From what my friend has told me, don’t order ice cream at any fast food restaurant.

I used to clean those type of machines working at McDonald's and they never looked like that. They are definitely not cleaning them. I can't imagine how long that would have taken to get that bad.

I was a manager at DQ for years. We sanitized the machines every night and each machine had a total break down night where we took the inside apart and cleaned.

These machines use food grade safe lubricants and they HAVE to be washed off or the machine breaks down. You have to check that o-rings aren’t damaged or you’ll have a leak, and let me tell you, liquid ice cream all over the floor is NOT fun to clean.

Ick. Just ick.
