Macca’s employee reveals why Coke taste betters at restaurant

A person who claimed to be a former employee of the fast-food restaurant revealed that some of McDonald’s food is backed by science and other juicy secrets.

The person, who goes by @evilglitterqueen online and is named Ryan, said they learned “so much” while working at one of the world’s largest fast-food chains.

“You think that they’re just fast-food and s**t but they have so much science behind [everything],” they said in a video shared on TikTok.

“So for example, your straw at McDonald’s is larger.

“Do you know why it’s larger?

“Because it lets more carbonation hit your tongue and makes the soda taste better,” he revealed.

“That’s why it’s better at McDonald’s.”

Ryan also claimed McDonald’s pays Coke to create a syrup just for them.

“That’s why their Coke has a little bit more sugar and a lot more flavour,” the former employee noted.

Moving onto the actual food, Ryan claimed the restaurant’s “grilled chicken is injected with a saltwater mixture to keep it moist, but also flavourful”.

Additionally, Ryan claimed the Chicken McNuggets aren’t very processed, as many may expect.

Finally, the TikToker claimed McDonald’s’ ice cream machines – which are notorious for often being out of order – only get cleaned once a week.

Ryan’s followers were seemingly wide-eyed and shocked about his revelations, with several stating they now understand why McDonald’s Sprite is “spicy”.

“Makes sense why the Sprite just hits different now,” another added.

“Did you make me feel better about giving my kids nuggets? ….. Yes,” one mother wrote.

“The ice cream machine is always broken,” another viewer quipped.

McDonald’s has been contacted for comment.
