He : "I used to work at McDonald's and I picked this tip up when I was a kid working there.

"If you want your sandwich or your fries, anything you want, made fresh, make sure to add something special to it – whether it's no pickles, no onions, light ketchup, no salt on the fries. They have to make it fresh.

"No one wants an old sandwich that has been sitting there for a while, so if you order something special, they have to make it fresh."

Sadly, another McDonald's employee exposed the truth behind their beloved fries.

The Mcdonald's worker showed what collects at the bottom of the fries tray throughout the day in a viral TikTok.

In the video, they scrape up the layers of grease and leftover fries at the bottom of the tray into a large metal tool which usually scoops up the fries and puts them in cartons.

The fast-food worker wrote over the video: "I'm trying to stay healthy, I'll just get the fries" after hearing it countless times at the restaurant.

“You sure about that?” she wrote afterward.

In the comments, she added: "Guys please, these aren’t the fries. It’s the oil and salt left at the end of the day,”

She also added the waste was not being scraped from underneath the fries directly, but that the tray captured residue that fell through the filter.

“It doesn’t affect how your fries taste. It’s just the residue under the filter after making like 1,000 fries.”

One user disagreed with her caption, saying: "Nobody thinks fries are healthy."

Another didn't seem to mind about the grease build-up at all, saying: "I have zero McProblems with this video."

One even thought: "That's the flavor tho."

A smart commenter informed viewers: "Y'all the point isn't that they're actually serving you this, it's that THIS is what is IN what they're serving you.

A former McDonalds worker had also heard that and said: "Yes I used to always think about the customers and be like are you sure."

Seems the video did not put everyone off as some branded the grease slick, "the forbidden secret sauce," as well as "forbidden mashed potato."

Another video shows the chip tray lifted up to reveal layers of grease which have got through the holes and are scraped away.

Where she clarified again: "Every workplace with fries has/ SHOULD HAVE these to catch the extra salt and oil, for the last time, this isn't what we serve."

One user warned her that: "Technically this is against your contract and you could get in serious trouble."

Another admitted they had worked at McDonald's for 3 years but never knew you could remove the tray in the first place.
