Jeff Bezos Buys An Ice Cream Machine For His Home: Is He Living Out A Dream Or Sick Of Restaurant Machines Being 'Out Of Service?'

Have you travelled to a restaurant to order soft serve ice cream or a shake only to learn that the ice cream machine was temporarily out of service? You’re likely not alone as there is a common joke that McDonald’s Corp MCD ice cream machine is always down. Billionaire and Amazon.com Inc AMZN founder Jeff Bezos won’t have to worry about this problem anymore.

What Happened: A report from The Verge shows Jeff Bezos as the new owner of a CVTeeny soft serve ice cream machine, from Los Angeles ice cream company CVT Soft Serve.

“I just did an ice cream delivery to a guy that now has CVT on tap in his house 24/7. Thank you Jeff Bezos for being our first residential #CVTeeny client,” an Instagram post from CVT reads.

The CVTeeny is offered on the company’s website for offices, college cafeterias and restaurants. A cost for the machine is not listed.

A rival company Kytch Inc states that Taylor created a tool designed to repair the machines and has a monopoly on repairing the machines.

McDonald’s ice cream machines not working have been a running joke for many years and even led to the creation of Mcbroken.com, a website that tracks which McDonald’s ice cream machines which are currently out of service.
