don't eat that oh some things sold at the golden arches are not good either
for your wallet your health or your taste buds so here are 10 McDonald's items you should never
order [Music] ice cream this ice cream tastes like crap by the way ah the infamous McDonald's
ice cream machine it always seems to be broken no matter what time of day it is or whichever
location you go to but maybe it's actually a good thing that the machine is so frequently out of
order because they can be nasty that's real nasty in 2017 it was reported that a McDonald's employee
was fired after they posted photos of some strange black Gunk that came from the drip tray underneath
the ice cream machine a spokesperson from McDonald's HQ claims that the tray the gunk
was in does not come into contact with any food and that the ice cream machine is required to
undergo regular And Timely cleaning but the employee countered by saying that that never
Lots they said that they never saw anyone go near them maybe skip the ice cream at McD's
if the machine is working that is and go to the specialized ice cream parlor down the
street instead it probably tastes better anyway here eat this catch up oh ketchup
to be fair you don't really order ketchup unless you ask for extra on your burger or
some of those little packets with your fries but this entry concerns the dispensers that
squirt out everyone's favorite red tomato sauce according to a post by a McDonald's
employee on quora they emphatically warn you not to use the ketchup dispensers they are
cleaned which is more than can be said for some other equipment at the restaurant but they reuse
the ketchup the employee revealed that during the cleaning process the ketchup is put into
another container then the dispenser is washed and then the old ketchup is dumped right back in
while it's true that this practice saves on cost and waste it's still kind of disgusting who knows
how long the ketchup you get has been sitting there exposed to air and oxidation ketchup has
preservatives that can make sure it can't rot or get moldy but it can still get stale that's why
we keep it in bottles at home instead of an open tub sometimes it's better to keep the genie in
the bottle and if this isn't enough to turn you off in 2018 a woman in England saw live maggots
swimming in the dispensers you can't get much more disgusting than that I hope they at least
throughout that batch of ketchup just stick with a little packets of ketchup they give you those are
Factory sealed and are perfectly fine you seal the shaft now big breakfast with hotcakes breakfast a
big breakfast breakfast is the most important meal of the day or so they say but if you order the big
breakfast with hotcakes it should probably be the only meal of the day for you this gargantuan meal
consisting of a sausage patty scrambled eggs hash browns a biscuit and three pancakes has 25
grams of saturated fat which is 5 grams more than what is advised for an entire day you've got your
thighs rubbing together from fat then you need to think about what you're eating it also comes with
a total of 1330 calories which is more than twice as many calories as a Big Mac a lot of calories
so if you're passing by a McDonald's in the morning and decide to stop for a quick
breakfast just saying no to this Behemoth and opt for something leaner and smaller like an
Egg McMuffin instead your body will undoubtedly Thank you new to our Channel then take a second
hit that subscribe button thanks McRib huge McRib problem the McRib is one of the most famous items
on the McDonald's menu is it really gone for good who knows but whenever they do have it
it's basically a national news story people will go out of their way to stop at McDonald's just to
get their hands on one of these babies but the McRib probably isn't all it's cracked up to be
OMG the McRib is back according to a report from one McDonald's employee on Reddit the McRib is
literally just Spam in a rib-shaped mold yum well I suppose if you like spam that might be fine but
according to another employee on Reddit the McRib appears on the menu when pork side products Market
charts reach yearly lowest in other words the ultimate form of cheap undocumented labor it's
made out of all the random Parts discarded during The Butchery process of pork and is only available
when the prices are at their lowest you have to wonder what the markup is for one of these
sandwiches in case you doubt the validity of these reports McDonald's itself appears to back
up the first statement thanks to a 2014 video in which you can see that the meat is molded into
the familiar McRib shape that's Frankenstein's monster perhaps all the hype behind this thing
is a bit overblown when you take all this into account just go eat some spam yourself if you
have a craving for the McRib while it's in the off season you don't even need to mold it and
it's probably healthier for you too the McRib is surely not worth the hype and Fanfare around
it well that's overrated milkshakes I'll drink normal milkshakes to quote the song by Kalise my
milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and they're like it's better than yours while the
exact recipe for kalisa's milkshake is uncertain it's highly likely that she doesn't work at
McDonald's a McDonald's employee revealed on Reddit that the milkshake machines frequently
got crusty and that the cleaning regimen on them was lacking they said that they are cleaned every
two weeks and that every night the milk is heated just to kill off bacteria and the nozzles are not
cleaned at all they followed up by saying that the milkshake Gunk gets caked on that sounds
absolutely nasty well it tastes delicious if this isn't enough to turn you off McDonald's
milkshakes the health facts should a large has 830 calories and 110 grams of sugar and if you
want to order one of the famous St Patrick's Day Shamrock Shakes you should know that a 16
ounce shamrock shake has 550 calories 13 grams of fat and 82 grams of sugar there's
a lot of sugar yes milk shakes are an explicitly unhealthy dessert food but you should know what
you're getting into before ordering one of these everybody knows that milkshakes are unhealthy but
most people probably don't think that they are this unhealthy you came for the milkshakes and
the moat shakes only sausage egg and cheese biscuit and McGriddle I had a big breakfast
a breakfast sandwich like this sounds good doesn't it three great hearty Foods between a biscuit what
could go wrong how about your blood pressure one of these things has a massive 1140 milligrams of
sodium it's just a simple breakfast sandwich how does it have this much salt in addition to having
enough salt to entice deer this thing also has 34 grams of fat 15 of which are saturated fat that's
over half the recommended daily allowance hey either way this is definitely not a healthy way
to start your day just like with the big breakfast with hotcakes you should probably opt for a simple
egg McMuffin or another smaller lighter food item they have let's keep it light large fries
it's bigger than that Chris it's large one of the absolute Classics of the McDonald's menu
a single order of large fries is best shared with a friend or partner why it's because one of these
orders contains a whopping 490 calories that's more than a double cheeseburger in addition it
has 23 grams of fat 400 milligrams of sodium and 66 grams of carbohydrates one nutritionist even
suggested the comically small serving size of six fries was the addition of a salad to bulk up the
size of the meal six measly fries combined with a salad it seems absurd and many people agreed
as he was dragged through the mud on social media but it still makes you think about how unhealthy
these fries really are Double Quarter Pounder with cheese two minutes on a treadmill 20 minutes on
a quarter pounder the Double Quarter Pounder with cheese it sounds so appetizing doesn't it two big
beef patties with a nice slice of cheese on each of them what could be so bad about that how about
the fact that this bad boy packs a whopping 740 calories and 42 grams of fat 20 grams of which
are saturated fat 20 grams of saturated fat is approximately the amount one human should eat in
an entire day not in one meal this is half a pound of beef which is way way more than a human should
be eating for a quick lunch break if you must have this have it for dinner and don't even think about
ordering a side of fries order a salad instead that way you can eat more vegetables beyond the
sad slices of pickles and onions which come on the burger eat your vegetables foreign sweet
tea this is too sweet while it may be a staple of meals in the Southern United States sweet tea is a
horrible item to order at McDonald's why well the health aspects are the main issue according to a
tick tock video created by a McDonald's employee each gallon of sweet tea and yes they do make it
by the gallon has a pound of sugar in it something being made by the gallon should be a red flag in
and of itself to quote Gordon Ramsay gallons what do you serve this to pigs pigs are smart do the
math and you'll find that a 16 ounce cup of the stuff has 1.6 ounces of sugar that is 45 grams of
pure sugar more than anything else on this list except the milkshakes and those are explicitly a
dessert item maybe order a regular cup of tea that would be a much healthier option and add
the sugar yourself so you can measure it one or two spoonfuls is enough or maybe even zero for
the maximum health benefits a 9 nice cup of tea is good for you but tea That's this sweet is not
here we go perfectly normal cup of tea soda don't drink that hey without a shadow of a doubt one
of the worst items to order at McDonald's has to be the common fountain drink this is for several
reasons McDonald's soda is terrible for both your wallet and waistline as well as other facets of
your health too the fact that tooth rotting soda is terrible for your health is not exactly a new
one and it's a sacrifice so many of us make if that's not enough to scare you away from the soda
fountain how about a financial reason to never get soda the price markup and now my pockets are
empty restaurants pay pennies on the dollar to buy soda in bulk and can charge over a thousand times
the price in pure profit and if all this wasn't enough to make you order water instead how about
this on Reddit an employee revealed that the ice machines were never cleaned never not even once a
month or anything something that is never cleaned cannot possibly be sanitary [Music] [Applause]
really want to get a soda on the go buy one at a place where they come in the factory sealed
bottles or cans all in all just say no to the soda fountain just say no just say no just say no stick
