oh maybe fast food gives you fast pimples hey wanna know a secret well not everyone
wants to let the cat out of the bag here are 20 secrets fast food chains don't want you to know
can you keep a secret mcdonald's and burger king same supplier mcdonald's or burger king
mcdonald's and burger king are thought to be the top competitors in the burger wars
they're both hiding a little known secret though osi is a private corporation that has been one
of mcdonald's largest meat suppliers for more than five decades mcdonald's chicken mcnuggets
and their burgers are made by this firm well it turns out that mcdonald's rival burger king also
uses the same company as their beef and chicken supplier what a twist there are other similarities
between the two fast food giants as well as part of burger king's latest limited time sandwich
offers the big king has been brought back online mcdonald's enthusiasts are eager to point out that
the big king has nearly the same components as the classic big mac burger king's use of the term big
in the sandwiches moniker also doesn't appear to be a subtle ploy either cinnamon twists at taco
bell or rotini pasta hey this isn't taco bell it looked like rotini pasta was being deep fried in
a now deleted internet video that showed taco bell's cinnamon twists heading into the fryer
while the cinnamon twists look like rotini cooking conventional pasta at home won't get you very far
according to one taco bell spokesperson when they were asked about the video wheat flour yellow corn
meal white rice flour and salt are used to make the twists but some internet sleuths are still
skeptical about whether or not the twists are just deep fried pasta coated in cinnamon sugar
i'm not sure the allegations that taco bell makes cinnamon twists by frying dry pasta the
same boxed rotini found in most grocery stores has been going around the internet for over a decade
cinnamon twists at taco bell aren't actually made by deep frying rotini pasta though and home chefs
can't recreate this delectable delight just by dropping store-bought rotini in a deep fryer
the grill marks aren't real on your burger the grill marks don't match dead meat doesn't lie
your fast food burger is unlikely to appear as fantastic in person as it does in advertisements
fast food restaurants will sometimes add phony grill marks to burgers to make you believe your
meal was actually cooked on a flaming grill when in reality it wasn't although the grill marks
really wouldn't add much flavor it's still a very deceiving practice that makes it even harder to
trust most fast food companies especially burger king who pride themselves on having flame grilled
burgers it's all alive before being frozen and sent these goods are often run through a
device called a rotary brander which as the name indicates brands meat with high heat grill marks
heat and control equipment can apply brown marks to various meats seafood and even vegetables for
an attractive just grilled finish adding a thin layer of sear marks is faster
and less expensive than actually grilling each hunk of meat poultry or veggie to perfection
ice may contain bacteria particles they're bacteria traps it turns out that ice machines are
susceptible to microbial contamination according to various studies biofilms can form and protect
germs from growing if listeria is shielded by one of these biofilms it might be 1 000 times
more difficult to eradicate in another study fecal coliforms were discovered in ice served
at mcdonald's kfc and burger king restaurants in the united kingdom no it's too gross under some
circumstances a dirty ice machine can carry germs and viruses the healthcare industry must be very
cautious patients with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable to infections spread by a
filthy ice machine since they are unable to resist them as effectively as healthy people
sonic's onion rings have some added flavor how about the onion rings have you ever noticed how
sweet sonic's onion rings are this is because the mixture is made in vanilla infused vats
in fact if you want to prepare a copycat dish at home you'll need to melt some vanilla ice cream
into your mixture no not doing that an online recipe author claims that vanilla ice cream is the
secret ingredient to sonic's onion ring batter the author continued that they were employed at sonic
as a teenager which is how they know the sweet sweet secret kfc's secret recipe may have been
leaked what's the fact what's the family secret recipe kfc has jealously guarded their 11 urban
spice blend that coats all of their chicken a handwritten list of the famous 11 herbs and spices
from a sanders family album was presented to a chicago tribune reporter when he was investigating
the history of kfc interesting interesting white pepper is a pleasant surprise among the spices
and herbs which also includes thyme basil dry mustard and paprika in fact white pepper may
be the ingredient that really sets the chicken apart from others white pepper wasn't commonly
used at the time of kfc's creation and was a lot harder to come by than it is now taco bell
failed when opening in mexico you want to go to taco bell taco bell has outlets in more than two
dozen countries and they serve up regional menu options such as a chicken tikka masala burrito
in their indian locations and a kimchi quesadilla in south korea however the mexican inspired fast
food restaurant has struggled in mexico where tacos are a popular meal something must be wrong
mexican cultural critics have stated that delivering tacos to mexico was like bringing
ice to the arctic after taco bell's unsuccessful effort to grow south of the border keep it moving
at the drive-thru i said french fries employees at fast food restaurants have admitted that they are
timed based on how much time it takes them to fulfill orders in the drive-through line according
to a former fast food employee if you've ever been requested to pull ahead and that they'll run
your order out to your car it's possible they're trying to fool the timer into thinking you've been
served quicker than you were oh mind games love it being under pressure to perform in a certain
amount of time while being paid minimum wage has us feeling a little bad for the employees in the
end it's really not their fault if things take a bit longer than anticipated extra may not be what
you expect you want extra countries you pay extra you've whispered the magic phrase for personnel to
ring up an extra fee as soon as you request extra when a staffer is making your burrito bowl and you
say something like a bit extra please chipotle is on to you they're now ready to up charge you the
second you even glance at the guacamole you pay now no your quest for extra guac may end up being
less costly if you can phrase your order in a way that lets employees know you don't want to pay for
the extra option but still would like a little more than normal it might not work but it only
costs a smile you can always customize your order i heard you can customize your own lightsaber
according to a fast food expert another technique to get around fast food menu restrictions is to
personalize your dish by asking for complimentary toppings or sauces you may sometimes construct a
cheaper item virtually identical to a more costly item by adding free ingredients what are you doing
life hack so go ahead and get the lettuce tomato and mayonnaise if you're feeling brave ask them to
replace your bun for a more upscale one too heck you may even be gutsy enough to ask for a couple
extra sauce packets you daredevil you burgers from more than one cow this cow yeah is here according
to one journalist an average fast food hamburger contains meat from dozens if not hundreds of
animals mcdonald's acknowledges that in the mixing process the company mixes beef from several
delivery batches and the burgers that result might contain meat from over 100 cattle that's crazy
this should really come as no surprise though as these fast food chains have to produce countless
burgers on a daily basis and in turn have huge supplies of meat ready for their customers needs
cinnabons not always baking cinnamon buns i go to the cinnabon and go nuts from the perfume spritzes
blowing through hollister to the delicious aroma of cinnabon hanging in the food court a mall's
scentscape is unforgettable and i still remember it to retain the wonderful scent in the air
certain cinnabon establishments will reheat baking sheets coated with cinnamon and brown sugar
however some malls have aroma limitations that limit where cinnabon may open at shops but come on
who doesn't love the smell of cinnabon what about that fry package what about french fries
perfluorinated compounds might be used to treat grease repellent paper used to wrap your burger
or the sleeve that holds your french fries according to research published in a scientific
journal these fluorine-based compounds are linked to cancer reproductive troubles a
compromised immune system and low birth weights jesus christ the researchers examined 400 fast
food containers and wrappers and discovered that fluorine was present in 56 of dessert
and bread wrappers 38 of sandwich and hamburger wrappers and 20 of french fry sleeves great as if
we needed another type of chemical to worry about when trying to enjoy our favorite fast food items
dairy queen doesn't actually sell ice cream that used to be a dairy queen man i used to love me a
blizzard your dairy queen blizzard cone or parfait isn't truly ice cream it all boils down to a
technicality in the dairy industry dq's soft serve ice cream has just five percent milk fat according
to the fda a product must contain at least 10 percent milk fat to be termed ice cream dairy
queen isn't trying to hide anything though clean technically our soft serve does not warrant to be
termed ice cream the company notes on its website in the facts section we really don't care though
ice cream or not dairy queen is still near and dear to many americans hearts and will continue to
bring out the inner joy of anyone who bites into their favorite chocolate coated dilly bar almost
all fast food chains have a secret menu forget about the menu tonight you can have whatever you
want chipotle has amazing nachos five guys offers a patty melt dairy queen has a coffee blizzard
if you're in the know most fast food joints offer unauthorized hidden menus from which you may order
some of the best food items can be found on the secret menus that's not fair have you heard of the
jamba juice skittles smoothie what about in-n-out burgers famous animal style fries just be ready
to explain exactly what you want to the workers since they may not know what a mcbrunch burger is
chick-fil-a has the longest wait times john how long i gotta wait according to research published
in a prominent magazine it takes 333 seconds on average to receive your chick-fil-a order
to be fair this is partly due to the popularity of the company which has consistently congested
drive-through lines they do also have the highest level of order accuracy
i'm a professional during peak hours chick-fil-a personnel may be seen standing outside with
tablets taking orders and payments to expedite the process many think it's worth the wait though
chick-fil-a has some of the most high quality fast food items available according to opinion
kfc is most likely to mess up your order it tastes just like kfc according to research published
by a trade newspaper covering the limited service restaurant business the chances of a fast food
restaurant getting your drive-through order right is 84.4 on average however which fast food
business is most likely to mess up your order it's kfc which had an order accuracy rate of only 66.1
percent pretty awful it's hard to imagine just how many orders the chain is messed up to receive an
average score of a solid d chick-fil-a receives an a for accuracy completing orders correctly
94 of the time which is no surprise as the chain always seems to be a step above some other
fast food chains self-serve kiosks make people spend more full service or self-service harris
full service tony restaurants anticipate you will spend roughly 20 more if you place an
order at a self-serve kiosk instead of at the drive-thru or at the counter why is that why mr
anderson why customers don't feel pressured or judged when selecting their meal choices
and the kiosks are intended to upsell as well but will the kiosk ask do you want fries with that
employees can see the drive-through i saw everything a now famous online video involves
a customer pulling up to the drive-through and a starbucks staff member singing to them and
recording their reaction yes it's cute but in a slightly creepy candid camera sort of manner
going right to the comments area it appears that many individuals are discovering that they are
being monitored when ordering many customers are unaware they're on camera when they're at the
drive-through and fast food employees have some hilarious stories to prove it colonel sanders
hated what kfc became no kind of saying is you're wrong colonel harland sanders invented the chicken
recipe that propelled the kfc franchise to success sanders sold his investment in the firm in 1964
but promised to remain a goodwill ambassador with over 600 franchised eateries the colonel on the
other hand was harsh one's telling a newspaper reporter that kfc's sauce tasted like wallpaper
paste damn that was cold and that the new crispy version was nothing in the world but a blasted
fried dough ball slapped on some chicken he wasn't known to be the nicest person in the world
