One thing that most people don’t know about fast food chains and bars, is that the most disgusting and bacteria-filled object in the kitchen isn’t the floor, it’s either the ice cream machine or the iced coffee machine. These machines are almost never cleaned and gather up bacteria over a long period of time.
Next time you’re up for an ice cream or some sweet iced coffee, make sure to ask the staff if and when it was last cleaned. According to a Reddit user, most companies just don’t clean it, their employees don’t even know how to do it in the first place. This causes a lot of molds to start growing inside, which is never a good thing to digest in your body.
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.
Jersey Mike’s Chicken Parmesan
One Redditor posted quite a severe comment on the Reddit thread, starting that he stopped going to eat at Jersey Mike’s, the American sub sandwich chain, after learning that their chicken parmesan sandwich is actually just a frozen piece of breaded chicken patty with some cheese.
Obviously we assume that the end result is nothing like shown in the promotional picture, but unfortunately, you can say that about just any fast food restaurant that ever promoted any of its products. At-least it's not as bad as downsizing the serving size of an existing meal, as our next entry will shamelessly feature.
Subway Roast Beef
We've recently heard from a guy claiming to have worked at the fast-food sandwich chain, Subway, that their roast beef sandwiches are so full of preservatives, there's a good chance that if left alone, they will last a lot longer than the human population.
Perhaps one of the items we should leave for the aliens, many millions of years from now as they come to visit earth and see the humanoid relics from those that have lived here, is the Subway roast beef sandwich. Based on the former employee’s claim, these roasted sandwiches might just be the only thing left.
Subway Oven-Roasted Chicken Sandwich
Usually, when you add specific adjectives and verbs into the name of a meal, it would only stand to reason that the meal would contain or be made in the way that the name explicitly states. If, for example, we were to open a restaurant called “The Vegan Express”, customers would be wise to believe that the joint serves exclusively or almost entirely vegan meals.
Since Subway serves a sandwich named the “Oven-Roasted Chicken Sandwich”, we thought that meant the sandwich was actually roasted in the oven. Apparently, an employee of the chain recently claimed in the aforementioned Reddit post that the sandwich is not roasted in the oven, rather it's simply microwaved and put in a bun. If this is true then it would only be appropriate for Subway to change the meal’s name to “Microwave-Heated Chicken Sandwich”, although that might impact sales to a dramatic degree, so perhaps just ditch the “oven baked” part.
