Rashik Sahid, 24, created a website with just 2,000 lines of code that includes a map that shows which ice cream machines are not working at tens of thousands of different McDonald’s restaurants across the US.

Developed by Sahid mcbroken.com A few weekends this summer, after trying to order ice cream at a McDonald’s house in Berlin, Germany, the machine broke down.
This excuse has become a common refrain around the world Countless memos over the years. “Why did McDonald’s ice cream machine break down?” Constantly asking in places like Twitter.

“I created it as a joke because it is common knowledge that the machine will always crash,” Zahid told CNN. “So in the beginning I wanted to get to know myself.

If the ice cream machine breaks down or sinks due to cleaning (which It’s a general excuse In the past), Zahid said, ice cream orders would be removed from McDonald’s app cart. When that happens, a red dot appears on mcbroken.com’s website indicating that an ice cream is not available at that location.

Restaurant locations that do not offer ice cream may not have been updated recently due to a flood of web traffic to the site, Sahid said.

Since launching the project on Thursday afternoon, mcbroken.com has collected more than 732,000 page views, said Sahid, a self-taught programmer.

Visitors to Mcbroken.com include David Tower, Vice President of McDonald’s US Communications and Government Relations.
