Ice Check is a new app that lets you know, in real time, if your local neighborhood McDonald's ice cream machine is operational or not. What a time to be alive. Drunk at 2am and need your McFlurry fix? No problem, there's an app for that. Honestly, I don't know how to feel about this. It a day an age where obesity runs rampant through every generation and cheap, awful food for you is available at every gas station, supermarket aisle and carefully placed vending machine; do we really need to know if the ice cream machine is working at the McDonald's down the street?

Who am I kidding, does it really matter? This is America. Land of the free. Convenience rules everything around us. In the infamous words of Ron Swanson, "The whole point of this country is if you want to eat garbage, balloon up to 600 pounds and die of a heart attack at 43, you can! You are free to do so."

Get your McFlurry on people.
