17 Fast Food Secrets

Behind the Scenes of Fast Food Restaurants… What they DON’T want you to know!

• Those grill marks on your burgers were put on when processed in the factory.

• Next time you get a drink out of a soda fountain, look up the ice chute. Quite often, you can find mould.
• A McDonald’s Corn Muffin has more Calories than a Glazed Doughnut.
• Those pictures and videos of food on these fast food commercials are airbrushed and touched up with fibreglass. It takes two hours to set up just one hamburger.
• Those scrambled eggs are made out of powder…Yum…

• You would need to walk for 9 miles to burn off the calories of a Double Whopper with cheese.
• All fast-food workers are supposed to wear gloves when they prepare food, but most of the time, nobody follows that rule.
• Fast food companies load up with high fructose corn syrup because it’s a cheap sweetener. It also will trick your body into wanting more of it.

• Burgers are cooked and are left until ordered on the stand for over 8 hours!
• If you get a lemon in your drink you better be careful. Often the employees will not wash their hands and they’ll just lay out the lemons, cut them up, and serve them.

• Cashiers are not supposed to tell you how many calories are in your dish, even if they know it. They are supposed to tell you that “All that information is available online.”
• Just one hamburger can contain meat from 100 different cows.
• Chilli is just made out of meat from old burgers.

• In restaurant kitchens, more people follow the 10-second rule than you’d like to think.
• At some places, like Taco Bell, the food carries over. So guess what we serve you in the morning.
• Milkshakes can easily contain over 50 different kinds of chemicals.
• In many places, just before closing, all the coffee is decaf, whether you’re ordering it with caffeine or not. This is because nobody wants to clean two different coffee pots.
