ready to order some food if you want to know what to avoid the next time you're
at a Wendy's then here are 10 Wendy's items you should never order under any circumstances
don't do it the chili although the rumor that a woman found a severed finger in her Wendy's
chili was enough to make some people skeptical even if that one was proven to be a hoax just a
big stupid hoax Wendy's chili still has its clear Defenders it's warm and Hearty food It Feels Like
Home Cooking so it's easy to see why it's popular but if you listen to Wendy's employees they'd
recommend that you probably never order it again there are multiple claims to suggest that chili
is actually made out of leftover hamburger meat chopped up after they've been dried beneath the
heat lamps all day and then left to sit in bags of grease in the freezer for an indeterminate amount
of time if the hamburger patty had cheese on it the employees are told to scrape the cheese off
of the Patty as best they can before chopping it up for the chili meaning that Wendy's chili is not
actually safe for anyone who is lactose intolerant or suffers from a dairy allergy while we have to
give them credit for finding creative ways to avoid wasting the kitchen durward Kirby Burger
bloody this does come at a cost since we doubt that day-old hamburger patties are what you'd
hope to find in your chili so the next time you're in the mood for something meaty from Wendy's maybe
opt for a classic burger instead you'd be getting the same beef only a day fresher that was trippy
the frosty what could be better than an ice cold Wendy's frosty on a hot summer's day and for those
who dip their french fries in it the combination of creamy sweetness with salty goodness is simply
to die for yummy but as tasty as this Frozen treat may be according to what we hear from
Wendy's employees the frosty may not necessarily be the most appetizing after hearing about this
one multiple Wendy's employees have taken to Reddit to reveal just how seldomly the frosty
machine at their location tends to be cleaned with one redditor going as far as to claim that
most employees simply don't care enough to clean the machines correctly at the end of the night any
Frosty that's been left sitting in that dirty machine all day then gets poured into buckets
to be stored in the fridge overnight and if you're wondering if these buckets at least get wrapped up
to avoid any debris falling in apparently there are some employees who won't even do that much
this leftover Frosty mix potentially full of dust and debris then gets poured back into the machine
the next day upon opening contaminating both the machine and your delicious Frozen Frosty
all at the same time if you're craving something sweet then you might be better off opting for the
Apple bites the next time you're at Wendy's french fries while french fries remain The
Undefeated champion of fast food side dishes we all know that restaurant chains have a tendency
to leave them sitting under a heat lamp for an undetermined amount of time which can leave your
fries feeling stale and a little underwhelming I mean is something bothering her for years a
popular online hack has suggested one Surefire way to make sure that you're getting fresh fries each
and every time you order is to ask for your fries to be made with no salt this will apparently Force
the employees in the kitchen to make a fresh batch of fries specifically for your order or
so the rumor goes according to one redditor whenever someone orders unsalted fries from
Wendy's employees are instructed to return the old fries to the fryer for 30 seconds to remove the
layer of salt and simply requesting that your fries be made fresh won't help you at Wendy's
either as in this case employees will again just dunk the old fries into the fryer to warm them
back up again it seems that there's simply no way to guarantee that your French fries will be fresh
when you're ordering from Wendy's and more likely than not what you're probably going to get is a
limp Bland piece of potato even when it comes to the standards of fast food you can most certainly
find restaurant chains that show a higher level of care into the quality of their sides baked potato
with french fries off the menu the next side you're probably eyeing at Wendy's might be the
baked potato offered in three Styles plain Chopped with sour cream and chives or sprinkled with bacon
bits and cheddar cheese Wendy's baked potatoes are a cleaner fresher option on a menu That's
primarily filled with items as meaty as their most famous burger the Baconator but at the same
time a baked potato is one of those items that is extremely easy to replicate at home all you need
to do is pop one in the microwave and within a few minutes you have a baked potato potato
so why don't you just microwave a baked potato at home because let's be honest the microwave is not
the ideal way to cook a baked potato microwaves leave the skin on the potato feeling strangely
chewy and that's not necessarily the texture you're looking to get from your baked potato
experience what you want is a light fluffy potato that you can easily sink your fork into and that's
precisely what you'd expect to get from a baked potato that's served at a restaurant and while
you may get lucky and find that perfect potato at Wendy's if you strike when the restaurant is
empty during the busier hours you're much more likely to receive a baked potato that's simply
been popped in the microwave precisely the same way that you would probably make it at home and
if that isn't bad enough baked potatoes at Wendy's are stored in a heated drawer and should never be
left there for longer than one hour yet according to one former Wendy's manager the potatoes would
often be left in their drawer for so long that they'd eventually come to be soft other accounts
suggest that the potatoes are often left low on the ground where employees will mop
around them throughout the day adding yet another reason to feel skeptical on these sides [Music]
anything with cheese sauce if you were hoping that a bit of cheese sauce might be able to liven
up those old fries that have been left under the heat lamp we have some bad news for you the chili
cheese fries May taste delicious smothered beneath a warm and gooey layer of buttery cheese sauce but
ask any of the employees at Wendy's and they'll tell you that you should probably try to avoid
the cheese sauces at all costs no no no no no no no no no no no no no no one redditor reported
that Wendy's managers sometimes instruct their employees to pour boiling water from the coffee
maker into the cheese sauce whenever it starts running low in order to make it last longer this
means that you may think you're ordering cheese fries but what you'll be getting instead are soggy
fries that taste Bagley like cheddar and even when the cheese sauce isn't watered down others
have described the texture as lumpy which is most likely the last thing you'd want a proper cheese
sauce to be whether it's their fries or their baked potatoes it seems that not even Wendy's
cheese sauce will be able to save these sides I like fries Salad Wendy's salads may seem like
one of the freshest items on their menu so much so that you'd expect to walk away feeling pretty
good about your choice and ordering one but if you ask them for a salad before lunchtime what
you're likely going to get is a day-old salad left over from the day before flipped upside
down so that layer of mushy Brown lettuce can first be removed remove them okay Wendy seems
to operate by the logic that if you can't see that your vegetables are beginning to go bad then that
means that it isn't happening this attitude is especially apparent when it comes to any of the
Chain's salads that use fresh seasonal berries as these tend to grow mold at a faster rate
than the vegetables around them whenever Wendy's employees would notice a berry that had begun to
grow mold rather than throw the whole salad out they would be instructed to wash it off a little
and try to pick out the salads that looked the best hopefully you'll get lucky and strike at a
time where the salads are fresh but considering how unlikely that is we might recommend skipping
Wendy's salads all together okay chicken nuggets uh here's that part with the Nuggets we hate to
break it to you but unfortunately it's true even Wendy's chicken nuggets have their Dark Secrets
they may be a nostalgic classic sure to brighten your day with their comforting chicken goodness
but that perfect golden warmth is more than likely the result of chicken nuggets that were kept under
a heat lamp before being thrown into a fryer for a couple seconds just to trick you into thinking
that they were made fresh in all likelihood your chicken nuggets were probably standing by for a
good long while and if that wasn't bad enough one redditor even suggested that you may be getting
something a little unexpected mixed in with your nuggets excuse me according to the poster when
his ex-wife worked at Wendy's the employees would dip the plastic bag containing the chicken nuggets
into the oil in the fryer to get it open rather than just ripping open the bag properly this would
lead to melted plastic falling into the fryer and while it's impossible to say just how common this
practice is it would definitely be concerning enough to deter many from ordering the chicken
nuggets again in the future no thank you the fish sandwich Wendy's offers their fish sandwiches
seasonally and although it's failed to make quite the same Splash as McDonald's filet-o fish their
recipe of North Pacific Cod manages to stand out as distinctive enough from their competitions
breaded Patty made with Pollock Wendy's fish sandwiches most certainly have its fans but
it's the fact that they aren't kept on the menu for extended periods that creates a problem
multiple former employees have suggested that Wendy's rarely receives new shipments of fish
and that old stock may be kept in the freezer for months or perhaps even more than a year with
all of that considered it seems to be no wonder that Wendy's fish sandwich hasn't quite caught on
exactly in the way they would have hoped that's a big fish it was a big fish fountain soda fountain
soda is the odd forgotten yet completely necessary addition to any complete fast food order that big
greasy Baconator wouldn't taste half as good without a nice iced soda to wash it down with
but when your soda is coming out of the machine filthy that most definitely becomes a problem in
a situation somewhat similar to what we discussed with the frosty machine many Wendy's employees
report that they simply don't clean the fountain machines properly the soda fountain nozzles may be
briefly dunked into a bucket of water but that's about it ew gross this means that there could be
months worth of Gunk and whatnot built up within the nozzles and your soda has to filter through
all of that every time you hit the button to fill your cup beyond that another redditor suggested
that the bucket and Scoops the employees use to fill up the ice machine are also rarely washed
despite being handled by multiple people who may or may not have cleaned their hands after handling
money or using the facilities it's difficult to know exactly how widespread this practice
is or precisely how it might affect your health can you imagine what that little shop would do
to me but at the end of the day you'd probably just be better off choosing a bottled beverage
grape soda yes please anything grilled a great amount of items on Wendy's menu are prepared on
the grill whether it's their chicken sandwiches or the burgers they made their name with and as
much as you might love a big juicy Baconator there may be one detail shared by Wendy's employees that
might officially turn you off of some of their most delicious selections for good Kahuna Bird
that's that Hawaiian burger joint in a Reddit AMA entitled I am an employee at Wendy's ask me
anything a Reddit user revealed that anyone being trained to work on the grill at your
local Wendy's is told that they are actually not allowed to wear gloves while operating the grill
this means that they will be handling the majority of the meat that they sell completely bare-handed
and while they are required to wash their hands before doing so precisely how strictly this rule
is enforced sort of depends on the location you're eating at hopefully you get lucky with an employee
who takes food safety seriously and properly washes their hands before they touch your food
but considering in proper hand washing techniques can lead to multiple health
problems including salmonella hepatitis A and the contraction of Airborne illnesses we would
definitely understand if you simply wouldn't want to take the risk gloves would most certainly add
an extra barrier against potential bacteria contaminating your food and so we hope that
Wendy's management changes their mind on this seemingly strange decision in the near
future and what do they call it they call it Royale which first time here then leave us a
