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.
Sonic Iced Coffee and Ice Cream
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.
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.
Friendly's Tuna Salad
Would you eat a tuna salad that was made almost one week ago? We certainly wouldn't. Well, according to a nice gentleman who used to work at the Friendly food chain, it seems that their policy is to only re-stock the tuna salad once a week.
On what specific day these are made every week? We don't know. So next time you go to Friendly, make sure to ask the staff ahead of time, maybe you'll get lucky and get to enjoy a freshly made batch — or you might just have saved yourself the experience of eating an almost week-old tuna salad. Yikes!
Jack-in-the-box Smoothies or Milkshakes
We've already explained twice in detail just how unsanitary and bacteria-infested smoothies and milkshake machines tend to be. This turns out to be twice as bad when you're talking about a company like Jack-in-the-box since a former employee wrote on Reddit that they often don't clean their machines at all.
This means that there's a high chance you're actually getting some bits and pieces from someone else's half spoiled smoothie ingredients along with your own drink. Hopefully, the ingredients will mix along well, or else the shake might lose some of its tasty features.
