While some people say that the internet basically
brings out the worst in people, there are some parts of the old’ cyberspace that are
actually beneficial to society. Here’s an example of that: Reddit's /r/AskReddit
section had a question to the tens of thousands of Redditors that work in food service what
items people should definitely NOT order. We figured we’d do our part too, so we went
through the countless responses to pick the top 10 items you definitely shouldn't order
the next time you hit up the drive-thru. Chili at Wendy's One of the things that separates Wendy's from
its fast foot competition is its chili, so if you're one of the many who stops by Wendy's
drive-thru late at night to get some delicious Cowboy food, you might want to skip ahead
just a bit. Multiple workers from Wendy's let people know
that the chili is made from the same meat the restaurant uses for its burgers. The problem there is that they typically use
the hamburger that’s too old for those square sammiches to make the chili, which means you're
eating old, dried up and sometimes expired meat when you order it. Beyond that, they also use the excess hamburger
that's left on the grill in the chili, which is just disgusting. Want the trifecta? Apparently, if the chili that they've made
doesn't sell fast enough and ends up getting too cold to sell (despite being in the warmer),
employees add hot water to the expired meat smorgasbord to just really up the grossness
of this former favorite fast food item. Steak and Beans at Taco Bell While the chili entry was confirmed by multiple
Wendy's employees, some of these are based on the individual claims of single employees. That's just a disclaimer before you completely
write off a favorite item from a restaurant’s menu. Redditor Beefcake21 said of the steak and
beans at Taco Bell: "The beans start out looking like cat food, and the directions are, 'Add
water and stir until you can't see white anymore.' Beefcake21 also said that the steak was just
the worst on dish duty. If it would sit too long it would become like
hair gel." Just the nastiest. Disclaimer or not, we're definitely going
to think twice next time we get the urge to eat "Mexican" food. Dunkin' Donuts' Sandwiches Dunkin' Donuts is really popular, especially
on the East Coast of the United States, and a treasured part of every 80s cop movie. Beyond just coffee and donuts, Dunkin' Donuts
has attempted to expand its offerings to breakfast sandwiches and regular sandwiches as well. While that makes sense as all fast food places
are attempting to expand what they offer in both items in general and healthy items in
particular, one employee named "mjforever33" warns against purchasing the relatively new
sandwiches. Mjforever33 says: "The donuts are fine. But don't order the sandwiches, “Both the
tuna and chicken is scooped out of a little container. I don't even know what's in it. The eggs come 'pre-cooked' and look disgusting. Donuts = Good. Sandwiches = You're nuts, stoned, or hammered." Say what you will about his assessment of
the level of quality of the ingredients in the sandwiches, he's not wrong about the customers’
level of sobriety. Chipotle's Quesorito One thing that every customer at any restaurant
fears is somehow pissing off the server or kitchen staff that make and carry your food. Because there's always a chance that that
person will spit or otherwise mess with your order. While Reddit user and Chipotle employee "ThedudeisCJ"
didn't necessarily say that people at Chipotle are spitting in food, he does lay out all
the ingredients for doing just that. He warns against people ordering the Quesorito,
an item that takes a lot of time and care to make, especially during busy hours at the
restaurant. While it's fine to order when it's slow, if
you order it during a rush, ThedudeisCJ says employees will hate you. The people behind you in line will hate you. Everyone will hate you." That'll increase the chances that something
bad might end up in your food, especially considering Chipotle’s less than sanitary
reputation. Anything Fried... Or At All from Olive Garden Now, sure, adding Olive Garden to a list of
fast food restaurants is a bit of a stretch, as it's more of a chain sit down place, but
this entry is so gross that it had to be included. Olive Garden prides itself on offering relatively
luxurious food, at least from the standpoint of chain restaurants, which implies a quality
that apparently just doesn't exist. Just ask Reddit user 'UppersArentNecessary'. He works at Olive Garden and said this of
deep-fried food; "I don't know how often the frying oil is changed, but judging by the
color.... I know it smells rancid." Beyond that, though, he expanded his critique
to the food in general, saying; "I don't know which dishes this comes with, but the potato
and pepper mixture, which is fried, will often have pieces of pepper in it that have started
to rot. Not growing-mold rotten, but definitely soft-discolored
rotten." So maybe make your own spaghetti at home next
time. Guys, it’s so easy. McNuggets that Aren't Made Fresh Who
doesn't love McDonald's' McNuggets? You know, besides Gordon Ramsay. Sure, they're made from the "pink slime" chicken
that went viral a few years ago and end up on a production line that looks like a factory
that's making car parts, and they've also recently been linked to cancer thanks to all
the preservatives used to ensure that they stay "fresh" as long as possible, but... They're just so delicious! Well, add one more reason to not order what
apparently is going to end up killing us all, as Reddit user and McDonald's employee "Ritch88"
said that you should always specify fresh. "If you order,” he said, “especially chicken
nuggets, just ask for them fresh. Otherwise, they've been just sitting in their
container in the heat. They have a timer, but 9/10 times when that
timer goes off, people just reset it instead of making new ones. This could go on until all the nuggets are
sold." McDonald's McCafe Machine McDonald's used to get a TON of business from
people who were simply ordering coffee, and once their breakfast coffee market share started
slipping thanks to the addition of drive-thrus at places like Starbucks or Caribou (not to
mention all the hipster coffee joints that have popped up), and the at-home coffee machine
revolution headed by companies like Keurig, McDonald's decided to up the quality of their
java by launching the McCafe side of their business. McCafe was the "high-end" version of regular
McDonald's coffee, which makes the info provided by McDonald's employee and Redditor "Envirometh"
all the more ironic. Basically, just don't order the "fancy" coffee,
as; "All McCafe beverages run through a horrifically dirty machine; we're talking 5+ inches of
uncleaned, liquid bulls--t making up its inside parts, and the smoothies have glass cleaner
in them." McYuck. Milk Shakes at Jack in the Box (Especially
If You've Got a Fruit Allergy) Fruit allergies are no joke, as something
as small as a grape can literally kill some people. Because of that, having a severe food allergy
can be a nightmare for people as they never can be really sure that what they're about
to eat won't kill them. While a lot of people like to make fun of
those allergies, especially peanut allergies (as there's been a lot of bad PR in that regard,
like parents getting admonished for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for their
kids' lunch), there's a pretty logical rationale behind that fear and those notes as the entry
from Reddit user "RingoTheCraftySquid" points out. Ringo works or worked for Jack in the Box
and mentioned how the same machine makes both smoothies and milkshakes, which means that
your milkshakes could have remnants of fruit in it. Ringo says that it's also not a very clean
machine, per company policy: "We do not clean the mixer very well, and it's used for smoothies
and milkshakes. Like, we're TOLD to just half-ass it. In the training video." Ballpark Hotdogs Attention sports fans, the questions/theories/fear
you've always had about those $12 hot dogs were right! Despite the fact that the markup on hotdogs
should allow those in charge of concession stands to buy new dogs every single day, apparently,
they're too greedy or lazy to do so and end up saving already cooked hotdogs for days
and days and days. Stadium worker and Redditor "FreakyCheeseMan"
says the following of his experience at the ballpark; "[The hot dogs] made it out of the
package okay, and might even have been edible after we finished grilling them, and then
they went into the water. Any hot dogs left at the end of the day went
back into the fridge and came out again the next day. Me and the other cook put our feet down on
throwing out the water and old hot dogs after two full days, but the management didn't want
to let us." Hotdog... More like Lukewarm-Pre-and-Re-Cooked-Food-Poisoning-Waiting-to-Happen-Dog. Seafood Sandwiches at Subway Subway is having a lot of problems right now. Not only did their spokesperson of a decade
end up being a pedophilic monster, but they're also losing customers left and right now that
they've moved away from their five-dollar footlong program (which wasn't great for profits,
anyways). Subway is the largest fast food company in
the United States, with almost 2,000 more locations than the second place company, McDonald's
and they're closing restaurants left and right. That might be a good thing, at least for sea-life,
as when they're not substituting seafood with imitation meat and mixing in way too much
mayonnaise, they're also potentially using seafood that contains dolphin and/or sea turtle
meat. According to one Subway employee; "Worked
at Subway 2010-12. The only thing I have to say is that tuna
and seafood packages used to have a label on it that said that it didn't contain dolphin
or turtles in the meat, then in 2012, that label suddenly disappeared.” That could just mean they're only using imitation
meat now and thus they don't need the label but think about that. That’s still pretty bad. When the options are either they're lying
to you or killing dolphins and feeding them to you, you know a company has problems. Hope we didn't gross you out too much? Don’t forget to hit that subscribe button
