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...

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.

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

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

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

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” 😂😂😂😂😂

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

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.

"are we really lovin it?" that made me laugh so hard

You must’ve aced all your writing assignments as a kid, you can talk about one subject with so much detail, it’s impressive !!! Also love your content👍🏼

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

Somehow everyone suddenly worked at McDonald’s for a year or two 💀💀

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.

Thats why they make you sign paperwork that you can't talk about McDonald's if you work there now lol 😂😂

conclusion: don't believe everything on TikTok

Do ppl not realise we have ACID in our stomach. All food breaks down. That’s what it’s for 👩🏼‍🦯

When it comes to the non-decomposing part... I thought people would be concerned about the burgers being old and reheated or something. Which, if your curious, they’re not lol. The patties have a specific holding time and are supposed to be thrown out after the holding timer goes off.

LOOLLL the response to the 24 yr old burger by McDonald’s ceo HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

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.

Do people actually think the burger would sit there and rot in their stomachs-

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. 😮😮😮

It’s sad when majority of people think a cup that can fully sit into another cup holds the same volume.

who the f*** keeps a burger in their closet for 24 years

The guy who did the cups is the best troll of them all, he didnt show that the cups are empty and was passive aggresive when people ask him to show that cups are empty first

What a great video to see in my reccomendation as im currently In a McDonald’s drive through

"Does that right invirornment include are body?" 😅😂

5:16 “McDonald’s isn’t the only restaurant that’s faced controversy for their cup sizes” *Victoria Secret has entered the chat*

So the thing about the mop bucket - yes the tea is brewed in a bucket, but it's obviously never actually used for cleaning supplies and is specifically used ONLY for the tea. McDonald's has those mobile mop caddies, the ones on wheels. But yes the tea is brewed in buckets. ETA; We used buckets because our dispensers were tall and oblong and brewing directly into them would have 1 caused a lot to splatter during brewing and 2 could tip over too easily during the brewing. ETA 2: I stopped working at McDonald’s mid 2016, and they may have changed it since then. It sounds like a lot of places now have brewers designs specifically for the tea canisters which is awesome and I hope that’s become the norm because those buckets were annoying.

that grandma is INSANE for not wearing gloves jfc

This made me ironically in the mood for a bigmac

Why they fighting over food- like kids chill out 😭🤚 almost everyone knows all fast food restaurants use random things in the food 🍲

The ice cream machine not actually being broken? Now that's something I needed to see 🍵

My Dad had a family-style steakhouse. Very friendly for all ages. We had an ice cream station (three flavors & toppings, too!) That was always one of my main sidework tasks-emptying and then thoroughly cleaning the ice cream machine. Then the next AM, I mixed up the various flavors in (clean) 5-gal food buckets, and loaded them inside the machine for the day. Yes, we used the same type soft serve mix, but that’s nothing to lift as a 18-25 year old whose been working since 14. I never had a problem keeping up with the ice cream machine & toppings. So I agree with Dessy....it’s down to employee laziness at Mickey D’s. It’s too bad because we really like soft-serve. I’d definitely consider buying an older restaurant machine to put in our new home’s Outdoor Kitchen! And an ice flaker & Slushie machine for parties.

These companies and their lawyers love playing the word game.

These ppl are older than me and still don’t know that humans have stomach acid that decomposes the food we eat 😭💀

I- I'm eating McDonald's right now, hope it's not something disturbing.

It’s like when I hear what’s in them “me: Eh .. idc keeps eating my Nuggies”

My dad worked at McDonald’s when he was 16 and said that the ice cream machine was never broken because the machine had so many parts and they just didn’t want to put it back together.

So I worked at McDonald’s for 7 years. The sweet tea is made in a bucket that looks like a mop bucket but it’s only used for sweet tea. It’s not used to mop (at least at the 5 locations I worked for). It’s very different (look and build) than what they use to mop and clearly labeled as sweet tea bucket.

It's like people are discovering what the "fast" in fast-foods restaurants means...

I believe its the way the cups are made. The smaller cup is much wider at the bottom than the other 2 cups. The middle cup is slimmer at the bottom than the small cup but widens as the cup gets taller. The large cup is a bit slimmer at the bottom than the middle cup and stays slime going up so it slightly taller than the middle cup. These are made like this to give the illusion that they are different sizes. Hints of why they could sell all the sizes for only a dollar. There not losing any money. The guy that did the test did not use a paper cup for the large cup he used the big plastic cup that is obviously much larger than the paper cup Mikah used. Honestly I can only guess the guy that was pouring the 3 sizes at 13:06 in the video used a large plastic cup instead of the large paper cup that Mikah used because he tried it with the paper cup and he found out Mikah was correct so he went to the large plastic cup instead. The large cup this person is using is not the same type of cup Mikah used. Just noticing that.

"people who think there was already COKE in the cups" Mikah what are you doing in there?

So now we’re supposed to forget about how the science teacher once said: Your stomach acids are strong enough to break down metal! 😃

"tHe fOoD iS gOnNa rOt iN oUr sToMaChES" stomach acid : 👁️👁️ baby I don't even exist

So...they be really putting their foot in dat ice tea. 😂

No wonder the animation looked familiar. You’ve just earned a sub 🥪

Oh wow.....*continues to eat McDonald’s fries with a side of spicy sprite*

WHY’D HE POUR THE COKE OUT LIKE THAT, I COULDA DRANK IT

McDonald's employees want $15 an hour. But they can't even get a doordash order ready on time

i was eating mcdonald and this recommended me and i watch it with no shame

These people actually question the food as if they feel in danger of dyeing because the McDonald’s that they ate in 2019 is still in there gut as if there isn’t some called stomach acid?!? Bro someone get these people a book and a healthy diet🤦🏾‍♂️

"The food in our stomach is gonna rot??" First, say hi to stomach acid. Second, they say it would rotten in an environment with bacterias and mold, I'm not a biologist but I'm pretty sure that an ALIVE human stomachs bacterias are different from the bacterias of that piece of cheese in your fridge that just ask to be eaten before the expiration date. And if you have mold in you stomach, go see a doctor QUICKLY.

“Could decompose” I’m here for a good time not a long time

8:00 give you 40 bucks to eat the entire meal

• Ice cream Machine one true, usually it’s cleaning itself • Cup size “theory” is false • tea in a mop bucket? Uhhh.. maybe in some locations but not usually. • you already ate the food, shut up. It’s out of your system. If it’s such an *issue* stop eating it.

"what if your body doesn't qualify as the right environment?" Did you not study anything in school? Your stomach has literal ACID in it.

That does explain why the small drink is always too much for me 😂

POV: you're watching the whole thing while calmly eating McDonald's

I swear to god, people have never heard of salt preservation, or mumifications, and it SHOWS.

Its the fact that ppl are getting info from tiktok "Ah yes tiktok the most informative app in the world, google been real quite"

I got a Burger King ad at the beginning of this… very cold

One time I saw a sign out side a McDonald’s and it said: our burgers now made with 100% real meat! And I was like excuse me 😅

"What if our stomach isn't the right environment" Girl- if your stomach is that dry go see a doctor

The fact that people are freaking out because of this makes me cringe so bad.

SAME THING AT STARBUCKS!!! Absolutely true

"That was nice, now out it back at the small cup"

The burger in a closet for over 20 years... I feel like McDonalds was in the right about that, there were no pickles or wet condiments left on it....and that thing did look dried out and petrified. Also for the tea, there are food grade buckets ..

People really getting pressed over soda sizes like if this country doesn’t already have a health and obesity’s epidemic going on 😔 And I know that many people who go to fast food could still keep themselves in shape but fast food has a really big contributor.

Question for the narrator chic of @Spill , when u gone let me take you McDonald's for our first date lol , great video btw

I’m watching this while eating Mac Donald’s lol

Why am I laughing so hard at “are we really loving it?” 😭😭

We were in elementary school and the teacher was asking who people wanted to be when they grew up, and when she called on this kid, he said “I wanna become a McDonalds worker!” All the kids laughed at him, when the teacher asked why, he said he wanted to steal all the junk food for a better world- Everybody got mad but I was confused lol

Moral of the story: don’t care quick food tastes okay

The mop bucket thing was true in my location years back. It was made on the floor, with 2-4 bags of sugar depending on which manager was working at the time, the unsweet was made the same way but with more water, and no sugar.

Fun fact about McDonald's: Different McDonalds around the world have different requirements for food and etc. for example the Mcdonalds in Japan might taste fresher than the McDonalds in America because Japan might have higher requirements for the food and stuff like that while America feeds us anything. Edit: tysm for the likes, I was not expecting this to get so many likes Imao. but ty!

Bottom line is; if you’re eating out ANYWHERE - you’re at the mercy of that restaurants practices, as well as each individuals personal hygiene and sense of decency. Every business has some sketchy area - and so do people. So it makes no difference if it’s fast food or some expensive place. If there are people involved- anything can happen

I worked at MD. The tea came from a machine. If I remember right, we just added ice; Not a mop bucket.

*brain cells start decomposing*

I like how she's not biased, she doesn't show one side more than others. she just presents all the facts and lets you come to your own conclusion, which is rare these days. im subscribing :)

People saying they lost trust in the brand are probably going to end up eating McDonalds or jack in the box next week anyway 😂

YOOOO THIS JUST A BUNCH OF KARENS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Their paper bags decompose faster and easier then their burgers

It really doesn’t matter people are still going to eat McDonald’s and Jack in the Box..

Old Lady with the McDonalds: "It hasn't decomposed! how is that possible?" Every mummy ever made: "Am I a joke to you?"

The ice cream machine was always "broken" in my town. IT WASN'T! THEY WAS LAZY!!!

I like how the "doesn't decompose" video will be found and reacted to by the same people as the "Mold on my burger" video. LOL

So, to clarify about the ice cream stuff, it’s only for specific restaurants with lazy employees. My father worked at McDonald’s as a manager and was the only one who knew how to fix the machines. The fact is, nobody really pays attention when they’re teaching this stuff, hence why the ice cream machine is basically always broken.

I've seen McDonald's workers refilling the tea dispenser with a "mop bucket". It obviously isn't used with a dirty mop. It's just a big plastic bucket with a handle because it's heavy. They go through A LOT of tea so it makes sense.

The fastest awnser is:Don't believe on TikTok the most

Am I the only one that see the commenters that were saying that the fact the burgers might not decompose means that them eating the burger means it will remain in their body forever as idiots? First off, decomposition and digestion are two different processes, and Secondly there are many steps food goes through once it enters your body that its most likely not even going to be recognized as food by the time it reaches your stomach. The burger you would consume is going through a different process than on sitting in a humid, dry closet for 20 years. You will have to chew up that burger, your saliva will start breaking it down before you even swallow it and then once in your stomach, your stomach acids will break it down even further preparing it to be pushed through your small and large intestines where any nutrients will be extracted from it and the remaining waste will be expelled from your body. The only negative thing that burger is leaving you is calories.

The thing that makes me the maddest isn’t that stomach acid will dissolve the food but the fact that it *doesnt* sit in your stomach. If you eat something that is unable to be digested like chewing gum it will simply pass through your system so unless your pooping literal burgers I think it’s safe to eat.

some people are idiots- OUR STOMACH HAS A C I D S TO DECOMPOSE EVERY FOOD

People believe if you can chew and swallow it, it must be "food".
