From organs in fried chicken to uncooked pizza, we count 12 fast food fails.
12.
Most people know that chicken must be cooked well-done before it’s safe to eat.
The people who must know that are the cooks in restaurants.
Unfortunately, the cooks at PFK – Quebec, Canada’s version of Kentucky Fried Chicken
– must’ve decided to skip class the day they taught how to properly cook chicken.
The chicken in this customer’s sandwich is raw.
It’s like they took the patty out of the package and slapped it on a bun.
Too bad the customer discovered the raw chicken after taking a bite.
11.
A fast food staple is the burger, whether it’s with or without cheese.
Everyone has their preference, but it’s unclear what this particular customer wanted.
He got a burger from McDonald’s with cheese.
Nothing unusual, until you see where the cheese was placed.
While the burger came intact, the cheese slice wound up separate.
It’s almost like the employees quickly realized the customer wanted a cheeseburger and just
threw a slice in with it.
10.
When Wendy’s founder and CEO Dave Thomas died in 2002, it was a sad time for the franchise.
Some Wendy’s restaurants even gave him a final farewell by spelling out something like,
“We will miss you” on their outdoor signs.
This particular restaurant put a nice little farewell on their sign that read, “In memory
of Dave, we will miss you.”
A nice sentiment becomes a little awkward when, just below it, it goes on to say, “Now
Hiring”.
Obviously, a founder and CEO wasn’t flipping burgers as the sign implied.
Regardless, it’s understandable.
Restaurants can’t have a death get in the way of serving bags of greasy food.
9.
The difference between chicken and beef are painfully obvious.
One is lean, the other not-so-much.
So what’s up with the wording on this box from White Castle?
The patty is made with all white meat chicken and 100% beef.
Is that it?
If that’s the case, it’s doubtful you can taste the hybrid meat patty with the other
toppings included.
But seriously…
either it’s one or the other.
8.
Kentucky Fried Chicken makes another appearance on this list, but this fail took place at
a restaurant in England.
When a college student ordered a box meal, he found something disturbing and downright
disgusting.
No, it wasn’t a rat… it was what appeared to be a brain.
Luckily, he saw the organ before he took a bite and wrote a complaint on KFC’s website.
It was determined by experts that it wasn’t a brain but a chicken kidney, not that it
makes it any less disgusting.
Though the student was given multiple apologies and coupons for free food, he vowed to never
eat at a KFC again.
7.
McDonald’s is one of the most popular fast food restaurants in the world, but that doesn’t
mean they’re not prone to fails.
Hell, this is already their second appearance on this list!
Anyway, a McDonald’s restaurant at an undisclosed location apparently sells 10-pound bags of
ice for a dollar.
Nothing wrong there, as it’s actually a good deal…
until you take a peek at the sign advertising it.
The design of the sign makes it seem like they’re selling 10-pound bags of mice for
a dollar.
Are they trying to sell food to not only humans but their pet cats, too?
6.
Two of the risk factors for diabetes is consuming too much sugar and being overweight.
With these facts, it would seem logical that fast food restaurants would be partly responsible
for it.
Maybe this Wendy’s thought they were and tried to launch some sort of campaign to stop
it.
Yet the sign says to go ahead and buy five milkshakes for a dollar!
If they tried to imply their milkshakes are so healthy that you can binge on them without
gaining weight, then they failed miserably.
5.
It’s a common fact that smoking pot makes you super hungry.
Another common fact is that stoners will visit fast food restaurants to satisfy their intense
cravings.
This Taco Bell understands all that, plus they’re completely for legalizing pot.
Not sure how many customers are against the legalization of pot, though fast food places
might get a big boost in sales.
If there are many loyal customers against legalizing pot, then this Taco Bell might
lose them.
Though the photo itself might be Photoshopped, it’s easy to believe the photo is real simply
because of all the fails associated with fast food.
4.
Pizza is a favorite food among many.
It’s easy to order one, have it delivered, and dive right in.
The slices are also evenly cut…
usually.
We don’t know where this pizza even came from, but we do know that one of the slices
is the odd man – err, slice – out.
Even if the customer asked that something like this be created for whatever reason,
it’s hard to know how such a pizza was made.
Of course, it could also be some sort of optical illusion we’re just not able to get past.
3.
Pizza Hut offers its customers a hot dog crust, which has small slices of hot dog baked in
the crust.
One hungry customer decided to order one and, when he received it, it looked like something
from Papa Murphy’s or Papa John’s.
Saying the pizza was “undercooked” is being generous.
It almost looks like a dessert pizza, with the middle looking like it has chocolate syrup,
marshmallows, and other sweet ingredients mixed in.
That is, until you take a peek at the crust itself.
At least you expect an uncooked pizza from Papa Murphy’s or Papa John’s.
Maybe the Papa Murphy and Papa John’s in that area, assuming there are, give their
customers cooked pizzas.
Who knows?
2.
Subway is popular for submarine sandwich lovers, especially those who enjoy their foot-long
subs.
Ten customers in 2013 who went to Subway for a foot-long sub, however, claimed there was
a problem with the beloved sandwich.
That problem had to do with the sandwich being an inch off a foot.
That’s right…
those customers claimed that Subway was slapping meat and cheese on an 11-inch bun when it
should’ve been 12 inches long.
In other words, they felt Subway was giving them less food than what they were paying
for.
Subway ended up settling the lawsuit and began measuring the length of their sandwich buns
to make sure they weren’t cheating customers.
1.
A lot of people don’t get salads from fast food places.
They prefer burgers and fries instead of lettuce and croutons.
But one woman in northern Arizona, when she ordered a salad from Burger King, discovered
something in her salad that was much worse than a moldy crouton.
It was a razor blade that somehow fell into the salad while it was being prepared.
How an employee accidentally dropped a razor blade in a meal while preparing it is a mystery.
Luckily, the woman found the razor blade in time and the employee was fired.
That particular Burger King still has no idea what that employee was doing with a razor
blade in the food prep area, especially since they are prohibited in said area.
Alright guys, new question of the day: “What's the most desperate thing you've done to save
money?”
