We all love fast food! The pace of modern life doesn’t leave us much time for cooking and fast food is just a call away!
Although we can’t say no to the delicious fast food, there are some things you should know about fast food restaurants.
Here are the 8 secrets about fast food restaurants no one will tell you:
1. Order French fries without salt
French fries get salted right after the batch is cooked. If you order without salt, the staff will make a fresh, new batch just for you.
2. Coke is cheaper than tea since it stimulates your appetite
Sodas are always cheaper than tea in fast food stores. The reason for this is simple; fast food places want people to buy more sodas, since it’s impossible to reduce your thirst so you’ll end up buying more and more and more. Soda also increases appetite.
3. The smell coming from the kitchen is a marketing trick
It’s hard to resist the tempting smell coming from the kitchen when passing by fast food store. Almost every fast food restaurant makes sure that the smell of cooking reaches people outside. Can you just smell it and not order? Well, we don’t think so.
4. French fries are made from 19 ingredients
Fast food restaurants mix 19 ingredients to make the French fries we all love to eat. Potatoes are the basic ones, then additives, fats, flavor enhancers etc.
5. It’s not good to order fast food early in the morning
Being an early bird is great except when it comes to fast food. Don’t visit a fast food restaurant early in the morning because workers clean everything with harsh chemicals and some can be transferred on your food and drinks.
6. One milkshake contains 3 times more sugar than the recommended daily intake
Who doesn’t love a milkshake, especially in the summer? Unfortunately, it’s packed with sugar, almost 3 times more sugar than you need to consume on a daily basis.
7. Food is more delicious when you eat with your hands
Wonder why there are no forks and knives in fast food restaurants? It’s because food is more delicious when is eaten with hands, which means more pleasure- more food.
8. Soda fountains are really dirty
Soda fountains are difficult to wash and they’re the perfect breeding ground for bacteria.
