I worked at McDonald’s – the disturbing truth about the strawberry smoothies
IF you thought McDonald's employees were slicing up fresh strawberries for their smoothies every shift, you're in for a real surprise.
A McDonald's worker posted a video on TikTok exposing what goes into a strawberry banana smoothie – and it's not what you'd expect.
TikToker and fast food worker starts her video by saying: "[Here's] what you actually eat at McDonald's."
She proceeds to press a handful of buttons on a machine until she reaches the correct flavor option.
She places a plastic cup under the dispenser spout and records what comes pouring down.
Half the cup is filled with a thick, bright pink syrup while the other half is filled with a creamy, white liquid.
Then half of a cup of crunched ice trickles down on top.
After that, she presses the "blend" button so the machine can successfully combine all the ingredients.
Interestingly enough, there aren't any fresh-cut strawberries or bananas anywhere in sight.
Heydi's comment section is filled with some people who are amused by the truth and some people who don't seem shocked in any capacity.
