While the soft serve at Mickey D's is thicker than BK's and far less likely to drip, it still tastes more like frozen whipped cream than actual ice cream. The standard cake cone also leaves something to be desired — like BK's, it's just a little more flavourful than cardboard. Also, though this is not the fault of the ice cream itself, we're pretty sure that every McDonald's ice cream machine is broken at least 70 percent of the time.
