oh wow who doesn't love a good Scandal well not these restaurant chains that's for sure so let's
find out why and check out 10 insane fast food scandals Subway bread is not bread this fresh
delicious tasty Subway stories an interesting one the fast food restaurant has managed to make
its Mark among Mega chains like McDonald's and KFC serving only sandwiches it's true that the
chain is incorporated other menu items to keep up with the competition but their sandwiches
have always been the main attraction one of the most appealing parts of a Subway sandwich would
undoubtedly be the fresh baked bread because as we all know there are a few things more delicious
than the smell and taste of freshly baked bread unfortunately Subway's bread isn't exactly bread
in fact the product leans more towards the cake or confectionery side this is due to the surprising
amount of sugar content present in Subway's bread and 20 20 an Irish Supreme Court ruled that
Subway's bread could not be defined as bread due to the aforementioned high sugar content Subway
Ireland attempted to appeal the decision but the Irish Supreme Court was having none of it pointing
out technicalities dealing with sugar to dough percentages and the ruling stood strong so the
next time you find yourself in a desperate search for just the right dessert and meal kill two birds
with one stone and grab yourself a Subway footlong Krispy Kreme Club what are you guys doing here huh
are you in a Ku Klux Klan fans of The Simpsons oh no Krusty the Clown you might also know that the
famous cartoon clown like to change the initials of some of his events to match the K in his name
like the Krusty comedy classic awkward yet funny absolutely that that type of thing would never
happen in real life would it well ever hear of the Krispy Kreme Club okay on the surface
using the letter K to match the brand spelling is simply a clever and fun Choice nothing wrong with
that right unless of course we abbreviate then we have a hefty bit of controversy on our hands
this was the problem Krispy Kreme faced in 2015 when one of the donut chains UK locations decided
to change the spelling of club with a c to club with a Krispy Kreme Club Wednesdays was a series
of planned events for children during a week-long break from school however the unfortunate triple K
acronym was noticed right away and caused quite a bit of backlash suffice it to say it didn't
take long for all posts to be removed from the franchise's social media Pages being associated
with the most notorious hate group in the U.S is not a good look and it didn't take long for the UK
franchise to issue an apology hopefully the less than observant person responsible for marketing
at the time was relieved of their duties after this Fiasco McDonald's fries not so vegetarian
McDonald's french fries are delicious in fact they just so happen to be the most popular item
on the burger Chain's iconic menu that's right those golden brown fries salted to perfection
even outsell the Big Mac so it's safe to say McDonald's fans are quite fond of the fries so
what's the secret behind the iconic Burger chains famous fries beef flavor at one time the golden
arches deep fried their french fries in beef fat and while the burger chain eventually claimed to
have switched to vegetable oil in the mid 90s traces of the flavor continued to be found in
the cooking oil the famous franchise was sued as a result of their continued use of beef products in
their cooking oil by three vegetarians who claimed that they were misled by the mega chain however
McDonald's countered by stating they never claimed their fries were vegetarian ultimately McDonald's
ended up donating 10 million dollars to charity groups and the classic fries are still cooked
for those beef product additives to this day however outside of the U.S the chances that those
McD's fries are actually vegetarian go way up as different cooking methods are used in different
countries first time here then go ahead and hit that subscribe button and never miss out on a new
video thanks now back to the scandals Kendall Jenner's Pepsi ad my God there's nothing wrong
with being rich or more specifically being born into a rich family however sometimes growing up
rich can somewhat remove you from The Real World Sheltering you from the various problems that
happen to affect those that aren't as fortunate this can compel those wealthy individuals to
attempt to gain a social conscience and make a change using their money connections and
influence with that being said this was not the case with Kendall Jenner and her unfortunate Pepsi
ad and 2017 Pepsi released a commercial starring Jenner the ad features Jenner in the middle of
a rally that was quite obviously inspired by the black lives matter rallies of that period Jenner
approaches a police officer enhance him a nice refreshing Pepsi which causes the protesters to
cheer and pieces shared by all with both Pepsi and Jenner to thank releasing an ad featuring
police and protesters around the height of the BLM movement and wasn't exactly a great idea however
for Jenner to not only sign up for the ad but to be completely oblivious to how the subject might
be perceived was a major misstep by the young wealthy socialite to say the least of course we
can't forget that PepsiCo was responsible for the well-intentioned yet misguided ad to begin
with so shame on them as well Taco Bell's mystery meat with hard shell tacos you've gotta bite them
from the bottom Taco Bell while tasty will never be confused for fine Mexican dining however most
people who visit the franchise are well aware of that fact the Mexican fast food chain is all about
serving up quick and delicious food at affordable prices rather than trying to Dazzle customers with
authentic five-star South of the Border Cuisine however this doesn't mean that customers haven't
raised an eyebrow when it comes to some of the ingredients used by Taco Bell such as their beef
in 2011 a class action law it was filed against the Mexican fast food chain claiming that their
beef was only 35 percent meat Taco Bell countered that their recipe contained 88 beef with the
remaining ingredients being water flavoring and spices while the lawsuit was eventually dropped
the damage had been done and the stigma of mystery meat continues to Sully Taco Bell's reputation
despite this the franchise hasn't really seen a drop in clientele perhaps Taco Bell lovers simply
don't care what the meat is made of and care more about the taste expired meat at McDonald's and
KFC Meat Locker no is there anything worse than expired meat never mind the smell there are some
serious health issues associated with expired meat so the idea of a fast food restaurant knowingly
serving their customers expired meat is not only disgusting but almost impossible to believe
unfortunately in the case of a few McDonald's and KFC locations this in fact actually happened in
2014 a group of undercover reporters discovered an American-owned Factory in Shanghai was changing
the dates on their meat products that had expired these products were then sold to both McDonald's
and KFC's Chinese locations this Revelation saw KFC's parent company yum brands dropping
the meat distributor in favor of a new supplier McDonald's on the other hand continued to use
the same supplier but would get their meat Supply from a different plant just in case you might want
to take an extra look at that Big Mac and make sure the only green new spot and the burger is
the lettuce Papa John's racist remarks Chop Shop come on come on next Papa John Schnatter is a
polarizing figure the man in his popular Pizzeria have been caught up in enough controversy that an
entire video could be devoted to Papa John's alone with that said the outspoken founder has often put
his foot squarely in his mouth when speaking about a variety of topics however his comments
during a 2018 conference call definitely take the cake a pie or pizza pie in this case during
a call between Schnatter some Executives and their marketing agency the Papa John's founder
thought it was a good idea to address his feelings about the backlash about comments he made about
the NFL a year prior Schnatter went on to express that KFC founder Colonel Sanders had referred to
African Americans in derogatory terms with zero public backlash Schnatter went on to
use the actual racist word during the call are you talking about inexplicably the Papa John's
founder continued to speak about atrocities he personally witnessed against African Americans
in an attempt to show how much of an anti-racist he truly was this only served to offend most of
the people on the conference call ironically this conference call was set up to prevent
PR nightmares and mishaps from taking place Burger King's patties have what in them faster
when we think of the mega Burger chains two names will likely spring to mind McDonald's
of course and their perennial Nemesis Burger King while Burger King may always be considered second
to McDonald's the franchise has managed to differentiate itself from its rival with
various menu options such as onion rings and even established its signature Burger the Whopper long
before the Big Mac unfortunately Burger King found themselves caught up in the middle of a
horse meat scandal at least in the case of some European locations in 2013 it was revealed that
some European BK meat suppliers were mixing horse meat into their ground beef well no horse meat was
found within any Burger King products themselves the chain ended up changing meat suppliers just
to be on the safe side McDonald's three million dollar coffee lawsuit coffee is hot and she's
driving all crazy and she spills a little on the left McDonald's has transcended its humble
beginnings as just a simple burger joint joint and has become a major part of Pop Culture when
it comes to McDonald's famous food the mega chain wasn't satisfied with only offering Big Macs and
some of the most beloved fries in restaurant history and decided to add premium coffee to
its menu McDonald's has become pretty serious with their coffee over the years however the
burger chain has had some issues involving one of their locations and a hot cup of java in 1994 an
elderly woman named Stella lybeck visited her local McDonald's and ended up receiving third
degree burns to her pelvic area after being scolded by her exceedingly hot McDonald's
coffee lybeck ended up spending eight days in the hospital while undergoing skin grafts followed by
two years of medical treatment liebec sought to settle with McDonald's for twenty thousand
dollars enough to cover her medical expenses however after the burger chain refused the
whole matter went to court ultimately lieback would walk away with almost 3 million dollars
after the jury found McDonald's 80 percent responsible for live X injuries the incident
dubbed the hot coffee Scandal left McDonald's with a rather large stain on its otherwise clean track
record this type of incident has affected other fast food chains with varying degrees over the
years but none are as Infamous as the McD's hot coffee incident Jared's Fell From Grace
oh man he don't look that bad remember those Subway ads featuring Jared Fogle the man who
credited Subway's sandwiches for his massive weight loss during the early 2000s Jared's face
was so associated with the Subway sandwich that he became the official spokesperson of
the franchise the subway ads featuring Fogle were lighthearted often showcasing the former 245-pound
man's massive pants which often encompassed his entire body during this time Fogle would
establish the Jared Foundation a non-profit organization focused on raising awareness
about childhood obesity through educational programs and tools provided to parents schools
and Community organizations everything was all well and good not until 2015 when the FBI and
the Indiana State Police raided fogle's home and arrested him for charges involving miners what
what'd I do what I do this wasn't the first time Fogle had been mired in controversy as the former
Subway spokesperson's name came up during an investigation into similar accusations involving
the former director of the Jared Foundation needless to say subway released a statement
that same day addressing the controversy and distancing themselves from Jared and removing him
as the chain spokesperson as well as dissolving their business relationship Fogle pleaded guilty
and is currently serving a 15-year prison sentence check out more great videos just tap or click and
