you know our secret recipe is a secret you can't handle the truth Wanna Know A Secret of course
of course uncover the top 10 strangest fast food is it's more than likely Frozen I thought it was
supposed to be a fresh turkey no matter how hot and toasty your burgers or fries are there's a
very high chance that it was frozen frozen food is everywhere in fast food restaurants because it's
the cheapest and easiest way to preserve large amounts of food for long amounts of time this
applies to higher end restaurants too but the major difference is that Frozen items in better
restaurants are almost always made on site with few exceptions for fast food chains like Dunkin
and Starbucks that sell baked goods it's highly likely their pastries are made off-site and Frozen
for who knows how long one Starbucks employee testified in a buzzfeed article that we left
a sausage patty outside for six months once untouched no deterioration that doesn't sound
right unless their restaurant is in Antarctica that doesn't exactly give us hope that the Patty
is fresh and biodegradable vegetarian options might not be vegetarian it's called Beyond KFC
it's all plant-based soy if you don't eat meat better sing twice about ordering from a fast food
joint in the United States there's no specific law or regulation that states vegetarian foods
must be actually vegetarian there is a law that states that all labeling must be truthful and not
misleading but given the language that may be open to interpretation there's no legal definition of
vegetarian this means that there might be some animal products and fast food dishes that are
labeled as vegetarian or vegan or plant-based as an example Burger King's Rebel Whopper which
launched in the UK in 2020 was marketed as 100 plant-based but lo and behold since it's cooked on
the same Grill and Broiler as the regular beef Whoppers there's cross-contamination between
the two the same applies to their U.S impossible Whopper and this sort of meat cross-contamination
applies to other Foods as well you might think that McDonald's fries or vegetarian
since they're just potatoes and salt but in the U.S they're fried in oil would be flavoring see
how it runs full time so remember meat products might be hiding where you least expect them in
the fast food environment Dairy Queen soft serve is not real ice cream what did you say
hold on down put down the cone just yet it's not like their ice cream is made of mead or lard or
anything their ice cream is still made with cow milk like their name suggests the dairy and the
Dairy Queen name is accurate but according to the United States Food and Drug Administration in
order for a product to be labeled as ice cream it must consist of at least 10 percent milk fat Dairy
Queen so-called ice cream is only five percent milk fat this means it must legally be referred
to as ice milk or alternatively reduced fat this is really just a technicality however and Dairy
Queen is upfront about it on their website you can find a disclaimer in their frequently asked
questions section they say technically our soft serve does not qualify to be called ice cream
would this stop you from ordering a blizzard yeah that's what you wish Steve yeah didn't think so

McNuggets are less than 50 chicken I deep fried chicken nuggets man before you swear off McNuggets
forever you should know that this is not quite as bad as it seems it's true that by mass and volume
an average McNugget has less than half chicken but this doesn't mean that the bulk of the meat
is filler or some nefarious chemicals there's no pink slime used in making a chicken nugget
and there's no other meat involved oh right well that is good to know it just so happens that the
copious amount of breading and seasoning take up so much of a McNuggets mass that the end
product is approximately 45 percent chicken each nugget has two separate layers of breading oil and
seasoning which provides for a lovely texture and a lot of flavor but it obscures the actual
point of the food it's more McNugget than it is chicken one could say grill marks are fake fake
hey hey the lovely grill marks you get on a fast food burger or piece of chicken is not
what you might think when you see those beautiful black lines on the food you may assume that's
because that part of the meat touched the metal Grill directly and thus got burned fossa which
is Latin for wrongo they are charred but not by a grill a machine called a rotary brander
most likely created those marks Instead at a factory off-site the rotary brander consists
of a number of large metal discs over a conveyor belt the discs are heated up to oven temperature
and where the discs make contact with the food the black lines appear thus the meat arrives
at the restaurant pre-branded then it's heated up by the cooks in the restaurant kitchen and
served one alternative to the rotary brander is an electric charcoal starter the kind used for a
barbecue this produces the black grill marks much the same way without the food actually touching a
real cooking grill not all fast food joints do this fake grilling Burger King and Chick-fil-A
are known to offer real grilling the McRib is not as luxurious as you think in conclusion
ah the famous McRib people will do anything to get their hands on one of these bad boys but
it might just be the most overrated food on any menu at any restaurant in the world in reality a
McRib is little more than a big block of spam that was formed in a mcrib-shaped mold all the workers
at the McDonald's restaurant do is put it on a griddle dip it in sauce and then into a bun with
the onions and pickles this was shown in a tick tock video by a McD's employee who went through
the process of creating one once it was ordered for something that is in such high demand and is
such a draw for McDonald's that they announce its return as if it's a world-shattering event
you would think that it would be a bit higher quality and more formal not just a molded brick
of boneless pork meat according to a 2014 video from McDonald's itself that is literally all it is
molded frozen pork and according to a Reddit post by someone who claims to work at McDonald's the
McRib is back whenever the price of pork products is lowest so the McRib is likely just a glorified
hot dog if anything yeah yeah technically yes maybe tone down the enthusiasm next time it comes
to town that's if it returns again McDonald's recently announced that the last release of
the McRib would be the last but with the buzz the sandwich generates no one really believes
them the food in the ads is not edible look at this sorry miserable squashed thing of course
it had to be too good to be true almost nothing in food advertisements is real there are people whose
entire job is to make food and advertisements look delectable these people are called food stylists
they use items and ingredients in many creative ways but during the process the food is rendered
disgusting or outright poisonous the sesame seeds on a hamburger bun are glued in place to make them
stick to the bun better Bubbles and a foamy drink like soda or beer are usually soap stacked foods
like pancakes or hamburgers have their size propped up by insert 30 pieces of cardboard
between the layers and in the case of Pancakes they're often sprayed with a water repellent
substance like Scotchgard so that the syrup has an easier time sliding down them boys frozen foods
like ice cream or ice cubes would melt under the Hot Lights of the studio so they're often replaced
entirely ice cream is usually replaced by a nice tantalizing scoop of lard and ice cubes in an
advertisement are usually just plastic facsimiles remember the point of all this is to make the food
look presentable not taste good this has landed companies in hot water on occasion in May 2022 a
loss it was filed in New York Stewie McDonald's Wendy's and Burger King for false advertising
based on the fact that the real life burgers are much smaller than the ones shown in advertisements
according to the lawsuit the advertisements use raw patties to inflate the size since meat
shrinks when it's cooked nothing has come of the lawsuit as of February 2023 but if it succeeds
food stylists might be an occupation of the past the packaging might be toxic eat it you typically
don't eat the packaging of a food item unless it's explicitly designed to be eaten like a bread bowl
but that doesn't mean it still can't have negative health effects according to a study from 2017
published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology letters 46 of the tested food
wrappers including fry sleeves Burger wrappers and beverage containers had toxic chemicals called per
and polyfluoroccal substances or pfas for short these chemicals have been linked to several types
of Health disorders such as cancer immune system toxicity and development issues in children as
well as many others these are not chemicals that should be near food under any circumstances but
many fast food companies use them why when the wrapping paper is treated it becomes resistant
to grease so when you get your burger or fries the paper doesn't immediately get soggy and fall apart
of course it's nice to not have your packaging break down but it's probably not worth all
the potential health risks some fast food chains including Burger King Tim Hortons and Popeyes have
promised to phase out the use of pfas chemicals by 2025 and Chick-fil-A has eliminated them entirely
fast food salads and wraps are not healthy Ron would you like some salad since I am not a rabbit
no I do not buying a salad at Wendy's or a wrap at McDonald's might seem like you're passing up
the unhealthy greasy burgers for a lighter type of fare but that's not exactly the case often
these salads wraps and other things that seem to be lighter on the surface hide more calories than
you think for example take the Caesar mcwrath with Crispy Chicken from McDonald's sounds nice doesn't
it it's a chicken Caesar salad but in a convenient wrap format you can take on the go however if you
take a look at the nutrition facts you'll learn that this wrap has 550 calories that's only 20
less than a Big Mac are you being serious it also has over a thousand milligrams of sodium
which is more than 40 percent of the recommended daily value Wendy's Southwest avocado salad has
570 calories and 930 milligrams of sodium and if you add the entire packet of dressing that sodium
number jumps up to a massive 1250 grams and then there's the Wendy's taco salad which is really
stretching the definition of the word salad with a colossal 690 calories and almost 1900 milligrams
of sodium if you want to eat healthy actually eat healthy go to a health cafe or even make something
yourself just avoid these faux fast food salads it seems McDonald's doesn't even offer salads anymore
in many places thanks to 2020 Health measures which force them to streamline their menu that's
just one less so-called healthy option to tempt you with so much waste where you going with that
to throw it out no that's a waste pack it up we'll take it to go fast food restaurants go
through a lot of food but not all of that food is served to customers sometimes the food goes bad or
gets moldy or contaminated or otherwise becomes inedible and has to be put in the trash but a
lot of perfectly good food is tossed as well take for example Duncan a viral Tick Tock from January
2021 showed a worker throwing 30 trays of donuts and donut holes into a trash bin she says that the
tragic waste of pastry is a company policy because the employee could be fired or sued if they served
substandard food and a culture as litigious as the United States that is a real possibility one
employee of a Canadian coffee shop stated that Donuts had to be thrown away after eight hours
this sounds good since they've been sitting out all that time but the waste does add up and before
you think about going dumpster diving note that restaurants will sometimes stop you from raiding
their trash like a raccoon again for fear of a lawsuit some restaurants have come up with
interesting ways to reduce waste however it's a semi-well-known fact that old Wendy's hamburgers
are cut up and put into the their chili another example are baked potatoes at some fast casual
restaurants that are turned into hash browns not bad not bad but the most common way to reduce
waste is to just serve old food old does not necessarily mean bad but it does often mean that
the food you're served is stale or otherwise past its prime according to Reader's Digest a majority
of Taco Bell items can be served over the course of multiple days with little more than a reheat to
create the illusion of freshness so when you go to the drive-through and get your food remember
that it might be older than you think always remember that order up another great video just
