If you’re wondering how is it that almost 30% of the citizens of the United States are considered by the department of health to be obese, check no further than your nearest fast-food chain like Burger King.
You might want to know that their whopper junior meal isn’t quite popular with anyone who’s past the age where you can stay at home alone, which means that there’s a strong chance that what you just ordered little Bobbie has been lying under the heating lights for a few hours now. We hope you keep that in mind next time you place your child’s order.
Culver's Veggie Burger
Going to a fast-food chain with a vegan friend is never an easy ordeal. Even if the conversation somehow doesn't revolve around the unethical treatment of animals, you still have to deal with them griping about not having anything to eat except the side salad.
Certain restaurants and fast food chains adopted a more vegan-friendly menu in the last few years, and the popular Culver chain is no different. However, one Reddit user who works at Culver's told us that it's a bad idea to order their veggie burger, as these are often kept stored in freezers until an order comes in. They then get cooked in a microwave and fried on the same grill which is used for all the other meaty foods. Maybe that's why your vegan friends keep asking to go there!
McDonald’s McRib
As we've mentioned a few entries ago, when you name a good item on your menu, it would be quite decent if you to make sure that whatever adjective or ingredient you use to describe the item is actually found or is a part of the meal you purchase. There is actually a legal count for not following this basic law called ‘fraudulent marketing’.
This is just the case with McDonald's McRib, which you'd expect to be made out of ribs, but is actually made from a combination of pig tripe, hearts, and stomach parts, all combined into a meal that's tasty in practice but absolutely disgusting in theory. We hope that at least the beef is made out of actual beef.
Panda Express Orange Chicken
If you've ever been a fan of Panda Express or know anyone who likes going there, chances are that your favorite dish there is the orange chicken. No, we're not psychic, it's a well-known fact that this is their most popular dish, so it only makes sense that you'd like it very much too.
Despite the meal's popularity, rush hour eventually ends and the branch is then left with a lot of unused orange chicken. We've heard from one Reddit user who works at the chain that the way they freeze the chicken is by putting some gravy on the leftovers and keeping it in the freezer until it's opening time again. If that indeed grosses you out then it might be best to only go there during peak demand times. Or just avoid the orange chicken at all other times.
Sonic Chicken Sandwich
Another claim regarding Sonic, the drive-in burger fast food chain, came from an alleged former employee who said that the chicken served in their classic chicken sandwich isn't actually made of real chicken. He did not go into details as to the actual source or content of the meat.
The user also expanded on the freshness of the meat, claiming that their chicken was often put outside for several hours before being put back in the fridge due to being less popular than the beef. Personally we would stay away from all things chicken related here.
