One McDonald’s worker is dishing the dirt on the fast food chain and going viral for her revelations. "And they charge anywhere for a combo $8 to $9. Did anyone think it was homemade?"

In a TikTok clip that has gathered more than 236,000 likes, user Blexican (@blexican_shay83) demonstrated to her audience that the fast food restaurant's meals are not especially fresh.

“You’re the famous girl who went viral over that McDonald’s TikTok,” a voiceover says at the start of the sixteen-second clip.

In it, the TikToker shares what McDonald’s menu items look like before they are assembled and sold to customers. She points out that most of the food is pre-made and simply reheated.

“Y’all pancakes are made already,” she says as she pulls out a stack of pancakes wrapped in clear packaging. “They don’t do nothing but warm them up.”

She also demonstrates to her audience ready-to-eat eggs and packages of "egg-sausage-vegetable mix for burritos."

This isn't the first instance a fast-food chain has been criticized for its food preparation methods. Panera faced backlash for its cooking practices when a woman lost her job after sharing a video detailing how the restaurant prepares its mac and cheese. Numerous customers of the store were shocked to learn that, similar to McDonald's, Panera also allegedly uses pre-packaged mac and cheese stored in a plastic bag and warmed in the microwave.

Comments Weigh in

In the comments of Blexican's video, only a handful of viewers were taken aback by the news that McDonald's food is pre-made and reheated.

“How old is shit gets heated up and they charge anywhere for a combo $8 to 9,” one user asked. “Everybody needs to stop going to the restaurants.”

“Why tf they take so long in the line [if] the food [is] already made?” another user wondered.

“Did anyone think it was homemade?” one person wrote. “We know everything I have is frozen just needs to microwave.”
