had the chefs take extra special care of it what would Ronald McDonald do ask yourself that
question and avoid 10 things you should never do at McDonald's never order a shake sickening agents
and emulsifiers simulate the texture of ice cream tastes just like the real thing it may seem like
religion to skip this delicious beverage on the McDonald's menu but avoiding this Frozen
treat might actually be a very good idea why well if you're a milkshake connoisseur you'll
surely be disappointed to learn that this popular drink is essentially lacking a key component ice
cream that's right perhaps the Hamburglar is to blame for this absent ingredient but ice cream is
straight up missing from this cold and creamy guilty pleasure you may be asking yourself if
there's no ice cream what in the world is in this shake that would be a very fair question to ask
turns out the base of a shake at McDonald's is actually low-fat soft serve that cannot legally
be referred to as ice cream in the USA they take their faux ice cream liquid and combine it with
the appropriate flavoring depending on what Shake you've ordered what kind of a milkshake lacks ice
cream perhaps that's why this menu item is called a McDonald's shake and not a milkshake rumor has
it they make it this way to maintain a universally creamy consistency but we can never know the real
reason why what we do know is that McDonald's shakes are not what they appear to be never play
in the playroom my playroom like your Xbox and stuff McDonald's is an amazing place for kids
of all ages there are toys in the Happy Meals and a clown is the mascot making it a family-friendly
place to dine in they can also spend time playing in a glass enclosed room decked out with plastic
playground equipment while they're frazzled adult counterparts catch up with friends or scroll on
their phones seems like a great way to spend the afternoon when you're all out of the creative
juices necessary to entertain the little ones right wrong this Haven of play may actually end
up giving you more than you bargained for which may be why McDonald's play places continue to
disappear while the Happy Meals are sure to put smiles on your kids faces the nastiness lurking
within the playroom walls May wreak havoc on their little immune systems leading to some not so happy
times later on lab tests have shown that fast food play places like those found at McDonald's
regularly contain fecal matter saliva and a wide variety of bacteria and virus services that cause
health problems like gastrointestinal illnesses staph infections among many others when you put
a bunch of small kids in an enclosed area there are bound to be some germs exchanged but in places
like McDonald's the play surfaces aren't going to be cleaned as thoroughly or as regularly as they
would be at an elementary school or a day care center if the playroom is an absolute must for
your tiny Tykes at least make sure they thoroughly wash their hands when they're finished playing
and maybe don't skip bath time that evening don't order the fries if you're a vegan or vegetarian I
reckon I'll help me some of the bacons all right then one large french fries non-meat eaters can
usually count on fast food french fries for a tasty meat and dairy-free snack option but that
meatless guarantee may not extend to the deep fried potato offerings at your local McDonald's
restaurant those salty and delicious shoe string french fries have been found in some countries to
contain Trace Amounts of pork and beef fat while McDonald's claims its signature fries are cooked
in vegetarian oils their kitchens aren't really set up to guarantee there's no cross-contamination
between ingredients it is quite possible for the oils and fats from bacon and burgers to find their
way into the French fry deep fryer and it turns out they often do while this seems low risk for
many it is particularly concerning for those who want or need to avoid animal products for moral
dietary and or religious reasons in some countries McD's fries also contain beef flavoring so if you
are adamant about avoiding animal products in your diet McDonald's french fries may not be your best
bet if you require a guaranteed plant-based meal but can't avoid the golden arches it's best to
ask your server for the best available option in your area don't use the touch screens the average
person touches their face two or three thousand times a day since the events of the past few years
that rocked the planet many of us have become more attuned to the risk of germs in public spaces than
we ever were before with masks and pockets and hand sanitizers and purses and bags many spent
part of 2020 wiping down groceries being unable to sit inside our favorite fast food establishments
and homeschooling our children while working from home as things have opened back up and life has
returned mostly to normal we find ourselves frequenting our local McDonald's restaurants
again and many of these spaces have been upgraded to include a stand-alone touch screen ordering
option while this newfangled technology is pretty impressive allowing the most introverted
customers to avoid excruciating Small Talk At the traditional fast food counter they may not be the
best way to order your next Big Mac meal that handy illuminated touchscreen kiosk is touched
by many fingers throughout the day long before you get to place your order and not all of those hands
were freshly cleaned before selections were made in fact some recent testing is revealed that these
touch screen menus have contained fecal and gut bacteria most often found inside of unsanitized
hospitals yuck not the kind of thing you want all over your hands before enjoying a handheld
meal and finger-licking Fries a word to the wise exercise those extraversion muscles talk to a real
person and order at the counter if you absolutely must use a touch screen make sure to clean your
hands before and after never order a salad what in the L is in this salad listen if you found
yourself at a McDonald's restaurant you've more than likely ended up there for a reason perhaps
that reason is sheer convenience maybe there was nothing else open or no other restaurants nearby
chances are you have landed at a McDonald's because you are hungry and you need something
to eat that is both fast and delicious if you're trying to stick to a healthy eating regimen that's
all well and good but you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you order a salad at McDonald's
first of all they aren't very good the ingredients are lackluster the vegetables aren't Super Fresh
and the offerings are limited they also aren't as good for you as you might think if you take the
time to count the calories in the salad dressings and the crispy chicken strips you might as well
have ordered that Big Mac you really wanted in the first place there's a time and a place for
everything and salads are often a fantastic choice when looking to enjoy a meal on the lighter side
of life but a meal at McDonald's is not the place or the time to eat a bowl of lettuce instead go
with a classic McDonald's meal of burgers or McNuggets something they're known and loved for
and save that salad bowl for another time you'll be very glad you did don't take forever to order
what took you so long bye got into some deep water McDonald's is a fast food restaurant and
that's one of the things people love most about it it's fast it's also easy to be prepared ahead
of time and know exactly what you want to avoid hemming and hawing at the counter while an angry
line of hungry customers forms behind you this is especially important during peak times around the
lunch hour and the dinner rush knowing what you want and being ready to order before you get to
the counter will make your experience and the experience of people around you so much better
McDonald's even has an app that can be used to place orders in advance and receive reward codes
leading to a seamless and quick ordering process that works for everyone you can apply coupons
rack up points and save money on your favorite McDonald's meals all while keeping the lines
shorter and the staff and patrons happier not sure what you want to order don't worry that happens
to the best of us just stay out of the line until you know what you want and help keep your favorite
fast food place as fast as it can be never order eggs that aren't the Egg McMuffin
I can eat 50 eggs the egg on the McDonald's Egg McMuffin is a 100 real fresh Cracked Egg
later topped in English muffin with cheese and a breakfast meat of your choosing it's a fantastic
way to curb that morning hunger and start the day off right when you order this classic breakfast
sandwich you can rest easy knowing there's nothing artificial about that delicious Little Egg Patty
while the authenticity of the egg in the egg McMuffin is indisputable this isn't true for
any other egg product at McDonald's restaurants eggs that are considered too small for the Egg
McMuffin are cracked and combined with other ingredients including preservatives to create
egg-like products used for breakfast wraps omelettes scrambled eggs and any other egg
adjacent Delicacies the marketing department at McDonald's cleverly claims that all of their egg
containing breakfast products start with real eggs which isn't a total fabrication but it
also isn't the whole truth there are real eggs in there there just also happens to be a bunch
of other stuff too so if you're in the mood for 100 eggs in the morning skip the majority
of McDonald's egg products and just go for the classic Egg McMuffin don't expect Perfection what
a way to start my new life there's no question the items seen on the McDonald's menu board and
in advertisements are aesthetically pleasing to gaze upon the Buns appear fluffy yet perfectly
symmetrical the cheese looks like it's been melted to the ideal consistency the lettuce leaves and
tomato slices contain tiny droplets of Clean Water giving the appearance of freshness and crunch it's
difficult not to salivate when looking at those mouth-watering photographs on the McDonald's menu
after all the McNuggets look hot and crispy the fries appear salty and tantalizing the ice cream
sundaes seem like the perfect combination of creamy and refreshing while those images are
easy on the eyes if you expect your fast food order to look like the picture on the screen
you're going to be very disappointed in fact the foods you're seeing when you order your meal at
McDonald's or watch a McDonald's commercial on TV are actually inedible they're mostly fake burgers
fries and Nuggets perfectly crafted to a here Flawless and delicious not only that the photos
are further edited the mcmarketing department has spent some serious time and energy on these images
enhancing good qualities and hiding the bat to create an unrealistic image far different from
the food inside your McDonald's takeout bag if you are ordering McDonald's and you're expecting
a Big Mac that looks like sheer perfection best to adjust your expectations downward your food
will taste delicious but it will most likely look like it was thrown together by a teenager because
it probably was don't order saltless fries you know what that is french fry once upon a time
a clever McDonald's Patron discovered that if you order saltless french fries you'll receive
a fresh batch since McDonald's fries are cooked in bulk heavily salted and left to sit in a metallic
basket waiting to be served a customer cannot always guarantee they'll receive the freshest
ones if you ask for unsalted fries the kitchen staff will be forced to drop a fresh basket of
fries into the fryer to accommodate your request thus ensuring your order of fries will be hot
fresh and crispy while this may seem like a genius life hack it's also a massive pain in the butt for
McDonald's employees who are working hard to churn out as many orders as possible in the most timely
manner asking for a fresh basket of fries to be dropped in your honor while a vat of salted fries
sits there waiting to be eaten is a waste of time and resources and will certainly not make you the
most popular Patron at your local McDonald's location so take one for the team and play
fresh fry roulette just like everyone else never order the mclobster someone reached in grabbed
it it was a mick Lobster McDonald's does so many things right they have perfected the burger with
their classic Big Mac they've mastered the chicken nugget with the McNugget they have created happy
kids everywhere with their Happy Meals even their coffee is a preferred delicacy among caffeinated
beverage drinkers McDonald's has created and continues to create so many yummy meals that
are fast and reliably delicious no matter where you find yourself in the world yet even the best
fast food establishment can mess up from time to time and one of McDonald's major messes was
the mclobster a poor excuse for a lobster roll this rubbery Bland not so fresh caught Lobster
served on a soggy bun is a major menu do not Lobster after all is a seafood delicacy and it
requires a certain commitment effort freshness and culinary Savvy to prepare it just right McDonald's
is not the place to enjoy any kind of surf with your Turf so if you happen to see this Oceanic
inspired menu item making a comeback make sure to order something else literally anything else
