That’s not what Occam’s razor would suggest at all. That’s a silly conspiracy theory that’s easily verified as false if you know anything about the ice cream industry or just bother to Google who makes the machines.
Occam’s razor might suggest that their competitors use a different machine entirely (I really don’t know but Wikipedia’s page on Taylor only mentions McDonald’s).
McDonald’s corporate making a bad decision about a machine seems a whole lot simpler than some convoluted conspiracy theory, doesn’t it?
- CamperBob2 2y agoMcDonald’s corporate making a bad decision about a machine seems a whole lot simpler than some convoluted conspiracy theory, doesn’t it? That excuse wears thin after 10+ years.
- mattmaroon 2y agoIt’s not an excuse, almost everyone agrees they screwed up. But it’s an explanation. They likely signed a long term contract. Then a few years ago they allowed franchisees to use another brand.
- dmix 2y agoAccountants at these places evaluate the cost of replacing all the machines with a new vendor while still paying out the old contract vs internet comments I’m sure they’ve done the math somewhere, and possibly determined this is more of a meme than an IRL business liability
- mattmaroon 2y agoIt should be noted that even though McDonald’s began allowing franchisees to use another brand years ago, most still do not.
