sir are you all right let's face it your fast food guilty pleasure may taste great but did you ever
wonder what's being whispered behind the back of some of your favorite menu items so here are 10
fast food items you should never order according to reddit chili from wendy's i'm never eating
chili again former wendy's employees on reddit claim that there is one main menu item that they
highly discourage customers from ordering although wendy's is well known for their square-shaped
burgers and delicious creamy frosties they carry a lot of other unique menu items some
that apparently are not worth your time or the potential stomachache the menu item that should
be left off of your order according to reddit is wendy's chili wendy's claims that the chili
is full of fresh hearty fillings including beans and beef this doesn't sound too crazy right well
apparently the beef that is in wendy's chili is actually the meat from burgers from the previous
night a lot of the meat that gets overcooked throughout the day ends up in the chili a day
later additionally former employees claim the chili is not fresh to begin with and that it is
frozen and sawed multiple times essentially until it is all sold is the chili worth buying if you
don't have an issue with older meat being reused you will probably still buy it we never judge
you're getting hot or cold with me milkshakes from sonic or anywhere really mother oreo smoothie now
milkshakes as a whole seem to not have a good reputation among fast food employees across the
board it seems these high-calorie creamy treats are a total mess when it comes to hygiene and
preparation a former sonic employee took to reddit to explain that the milkshake machines are often
the hardest to clean and so they're the thing that is the most overlooked in the restaurant
this lack of cleaning tends to lead to a buildup of chunky solids and this employee suggested
skipping milkshakes from fast food chains for this very reason not just sonic hey janet that looks
like you oh no no no that must be um my evil twin another reason not to order a milkshake they are
full of sugar fat and usually have more calories than advertised it seems that because employees
sometimes put more or less of the milkshake product in their cups depending who is preparing
the drink the nutritional value that you often find online or in store may not be as accurate
as you think if you are trying to be a bit more health-conscious milkshakes should probably take
a back seat for now overall maybe it's best to leave milkshakes off of your future orders
at least until you know those machines are clean reality was dangerous subways tuna tuna for tj jj
turkey tj tuna one thing we really can't resist the smell of subway when the doors open and the
aroma of freshly baked bread hits you it's hard to imagine anything better however there seems to
be some controversy over one specific type of sandwich that can be ordered from the popular
chain according to reddit current and former employees of subway believe that the one sandwich
to avoid is the tuna sandwich fish is always a touchy choice but apparently there are valid
reasons why this is the case at subway apparently the tuna that subway uses is always just a bit
well funky the tuna salad they make in-house is mostly mayo so it definitely isn't a healthy
choice despite being advertised as one in addition to this they tend to keep it a bit longer than the
other proteins available often using the same tuna for a few days despite the fact that it sits out
on the counter for a majority of the time if there was a way to be assured that the tuna was prepared
fresh each morning most of these apprehensions would disappear as one current subway employee
on reddit suggested just skip the fish mashed potatoes in general i made them by hand
one side that is offered at places such as kfc and popeyes is mashed potatoes creamy soft and
reminiscent of thanksgiving mashed potatoes are a great side to have with a meal especially chicken
however there is one thing about fast food mashed potatoes that have made employees of
fast food restaurants discourage customers from ordering them on reddit a current employee of kfc
explained that their mashed potatoes are made from powdered potatoes and that they are by no
means fresh the same employee said that the same applies to the gravy that is often served with
the mashed potatoes it is simply a powder that is mixed with water the first thing we do is we add
a little extra gravy to the mashed potatoes now powdered potatoes are not the craziest thing you
can purchase them in the grocery store and many families use powdered potatoes on a regular basis
it's a lot easier to add some water to a powder than it is to boil and mash potatoes
by hand we'd totally get it employees of kfc on reddit claimed that although it isn't the
grossest thing to eat powdered potatoes they would always recommend ordering fries instead
and we are more than happy to oblige oh what about fries you want some fries taco bells ground beef
i have ground beef under my fingernails but it should be it's hard to find someone who doesn't
enjoy a good taco or burrito and taco bell is often a great choice for those seeking ones that
are tasty and cheap although you probably don't think twice about how the meat at taco bell is
prepared there seems to be a bit of a cause for concern a former taco bell employee took to reddit
to warn potential customers to avoid eating the ground beef from the tex-mex chain holy guacamole
the reason he claims that the process to heat and cook the beef is pretty disturbing apparently
taco bell's ground beef arrives frozen to the different branches and it also arrives in a bag
in order to heat the meat employees boil this bag and watch as the meat turns to a brown but
sometimes gray color this process sounds less than appealing however once seasoning is added
and the meat is seen by the customer it looks absolutely fine another reddit user suggested
sticking to the other meats that taco bell offers such as their shredded chicken if you
don't have an issue with meat that is boiled in a bag then keep on buying those tacos we
won't blame you they taste pretty good this is a real alarm chicken from domino's is is this
chicken hell no there are so many different pizza toppings to choose from that it can be difficult
to decide what kind of pie you want to order from a simple cheese pizza to a meat lover's delight
pizza is one of the most customizable fast food items that you can get an ex domino's
worker posted on reddit about his experience working for the popular chain in the uk it seems
that there is one meat topping that he believes people should stay away from what is it chicken
this ex-employee explained that the chicken the domino's uses on top of their pizza is usually
really old at his specific location managerial staff would re-date the chicken so that it
could be used for longer meaning some of the chicken that customers are consuming could be
well out of date he also added to this post that the chicken wasn't stored properly as this
is one ex-employee's experience this may not be true for all domino's locations but odds are if
it's happening in one it's happening in another maybe we'll pass on the chicken just to be safe
no i want dominoes mcdonald's fries with no salt what's it taste like when you think of mcdonald's
you can automatically smell the aroma of their famous fresh crispy fries however did you know
that some people order these fries in a very specific way although fries do not seem like
something you can customize as you do a burger or a sandwich people actually try to do it all
the time according to reddit there is nothing more annoying to mcdonald's workers than people
ordering fries without salt it seems customers of the well-known fast food chain are trying their
best to obtain fresh fries every time they go to mcdonald's by asking for them to be made salt free
and then asking for separate salt packets from employees cheeky this essentially forces the
mcdonald's employee to make a whole new batch of fries without salt which can be pretty time
consuming especially because it doesn't seem like this request is being made to help individuals
sodium levels a former mcdonald's employee took to reddit to explain that when customers make
this request employees tend to pretend that they have run out of salt packets just to prove a point
the same employee suggested next time instead of ordering mcdonald's fries without salt people
should simply ask for fresh fries and they will oblige it may take a little longer but at least
you won't have an angry employee handling the food you are about to eat although we all want fresh
fries we should probably be a bit more mindful of how we ask for them in the future also who really
wants fries without salt hey it's raining fries panera bread soup amongst other things tell him
about the soup dear although no one expects fast food restaurants to provide them with an extremely
fresh gourmet meal there is a general expectation that the food being served was prepared with care
one former panera bread employee took to reddit to give their take on the company's food one thing
that this employee mentioned was that the soups from panera bread used to arrive frozen to their
store in a plastic bag much like the meat from taco bell mentioned earlier just like taco bell
the employees heat the soup while it is in the bag by placing it in a pot of boiling water when
the soup is fully thawed the bag is subsequently opened and moved into a different bag until served
you may be thinking what's the matter with some frozen soup reheated face it the only power you
have over me is this little secret that i know you're not gonna tell well it's not only the soup
that arrives and is heated this way the pasta they receive also follows the same process as panera
bread does advertise as being a more fresh fast food restaurant it is surprising that their food
is anything but that in fact the same ex-employee told fellow reddit users about how the bread from
panera is not even freshly baked in the store bread arrives to the store only slightly baked
and the employees finished baking it in the store to provide the illusion that it was baked on site
lots of mixed signals coming from panera bread but a bit of reheating and extra baking never hurt
anyone right wow i have it canned bread orange chicken from panda express panda that's impossible
panda express is a fast food classic for those who love american chinese food the company was
started in 1983 in california and has since opened locations all across the world there are so many
great signature dishes from black pepper angus steak to kung pao chicken among many others one of
the most famous items from panda express is their original orange chicken made up of crispy nuggets
of chicken tossed in a delicious orange sauce that is somehow both sweet and very spicy as famous as
this item is it has found some controversy online as to why it should be avoided at all costs
the first reason given was that the oil that panda express uses is old and unfiltered the second
reason was that this specific meal actually has a ridiculous amount of sugar in it even more than is
advertised online or in store panda express claims that per serving of their original orange chicken
there is 19 grams of sugar although some may argue that if panda express uses oranges in their recipe
that of course there is sugar the majority of the sugar in this meal is added another reddit user
claims that they keep the older pieces of fried chicken for way too long eventually using the
orange sauce to make the chicken appear fresher and moister but users on reddit couldn't deny
one thing the original orange chicken is still absolutely delicious that's all i need ice yes
basic ice now people are saying that you think you colder than me according to employees from
various fast food chains the ice you get is usually not that clean one former manager of
a starbucks stated pretty bluntly on reddit that people should stay away from the ice at
the popular coffee chain he explained that the ice machines along with the ice bins are never cleaned
and when they are they usually find mold hidden away who knows how long before someone notices
well your tongue works although most ice bins have a cover on top to avoid any cross
contamination or anything falling into the ice they revealed that they usually forget to cover
it during busy shifts having the ice uncovered has led to multiple ick-worthy situations no one
wants anything but ice floating in their cup the thought of anything else is simply cringe-worthy
the same goes for the ice machines the same ones that you see employees at your favorite
fast food chains pressing down at a soda fountain to dispense your ice it's probably best to skip
the ice and hey you end up with more soda in your cup anyways order up more and tap that screen for
