It's because of a deal corporate has with Taylor (the ice cream machine company). Basically they build the machines to break and it's in the franchise contract that only trained Taylor tech are allowed to do repairs, and the repairs are not cheap. So yeah, basically corporate McDonald's and Taylor have a lucrative deal to rip off restaurant operators. You need special codes to do anything and people were getting them online so they could do it faster and cheaper, only for the restaurant operators to be sued by Taylor.
If McDonald's was basically developed by a successful milkshake machine salesman then, how come their current ice cream machines are always out of service?
I just hate when they say they say they out of ice cream. However its good to know that, because it mean they are cleaning it. Its usually around 7-9 pm then until the next day at lunch.
Fun fact. They aren't broken the employees are just too lazy to clean it everyday. Contact corporate and it'll be magically fixed in that location within a couple days
And why is it impossible to get a waffle at Waffle House? It should be renamed Hash Brown House because the waffle machines all have been broken since 1973.
Rays biggest mistake was entering into the franchise contract. He should have just done what the other chains did and copy their system into his own fast food joint. But the real estate idea was absolutely genius. I think the best part about Ray is the fact that all of his ideas pretty much benefitted everyone in the system, not just him. Also, the fact that he took a kid from a fry boy into the board room that eventually helped the company succeed even more than it already was is evidence of how great Ray was at judging someone’s character. He probably saw potential in a lot of people that most could not.
Ray probably was too decent (relatively!) to just steal someone's idea. It shows - compared to other businesses McDonald's very much played it fair towards the competition and what not. So he entered the unfair contract and had to deal with it for years, probably hoping McDonald brothers will be on board with him in his decisions.
@@wrmusic8736 McDonald’s brought the guys from other chains into their stores, so probably wasn’t the best idea from a competition perspective. Not stealing if they invite you in like “look at how we make burgers so quickly.”
It seems that he wouldn't have had enough money to start his own fast food chain at that point. When he was working for McDonalds to find the franchise operators, the operators would pay the initial cost of setting up their restaurant, not Ray
I'm about to sound like a huge nerd... but I love videos like this... uncovering things I've never known or probably never thought of... I love learning the unheard history of things... Thank you❤
When I was a young kid, we had very little. The rare times that we got to go to McDonalds and get a Happy Meal with a toy was one of the only times we got something extra as kids.
I do remember some of those toys. They are collector's items now. Our school teams would celebrate victory with DQ or McD and 20 Happy Meals at a time were simply fun with toy trading and stuff like that. Good memories.
Imagine being a descendant of the McDonald family, seeing your last name lighting up accross the world and not receiving a single cent for it. Bitterness would be an understatement.
The brother's were well compensated for their idea. $28 million dollars for a single restaurant and some basic ideas about making food? Not anyone's fault that the brother's were terrible negotiators. If I had been in their shoes, I would have said "Okay Ray, let's build this huge" but instead the brothers bogged them down and were small thinkers.
1st time I ate Micky Ds was 1961. It was cheap and delicious. With Mom and Dad in the station wagon, all 9 of us had burgers, fries and a coke for less than $5.
I did a job for an old man who when he was a kid worked for a speedy's Mc Donalds and the old man who owned the franchise got tired of running it and just turned it over for free to this kid who was only 16 when he started working there. To this day this is one of the most successful McDonalds. About 10 years ago he sold the old speedy sign on the arches to the local mueseum for $100k.This old man was one of the most deserving as he was the humblest old man with money ive ever seen and didin't live like a rich man.
I live in France. Many years ago i met the man who had the first franchise in Paris. The french being french started changing the recipes by adding garlic etc. He had the franchise taken off him.

Ray Krok did not "steal" McDonalds from the brothers, if not for Ray, McDonalds would have remained a single restaurant in California, and the brothers would have ended up with a fraction of what they got. Ray grew McDonalds to the worldwide phenomenon it is today, the brothers fought/hindered him every step of the way, they ended up millionaires thanks to Ray Krok.
From my experience Ray's are snakes. Lol At the same time Ray was taken advantage of. Ray then backstabbed them but he went too far. Including adultery? He inevitably had the bros get rid of what they first created the root then he took over. Honestly though, the quality of what it is today is TRASH. Even if it "expanded" the decrease in quality or authenticity of the food is AWFUL and devastating. Including the overall atmosphere even compared to the 90's. Despite the fact it's a billion $ business it's still trash. Pay their workers decently. But endure some of the crappiest customers you can get. Thanks RAY

McDonald’s brothers sold their company. Nothing scandalous about that. You can tell from their history they wanted to be moderately wealthy and not work too much. At this point everyone knows about the McDonald brothers. They should have negotiated a permanent royalty tho. That’s generational wealth. That was dumb. Ray would have done it for sure. Nice work man, your docs are so well edited. A lot of footage that has nothing to do with the story but I see what your doing.
Not necessarily criticizing. But there is a bunch of footage f from non related movies. Catch me if you can etc. dude puts a ton of work into these obviously, so like I said I get what he is doing
The scandal is how Ray offered them royalties, or something that wasn't in writing(if the story stands true), but later didn't fulfill his promise. And before you start telling me about how this was the brother's fault keep in mind I'm not defending anything. I'm just telling you what the scandal was.
If they were intelligent they never would've negotiated a million dollars each after taxes! Instead they should've demanded a one percent royalty in perpetuity! 😢
It's funny... The guy that stole McDonald's. Was a ice cream machine salesman.... Every time I have ever been to McDonald's the ice cream machine is broken.
Not sure if folks are ready for the Disney Truth.... It's grossly Dark. Like Zuckerbucks just a Face for FaceBook, Ol Walt was a just a Face & CIA asset too, as well as 33rd degree Mason & I won't even get into all the symbolism in Disney cartoons all connections to Pedophilia!
I used to just throw my McDonald's Monopoly tags in the trash, sometimes unopened because, I never heard of anyone winning anything from McDonald's and didn't believe it was a real thing. Plus, I always received the same dang sticker everytime. I was convinced there was only one game piece printed.

@@airplanemode870 we know that most of the footage is from the netflix series. but editing is not as easy as you think. making this kind of video requires a lot of research and work.
My first trip to McDs was in 1967 in the SF Bay Area for a burger. It was a rare occurrence to eat there before Big Macks and Quarter Pounders. We knew it was a treat only then 4 times a year maybe. Later it was often 4 times a week randomly in my 40s and 50s but no fries. The swop from saturated fat deep frying to Veggie oils did more to hurt our heath than anything as veggie oils were a con job by Ancel Keys of the CDC a vegan pathologist who facts on heart disease and cholesterol were made to fit his theory by lying and rigged results to match his prejudice against meat but not Smoking. Much like Dr. Anthony Fauci recently.
BRO I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS CHANNEL FOR 3 YEARS AND YOU HAVE NEVER DISAPOINTED ME WITH YOUR CONTENT I LOVE YOUR CONTENT VERY MUCH . THE VISUALS,CINEMATOGRPHY STORY DETAILS IT WAS GREAT THANK'S FOR GIVING SUCH DETAILED INFORMATION
It has been a very long time since anyone described McPukes as "quality food". 🙄 Today, those shakes don't even have enough milk in them to be called "Milkshakes". 🤣
That's a scam against the franchise owners. They have to get specific, unreliable machines that display what might as well be gibberish that employees don't have a handbook to decipher. So, even if the problem is simple and easy to fix, such as the cleaning cycle couldn't be completed or the hopper is overfull, the code displayed can not be understood by the employees and they have to call in the repair company to fix it. I can't remember how this was resolved, but i think it started to be once the tracking apps that tracked which stores had their machines down started popping up. Which only happened because they always had so many machines down all the time. So, it became a noticeable problem that made McDonald's itself look bad.
@@amandap9332The machines are programmed to go down. It's so that Taylor can fix it. Taylor is the only company allowed to work on them. The machines intentionally "break" every so often so that Taylor can get called in to fix them. Or that was the case until someone created a device to catch them and put it in several machines. The exposure caused McDonald's to fix the issue or risk a class action lawsuit from franchisees.
What a superb video! Utterly compelling. I thought I knew quite a bit about the McDonald's story, having heard it in outline from several sources. However, I now realise that I knew very little. You have really filled in the gaps and have given the story context. Thank you for explaining the Monopoly scam, and the Morgan Spurlock 'Super Size Me' angle. At present McDonald's in the UK are in a a lot of trouble. McDonald's has just about the youngest workforce in the UK, as well as being one of the largest employers. MPs have received some 400 complaints about sexual harrassment, and such complaints are running at the rate of one or two a week. 18 people have been sacked. McDonald's say - as of course they would - that they take this extremely serious etc etc, but the truth is that when these young employees complained they were ignored.
Sixty years ago (an eon, I know) my father and I used to walk around downtown a lot. He would point out certain buildings and say "That building won't be here in ten years". He pointed to a walk-up McDonalds, (yep that's how long ago it was) the sign even said "Thousands served" LOLOL. He pointed to it and said "That won't be here in ten years, either". I'll be damned but he was right about every single building he pointed to *except* the McDonalds, which now occupies the entire block.
Well, your father wasn't so smart after all if he couldn't see the genius in McDonald's. Matter of fact he probably just figured almost nothing would last the next 10 years. So it wasn't like he was really analyzing these businesses. He was just doing a whole lot of assuming.
The crazy thing about the Monopoly winnings is that Jerome could have gotten away with a winning or two if he didn’t get greedy and decide to do it 15 more times 🤦🏼♂️
I've watched quite a few of these videos today and really enjoyed the longer form content. Not a fan of the multiple breaks to talk about sponsors or plugging websites- but the actual video content is really well done.
Mesnshile they lose more and more business all the time. Their answer? To raise prices more. Mcdonalds is becoming unaffordable and will most definitely disappear if they dont actually solve the problem
@@ladyrose3285you fn with us right? The minimum wage goes to $18 in 2024, not $20, and people who make $10 an hr or $10 million an hr will still be in to purchase their $20 happy meal, after all you can spend $20 bucks at the store for the same amount these days. I know their fee isn’t that high. Quit playing us
i have been binging your content lately. thank you for your effort man you dont even know me but im sitting here drinking wine and crying instead feeding into my insane interest in your content rn. i dont even know you but i love you
He did most of their mutual job when it comes to opening new restaurants and they kept refusing to increase his percentage from a ridiculous 1.2-1.7 to make him a decent living, lol. They were the greediest partners I've heard of...
The brothers may have also the foundation but it was ray who did 90% of the work whilst living on a very very bad pay, all the brothers had to was increase that service fee by a significant amount and they would have been fine
So starting 200 new stores in a 6 year period of time was not hard work? Ray Kroc was hired by the McDonald's to be a franchise agent in 1955. By 1961 he had added almost 200 new stores. The brothers did not do that. They did not have to leave their one store in San Bernadino. Ray Kroc made them rich. If starting hundreds of profitable restaurants is that easy you do it.
It's incredibly encouraging nowadays to see such professional and thorough content being created by sources without gigantic budgets. GREAT job guys😍👍👍
@@afafila Oh okay! Sorry about that. Anyway, I recently discovered the channel and have watched old videos all time along. This was the first time I'm within the first hour of the video being posted. Maybe my enthusiasm was a little too much.
The monopoly scandal was a whole other level of scam in Canada. We NEVER got big prizes the whole time that third party ran the operation. I always found it weird that commercials showing winners would only be of Americans.
Loved you video. Well done indeed. Can I ask you, how difficult was it , or how did you go about using the film footage from the film? What way does copyright work in these instances
I want to start a 'Whammyburger' fast food chain and have Chucky from 'Child's Play' as the mascot. We can even have a version of 'Happy Meals' containing real knives and guns and grenades etc, also collect tokens to get bigger stuff like Heavy machine guns and RPGs "WANNA PLAY?"
They forgot to add the part about feed lots. McDonald's wanted every burger to taste the same so they created the feed lot... And wait till you go down THAT rabbit hole 🕳️
Based on how you described the Macdonald brothers, I don't blame Ray's vindictiveness towards them. I never eat fast food, but when I did I preferred Burger King.
With how the McDonalds Brothers were with their contract with Ray,I highly doubt they would of made a deal with him by shaking hands! Great Video.First I've seen of yours! Subscribed!!!

Mabye don’t gamble the house always wins
McDonald’s brothers sold their company. Nothing scandalous about that. You can tell from their history they wanted to be moderately wealthy and not work too much. At this point everyone knows about the McDonald brothers. They should have negotiated a permanent royalty tho. That’s generational wealth. That was dumb. Ray would have done it for sure. Nice work man, your docs are so well edited. A lot of footage that has nothing to do with the story but I see what your doing.
The footage is almost exclusively clips from the McDonald's movie, is it not?
yeah
Not necessarily criticizing. But there is a bunch of footage f from non related movies. Catch me if you can etc. dude puts a ton of work into these obviously, so like I said I get what he is doing
The scandal is how Ray offered them royalties, or something that wasn't in writing(if the story stands true), but later didn't fulfill his promise. And before you start telling me about how this was the brother's fault keep in mind I'm not defending anything. I'm just telling you what the scandal was.
If they were intelligent they never would've negotiated a million dollars each after taxes! Instead they should've demanded a one percent royalty in perpetuity! 😢
Ronald was roommates with Pennywise and John Wayne Gacy back in the day. Ya can't expect him to be a good guy clown 😆 LOL
Ronald didn't bother me much but that Burger King thing just horrified all the kids. My niece wouldn't have BK because of that.
John Wayne gacy gave a bad name to clowning. He even admitted it in an interview.
@@tylerlienau7548Of course he did considering he was a serial killer.
He was a 'Good Guy'? You mean he also hung around with Chucky?

i usually rarely like videos , but the amount of work and editing and professionalism is incredible hats off to you
Ray had one brilliant mind for business. Wow. He is commendable in his own right.
0:26 "unrelenting milkshake machine salesman"
Suddenly those McFlurry issues all make sense 😆
It's funny... The guy that stole McDonald's. Was a ice cream machine salesman.... Every time I have ever been to McDonald's the ice cream machine is broken.
Getting their ice cream products is a dangerous proposition anyway. They often don't clean them properly or often enough.

Please do the Disney story, it would be incredible, a 100 year company. your videos are epic
Finally. Stories behind animation studios (even if Disney became a company now).
Not sure if folks are ready for the Disney Truth.... It's grossly Dark. Like Zuckerbucks just a Face for FaceBook, Ol Walt was a just a Face & CIA asset too, as well as 33rd degree Mason & I won't even get into all the symbolism in Disney cartoons all connections to Pedophilia!
The story behind Walt Disney is a dark one.
Now that 15 seconds for the same burger has turned into 15 minutes setting in the drive through.
I'll catch aids before I wait more than 10 minutes in ANY fast food drive thru 😅
Time is 💰
Every time magnates uploads a video, it’s a treat! Love the channel.
Always makes my day!
I used to just throw my McDonald's Monopoly tags in the trash, sometimes unopened because, I never heard of anyone winning anything from McDonald's and didn't believe it was a real thing. Plus, I always received the same dang sticker everytime. I was convinced there was only one game piece printed.
Magnet media is giving direct competition to Netflix documentaries 😂❤ Love our work .
People often confuse dropping out of high school is relevant to dropping out high school in today's standard. High school back then had university level academic teachings, before they start selling them as individual DLC in business colleges in 21 century lol
The fact that we get this for free is CRAZY! Well done!!
Recycled news and content bro easy basic edits bro wake up girl
@@airplanemode870then make this content. he's getting rich of it
@@airplanemode870 we know that most of the footage is from the netflix series. but editing is not as easy as you think. making this kind of video requires a lot of research and work.
My first trip to McDs was in 1967 in the SF Bay Area for a burger. It was a rare occurrence to eat there before Big Macks and Quarter Pounders. We knew it was a treat only then 4 times a year maybe. Later it was often 4 times a week randomly in my 40s and 50s but no fries. The swop from saturated fat deep frying to Veggie oils did more to hurt our heath than anything as veggie oils were a con job by Ancel Keys of the CDC a vegan pathologist who facts on heart disease and cholesterol were made to fit his theory by lying and rigged results to match his prejudice against meat but not Smoking. Much like Dr. Anthony Fauci recently.
BRO I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS CHANNEL FOR 3 YEARS AND YOU HAVE NEVER DISAPOINTED ME WITH YOUR CONTENT I LOVE YOUR CONTENT VERY MUCH . THE VISUALS,CINEMATOGRPHY STORY DETAILS IT WAS GREAT THANK'S FOR GIVING SUCH DETAILED INFORMATION
It has been a very long time since anyone described McPukes as "quality food". 🙄 Today, those shakes don't even have enough milk in them to be called "Milkshakes". 🤣
Biggest mystery of all is the ice cream machine
Morning shift has to clean it before leaving ... Lunch / Dinner shift just doesn't wanna deal with cleaning it at the end of the night.
That's a scam against the franchise owners.
They have to get specific, unreliable machines that display what might as well be gibberish that employees don't have a handbook to decipher.
So, even if the problem is simple and easy to fix, such as the cleaning cycle couldn't be completed or the hopper is overfull, the code displayed can not be understood by the employees and they have to call in the repair company to fix it.
I can't remember how this was resolved, but i think it started to be once the tracking apps that tracked which stores had their machines down started popping up. Which only happened because they always had so many machines down all the time.
So, it became a noticeable problem that made McDonald's itself look bad.
@@amandap9332The machines are programmed to go down. It's so that Taylor can fix it. Taylor is the only company allowed to work on them. The machines intentionally "break" every so often so that Taylor can get called in to fix them.
Or that was the case until someone created a device to catch them and put it in several machines. The exposure caused McDonald's to fix the issue or risk a class action lawsuit from franchisees.
@amandap9332 yeah someone made a fix for it and then mcdicks tried to sue I believe
McDonald’s has fallen way off from where they started
What a superb video! Utterly compelling. I thought I knew quite a bit about the McDonald's story, having heard it in outline from several sources. However, I now realise that I knew very little. You have really filled in the gaps and have given the story context. Thank you for explaining the Monopoly scam, and the Morgan Spurlock 'Super Size Me' angle.
At present McDonald's in the UK are in a a lot of trouble. McDonald's has just about the youngest workforce in the UK, as well as being one of the largest employers. MPs have received some 400 complaints about sexual harrassment, and such complaints are running at the rate of one or two a week. 18 people have been sacked. McDonald's say - as of course they would - that they take this extremely serious etc etc, but the truth is that when these young employees complained they were ignored.
Sixty years ago (an eon, I know) my father and I used to walk around downtown a lot. He would point out certain buildings and say "That building won't be here in ten years". He pointed to a walk-up McDonalds, (yep that's how long ago it was) the sign even said "Thousands served" LOLOL. He pointed to it and said "That won't be here in ten years, either". I'll be damned but he was right about every single building he pointed to *except* the McDonalds, which now occupies the entire block.
Well, your father wasn't so smart after all if he couldn't see the genius in McDonald's. Matter of fact he probably just figured almost nothing would last the next 10 years. So it wasn't like he was really analyzing these businesses. He was just doing a whole lot of assuming.
@@kobiecamp1134 Pretty sure my father was a lot smarter than you.
@@Real_g.s. I doubt it.
@@kobiecamp1134 LOL, he would definitely have a better comeback than that.
@@Real_g.s. I know what I know. And I have nothing to prove to you.
I bet their food was so much better for you back in their earlier years
McDonald's is a real estate empire not a burger chain.
We've had the story of Burger King, now it's time for the story of McDonald's.
Didn't you watch the video, just asking?
The Crazy truth is that McDonald's prices have risen.
Lol that's why McDonald's is cursed with the forever broken shake machine 🤣
And why Waffle House's waffle machines are eternally broken. 😊
Make Milkshakes Great Again! 🧋🍦😂 Ronald McDonald for President
Best story telling channel for sure
Loving this channel every bit. Since we got ourselves all involved into these brothers, I would absolutely love to see Warner Brothers soon!
Great story telling mate a lot of work went in to this welldone
The crazy thing about the Monopoly winnings is that Jerome could have gotten away with a winning or two if he didn’t get greedy and decide to do it 15 more times 🤦🏼♂️
But that could be said about almost every culprit on "American Greed".
like the vietnamese lady who scammed the bank of $44 billion and is now sentenced to death. because of greed.
I've watched quite a few of these videos today and really enjoyed the longer form content.
Not a fan of the multiple breaks to talk about sponsors or plugging websites- but the actual video content is really well done.
Whether you hate them or not, McDonalds is a brilliant company. They aren't going away .
Mesnshile they lose more and more business all the time. Their answer? To raise prices more. Mcdonalds is becoming unaffordable and will most definitely disappear if they dont actually solve the problem
Reminder:Hate or not,IT IS ONE OF THE WORST FOOD THAT FEEDS CANCER CELLS.
@@ladyrose3285you fn with us right? The minimum wage goes to $18 in 2024, not $20, and people who make $10 an hr or $10 million an hr will still be in to purchase their $20 happy meal, after all you can spend $20 bucks at the store for the same amount these days. I know their fee isn’t that high. Quit playing us
@@Creative_Monkeys Lame comment.
They combine it with human flesh and rat DNA
What an outstanding presentation! Thank you!!!
65 million dollars is a drop in the bucket for McDonald’s.
i have been binging your content lately. thank you for your effort man you dont even know me but im sitting here drinking wine and crying instead feeding into my insane interest in your content rn. i dont even know you but i love you
How could Ray hate the brothers?! He owes everything to their hard work and ingenuity!
He did most of their mutual job when it comes to opening new restaurants and they kept refusing to increase his percentage from a ridiculous 1.2-1.7 to make him a decent living, lol. They were the greediest partners I've heard of...
He did most of the work while they got all the rewards
The brothers may have also the foundation but it was ray who did 90% of the work whilst living on a very very bad pay, all the brothers had to was increase that service fee by a significant amount and they would have been fine
So starting 200 new stores in a 6 year period of time was not hard work?
Ray Kroc was hired by the McDonald's to be a franchise agent in 1955. By 1961 he had added almost 200 new stores.
The brothers did not do that. They did not have to leave their one store in San Bernadino. Ray Kroc made them rich.
If starting hundreds of profitable restaurants is that easy you do it.
@@joeblow2069 Right. It was Ray's bold vision and entrepreneurial spirit that made the brothers rich and made Mc Donald's an empire.
The editor is a freaking God! Amazing!

So .. The milkshake machine outages are revenge😂
The monopoly scandal was a whole other level of scam in Canada. We NEVER got big prizes the whole time that third party ran the operation. I always found it weird that commercials showing winners would only be of Americans.
I always knew it the prizes were never gonna be won by regular customers
I have been waiting for your new video, hope you make regular videos for now on 😁
I just came here to say this is the greatest thumbnail I have ever seen.
we coulda been eating Kroc Burgers if the brothers didnt sell lol
Loved you video. Well done indeed. Can I ask you, how difficult was it , or how did you go about using the film footage from the film? What way does copyright work in these instances
0:01 no way
I just cant understand how McDonald's survived, with such terrible hamburgers
Your videos are great and informative. Kudos 🎉
Dude your videos are of incredible quality
Great scriptwritting, I was hooked from the first second.
I want to start a 'Whammyburger' fast food chain and have Chucky from 'Child's Play' as the mascot.
We can even have a version of 'Happy Meals' containing real knives and guns and grenades etc, also collect tokens to get bigger stuff like Heavy machine guns and RPGs
"WANNA PLAY?"
Imagine buying McDonald's for a mere $28M...
Billions and billions
They forgot to add the part about feed lots. McDonald's wanted every burger to taste the same so they created the feed lot... And wait till you go down THAT rabbit hole 🕳️
McDonalds is really as mysterious as their food. Wtf they got there
Bro atleast watch the video first😅

I love McDonals.. They Owe me A Lot!! Suckers!! I got YOU!!! LMAO!! I got You!!
This is just a summary of "The Founder" tho.
Funny how now we’re back to sitting in our cars 😂😂😂
Living in them too 🙃
McDonald’s bros got Milkshaked
right. arrogance and idiocy in two.
Based on how you described the Macdonald brothers, I don't blame Ray's vindictiveness towards them. I never eat fast food, but when I did I preferred Burger King.

You telling me the ceo sold ice cream machines to the original owners? Is he not aware they never work?
POV: you are one of the ones in the B role footage representing "obesity"
this was a super entertaining and educational video
i really appreciate this
TRUTH IS, every hamburger sold at Mc Donalds in every location, has human meat in the beef.
Have you ever read or heard anything that tells to what extent and how this is happening? I've always been curious about this.
Its crazy to think Ray died 12 days after I was born, but because of him I got to play on McDonald's playground in my childhood
As a McDonald's employee who hasn't even watched the video yet, all of this is true.
