If you think you’re being a health advocate by buying a sweet tea at McDonald’s, it might be time to sit you down and ask you politely to return to elementary school and you know… Redo the whole thing just for good measure.
Apparently, McDonald’s sweet tea (which even has a green font in its name, just to imply what a healthy customer you are), has over one pound of sugar for every gallon of tea. Yup, you read that right. Literally 38 grams of sugar. How’s that diet thing going for your buck?
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.
Jimmy John's Gourmet Veggie Club
One of the things that often comes with the territory of being vegan or vegetarian is an obsession with healthy living and organic foods. Even vegans who occasionally eat at fast-food restaurants will look at the nutrients behind every meal just to make sure it doesn't have any ungodly ingredients in it.
One restaurant that offers what seems to be a healthy vegan meal is Jimmy John’s, but once you look under the hood of this sandwich you might be horrified. Apparently, their 16-inch on 9-grain wheat contains a whopping 2,000 or more calories, which is almost a full day's worth of energy for an average person. The meal also contains a large amount of sodium, fat, and sugar. You're literally better off eating four Big Macs than this unhealthy abomination.
Wendy's Fries
Rumor has it that employees of the popular fast-food chain Wendy’s have a saying about the French fries they love selling that goes: “They aren’t old until they’re sold.”
It would be hard to tell the approximate age of a bag of French fries, since they age quite well and don't lose too much flavor and smell, even after days of freezing. Either way, think twice about that before eating them.
Jimmy Johns Tea
We have no idea why anyone would order tea at a fast-food restaurant. It's kind of like going to Whole Foods to buy yourself a bottle of Coca-Cola. Anyway, if you're one of the five people in the United States that likes to get a cup of coffee at the fast food chain, there's an important thing we need to tell you that would likely affect your decision to do so.
We've learned that you should probably avoid buying tea from Jimmy John’s if it's after morning hours and especially if it's past the afternoon. The reason is that they allegedly brew the tea early at the opening hour, and then use the same tea for the entire day. Yikes.
