestaleonard2128]

They don't serve it where I am anymore. I miss the caramel sundaes and the price too.😕

[@Semiam1]

McFlurry born in Canada? Learn something everyday.

[@brianmoody2549]

The flavors and tastes bring the people back,McDonald’s have’s the right ingredients to make fresh and delicious ice cream.

[@allenwatkins4972]

I've never eaten at McDonald's in my whole life. Thankfully.

[@guycore5478]

We don't need ice cream. We need the fried apple pies back!

[@Ky0927]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 whenever their machine fu*kin works

[@apictureoffunction]

If you really enjoy the flavor and texture of soft serve in particular, the brand Blue Bunny has a new line of flavors called "Blue Bunny Soft" and the vanilla one tastes exactly like McDonald's/DQ soft serve. They also had a minto chocolate chip flavor and a cookies and cream flavor (two of my top 3 favorite flavors) but I wanted to test out the vanilla first.

[@thepamperedgoddess3279]

I’m nervous to try it… I hope what you’re saying is true ❤

[@apictureoffunction]

@@thepamperedgoddess3279 I was skeptical before trying it, but it really does taste like the soft serve you get from places like Dairy Queen, and has the same texture

[@nazirulnaim5418]

I remembered during my 1st year at college, I usually walk one n a half mile back n forth alone just for this saudae cone, then go back once I done. I don't really like McDonald's burger rarely ordering it though, but their oce cream yeah I'm taking it once a weak especially after work at Friday, these small treats keeps my moral at bay 😂, after a hard days work.

[@fireestyle]

everytime i go to McDonalds their ice cream machine is "down" lmao

[@beece16]

I'm pretty sure all the comments will mention it,but as a kid I enjoyed their ice cream. As a teen and adult the dang machine is always broken.

[@L1...]

The movie "The Founder" (Michael Keton) is about how McDonald's was established. Good movie.

[@Msxmz]

The fact I'm watching this while eating ice cream

[@benvasilinda9729]

I came here to find anyone who may have ever tried their ice cream. Every time I ask, they always say the machine is down. This has gone on for decades.

[@Charliegirl2]

I really thought it was just the one I go to. Looks like this goes on in all the McDonalds.

[@gamingman3575]

The 🍦 machine is ALWAYS ""BrOkEn"" 😂

[@michaelalfandary1643]

It's more important when you buy ice cream bars and things like that at the store that you make sure that it says ice cream bars and not novelty desserts

[@basterdgz]

Lol u lucky if the ice cream machine works

[@2010mistersoftee]

You can alway get Mister Softee the”Very Best”

There was one that put a touch of clove in. They stopped. I am bummed.

[@ed7519]

Where???

[@andrewstencel]

Just here to say that the first McDonald's ice cream stall was settled on my home town, Curitiba, Brazil.

[@andersonsystem2]

The dumb ice cream machine is always broken . If they get it working then it’s a good day Lmao 😂

[@TheRenard10]

This makes me want to post, that more than 30 years ago, my mom and I were walking, one cloudy day, there was this Mexican woman crying while speaking in Spanish, and eating some ice cream, while this man walked with her. Probably because she lost somebody.

[@jerryeskridge4798]

It Ok at MC D's but I'm when it comes to a fast food dessert heading to Diary Queen...

[@sonyafox3271]

I mess those caramel milk shakes that McDonald’s had out for a few yrs, they were loaded with caramel. Another thing I miss from McDonald’s is the orange milk shakes they had from the 70s till the early 90s, which they brought back on occasion. They called it the Arctic Shake and, they usually put it out during the Christmas season. I was devastated when, our Mr. Frosty quit running around this area yrs ago. No matter if it came down our street in Ohio or at my grandma’s in Indiana, I could here that bell and spot it right away, As soon as I seen it, I would tell my parents or my grandma to hurry he’s coming, I need money. And, I always was first in line, even in the hot summer, I would always end up be first in line, and, it was such a regular thing that one of my neighbors got jealous and pitched a fit to the driver, he’d say, I can’t do anything about that, first come first serve. I remember first just being the soft serve, then, he started adding chocolate covered ants/ sprinkles, then he went from chocolate covered ants to what he called rainbow colored ants, to rainbow sprinkles. I love soft serve ice cream and when, the ice cream truck changed to the Good Humor Truck, it just wasn’t the same and all the soft serve options were really expensive then, so, I was rarely able to get it, it had to be a special treat.

[@JoshKeatonFan]

Your narration is always so great Allie James!

[@bexraphaela]

I just found out that the soft serve recipe in the Netherlands is: Wheat flour, canola oil, sugar, potatostarch, soy lecithin, milk protein, stabilizers and salt. Like are you kidding me? Basically just wheat and oil 😮

[@naufalnoorizan1763]

Who's eating McDonald's ice cream while watching this

[@TheMacedonianBackBreaker]

No one cuz the damn machines always broken

[@FUNNYMANERICWHITE]

Me lol

[@vee5315]

Cool that the McFlurry was invented in Canada!

[@lemdixon01]

Mac Slurry

[@Stache987]

Now McDonald's is getting flack for habitually not cleaning their machines, now it's as much as $1.49 a cone around here, nowhere, USA.

[@caniacjoe]

2:12 Mashed didn’t do their research. Apple pie, ice cream, and caramel is an “apple pie a la mode.” Diced apples (typically used in the oatmeal), ice cream and caramel is the “caramel apple sundae.”

[@rdalin]

I presume t his only applies when the McDonald's ice cream machine isn't broken.

[@Grimreaper45705]

Back when McFlurries were actually blended

[@joyfuljaj]

The description with the ingredient list for Mc Donald's soft serve is "vanilla reduced fat ice cream".

[@OllieOxyn]

There was so much unneeded fluff in this video 😑

[@seanswinton6242]

It tastes good whenever the ice cream machine is works which is rare. A tire rotation and oil change is about the same schedule! Everytime I've gone to my local McDonald's, there always a reason why I can't get ice cream, so I stopped going.Sincr the pandemic, forget about it! While other restaurants have opened for business, they're still strictly slow understaffed drive-thru only! An hour for a meal is ridiculous. Thank God for Wendy's, Baskin-Robbins, and some local ice cream parlors. They need to adopt Chic-Fil-A's drive-thru method.

[@timothyhirsch4960]

DQ cannot be called ice cream as well it is called "ice milk"

[@daveklein2826]

If they call it ice cream, then it's ice cream

[@daveklein2826]

What does your comment have to do with McDonald's?

[@skittlekitty_fn]

1:37 fr, mcdonalds ice cream Is the only icecream that taste good with plain vanilla (Am I wrong?)

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

am/pm used to have ice milk ice cream cones was great

[@shazam_daghost3427]

What if the real ingredients is a strange liquid that comes from a cows balls, then frozen and added sugar.😂😂😂

[@michaelburke491]

I heard taco bell is coming out with shake's to compliment their delicious burritos etc..... yum 😋 yum......

The best part of their ice cream is actually the chocolate and caramel toppings.

How could you possibly even know what it tastes like? The machine is always broken down.

[@thepunadude]

JUST TELL ME IT ISNT BABY MEAT ... LIKE THEIR HAMBURGERS

[@skaterb0i520]

Yum

[@Oldbmwr100rs]

Oh yeah, the frosty at Wendy's is always good! Oh wait, McDonald's? Yeah I've had their stuff a while back in the sundaes and it was no better than anyone else's frozen dairy stuff. Oddly I recently had dairy queen and the blizzard was really good. McDonald's more than anyone seems to have taken advantage of the covid crap, raised their prices and lowered their quality even more. Screw them.

[@georgiapuppie]

I like their chocolate shakes better than any others. But several times I've gotten vanilla because they forget to add the chocolate syrup. They replaced them and I froze the vanilla shakes. I've offered them to several neighbors and nobody likes vanilla.

[@thomasaquinas2600]

The profit on these cones is absolutely tiny, if anything. Factor in the equipment and extra labor, and this whole thing might just be a means of pushing Dairy Queen around. That's interesting, as Warren Buffett has had huge holdings of both of them at various times. Anyway, to me this whole thing is moot: I have not found a McDonald's in the SouthEast that still sells ice cream...

[@jamesbing8561]

25 ¢ in 1940 money is equivalent to about $530 worth of purchasing power in 2023

[@davidatovar]

FOSTERS HAND DIPPED CONES.

[@benjamind2008]

There is no vanilla here in Aus, it's sweet cream and tastes like sweetened cream. I prefer vanilla. The new choc version should be nice.

[@juliovaldez6711]

McDonald's ice cream is good. Sundae chocolate is good. Have a nice day Which is your favorite ice cream?

[@simpletroll]

Chemicals.

[@gobbletegook]

Does McDonalds still use lard in its ice cream?

[@nomad90125]

It depends what your perception of good ice cream is. As a chef, i ate Mc D Ice cream and was very disappointed. But i can ony assume people today no longer know what is good or bad due to the fact they are literally born & raised eating things they are told are good. Unfortunately the brain excepts this level of programming very quick because humanity are aways seeking something good.

[@wrxstigrl]

It’s not good though, I just had it today and it wasn’t as creamy as before but more icy. I felt like I was eating a vegan ice cream cone.

[@henrybal3052]

Its because of the machine not working properly sometime. I had that happen to me too before.

[@windingstars]

Must have been a fluke. I'm having one now and it's so good I had to Google what makes it so good 😂

[@tennvols1221]

Not anymore they changed the mix

[@solarismoon3046]

Not any more - their machines are always broken! And the MSG in all the crap that they sell. This is why everyone thinks it tastes so good as well as the VEGETABLE OIL in it!

We’ll the ice cream is never available when I asked for it.

Where are these people who don't eat ice cream in winter?!? Sure, it's more popular in the summer. But, it's a year round thing. Otherwise, it'd be a seasonal product.
