SIX MONTHS AGO, a tiny startup called Kytch sued Taylor, the
billion-dollar manufacturer of McDonald's notoriously broken ice cream
machines. For years Kytch had sold a small device that hacks those ice
cream machines, letting McDonald's restaurant owners better diagnose
their maladies and make them work more reliablyonly to find,
according to Kytch's legal complaint, that Taylor had conspired to
copy its device and sabotage its business.

Now Kytch's lawsuit has revealed another side to that story: the
internal communications of Taylor itself. Recently released court
documents appear to show that Taylor's executives did view Kytch as a
business threat and worked to copy its device's features in a
competing productall while still failing to actually cure McDonald's
ice cream headaches.
The McDonalds Ice Cream Machine Hacking Saga Has a New Twist
The cold war between a startup and a soft-serve machine manufacturer
is heating up, thanks to a newly released trove of internal emails.

While not a part of the article, I find it interesting that
Burger King uses the same machines, yet doesn't have any serious
issues. Wendy's uses a similar machine for their Frosties, with no
real issues. True, they're not the *same* models, but they're close
enough to compare.

when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.
