The fact that people don’t know the difference between food naturally decomposing and digestion is honestly embarrassing. FOOD DOESN’T JUST SIT IN YOUR BODY LONG ENOUGH FOR IT TO ROT. THATS WHY WE HAVE STOMACH ACID.

"DO OUR STOMACHS QUALIFY TO DECOMPOSE MCDONALDS BURGERS"

sis your stomach is literally filled with acid and why tf would you want to rot food inside your stomach? Tf are you a composter?? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I worked at a McDonald's years ago. The tea was brewed with the coffee machine and poured into the containers that has the pour spouts. No mop buckets at all. The ice cream machine was never broken, it goes through a nightly heat cycle to kinda re pasteurize it and was taken apart regularly for cleaning and sanitizing. We weren't lazy and made sure there was mix in the machine.

I worked at Sonic and they hired a teen after me who I saw using their bare hands to cup ice cream in a cup when it had fallen on the counter. Never saw them wash their hands. I saw many unsanitary things that made me think twice about eating fast food.

I don’t understand why they don’t just pour it into a measuring cup...

[veggiestraws]

people are scared that their mcdonald’s won’t decompose in their body like they don’t have literal acid in their stomachs 👁👄👁

I've worked there and yes they do make tea in a bucket but not a bucket that's used for cleaning. It's completely fine and it was not used for anything else but tea. No the cups are not the same size.IDK The McDonalds I worked at was very clean and everything was made correctly and I never saw any wrong doing. We always made sure the ice cream machine was ready for orders. Although I haven't worked there for about 6 years so who knows how they operate now.

I am a current employee of McDonald's and, at my franchised restaurant, the tea, sweet tea, and iced coffee are made using a machine with McDonald's logo on it and is poured directly into the containers, dunno if this has to do with it not being owned by McDonald's itself, but rather a family that puts the restaurant under the McDonald's name, but the mop bucket tea is not true

[haleymoore]

I'm a current, soon to be ex employee of McD, and I can confirm we make our sweet tea in a mop bucket BUT WE DO NOT USE THAT SAME BUCKET FOR MOPPING THE FLOOR! We just needed a big container.

[soundwave.superior]

This... is the dumbest scandal I've ever seen. The reason McDonalds and Jack in the Box didn't respond is because anyone with critical thinking skills would know that it's not correct?? I'm begging people to develop some higher reasoning skills.

So. I worked at Wendy’s for 2 years back in high school. Back then, the cups were all closer in size than the ones shown here. Our manager showed us that yes, they do truly hold very near the same amount of liquid because of the amount of ice taking up cup space. I saw it with my own eyes.

The same goes for some of the French fry sizes. We were taught how to shake them in just right so that they just took up more space in each container.

I can’t speak for anything other than what I saw and was taught.

I worked at Wendy's as a teen in about 1987. The lettuce for the salad was kept in the freezer. It was chopped up and floating in a trashcan full of water. The trashcan was a normal regular trashcan, but I'm sure it was only used for the chopped lettuce. Well, I honestly can't say that it was only used for lettuce but I would hope so. During the pandemic, mcd's around my house had the lights out during their working hours. As I drove into the parking lot I saw pple inside. I drove up n asked if they were open. The girl said yes. When I asked if their lights had gone out she responded, no, we always turn the lights out so we don't have to wait on customers. 😮😮😮

I worked at McDonald’s for two years. The ice tea is made in a gallon bucket (like the plastic ones at Home Depot) . Yes you could use these buckets for mopping but they weren’t. We literally just brewed the tea in them, then the tea is poured into those containers you get the tea out of.

People saying: "nevermind, it's only one dollar" forget that McDonald's is not only in America, where fast food is incredibly cheap and free refills exist

[rachelgranados]

1. There is a difference between cup sizes
2. Sweet tea is made in a sweet tea container with a spout. After it’s done brewing we take the container to the front where you can clearly see us pouring the sweet tea into a cup.
3. Fries are 9/10 always fresh but they are not days old more like minutes.
4. At my location the ice cream machine works at times but we are short staffed and really busy and making shakes, cones, and sundaes even more stressful but we rarely do that. When it is broken not everyone in the store knows how to fix it. At my location we stop serving ice cream around 3 am because the machine stops dispensing it.
5. It’s fast food, process food. It’ll just get stale and most likely won’t mold being stored away in shoe box in your closet. Watch some videos on McDonald’s food experiments or something.

I love it “Are we really loving it” 😂😂😂😂😂

[thesystem]

Everyone arguing about the cup sizes and I'm just confused as to why she kept her McDonalds for twenty years

[carrie]

People are shocked that the McDonalds food doesn't rot but is full of salt which is a preservative. Also when I move the stove every 2 years to clean under it theres no rotted food just dried out food
