11 Gross Items Found In McDonald’s Food That Will Make You Sick

We already ate and loved our helping of Mcy D’s today, so we decided to post this after lunch. This has been a bad week for McDonald’s restaurants in Japan. That’s because after costumers found pieces of vinyl in Chicken McNuggets from two different locations, news reports started piling on of previous McHorror Stories. Vinyl McNuggets? Whatever; everyone knows you only eat Hipster Japanese McNuggets on vinyl.

1. Vinyl Chicken McNuggets

McCustomers in Tokyo and Aomori got more than some nitrates when they ate an order of McNuggets; they got pieces of blue and white vinyl. Record scratch! Both of the contaminated nuggs came from the same factory in Thailand. At least they are referring to it as “chicken.”

2. A Human Tooth

As if adding “human” to the word “tooth” makes it more horrifying, reports in Japan this week stated that a HUMAN tooth had been found in an order of French fries in August 2014. The restaurant reported that none of the staff at the location had lost any teeth. Maybe Ronald McDonald is trying meth and losing his teeth?

3. A Piece Of Plastic

If you thought McDonald’s food tasted like plastic well than you aren’t going to want to try the ice cream sundae’s in Japan. That’s because a chunk of plastic fell off the machine and into the soft serve which got served to a 5 year old kid, injuring his mouth. Well that’s one way to get kids to eat healthier; early childhood trauma at a McDonalds.

4. A Metal Clasp

Nothing is better than an Egg McMuffin, some coffee and orange juice for a good old McyD’s breakfast. That’s why the most horrifying thing about this story is that someone at a Kyoto McDonald’s ordered the pancakes. That and that they found a metal clasp cooked right into it. A little syrup and it might go down good with the sausage!

5. Uncooked Meat

I like my burger cooked medium- rare sometimes when I go to a fancy pants steak house and order the burger like the slob I am. That’s because I know they put cow’s meat in that there burger. However, when ordering off the pink slime menu it’s best to have that alien substance cooked well done. This customer’s undercooked meat got thousands of retweets You know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in Japan? Raw pink slime with cheese.

6. Dentistry Fillings Metal

In Kagoshima last month a McDonalds served a batch of fries with dentistry fillings metal. Maybe this is the new Happy Meal toy that will help customers who ate a metal clasp or a piece of plastic at one of their locations.

7. A Beetle

No it wasn’t Ringo; an actual beetle was found cooked inside a hamburger in a Chiba, Japan location. Crunchy! As you can imagine not everyone is thrilled with the added ingredients to these fast food favorites. Employees of the beloved burger joint have even taken to calling McDonald’s Japan CEO Sarah Casanova as “angel of death” due to all of the bad publicity. Well, no one has died yet, so don’t oversell this guys! Japanese McDonald’s executives even held a press conference to apologize for all of the incidents.

“Shame and dishonor” is normally what you feel after you eatMcDonald’s so welcome to the club!

8. A Cockroach Found Stuck On Bottom Of McDonald’s Hash Brown

This would go nicely next to the metal clasp in the pancakes in Japan; a cockroach was found stuck to the bottom of a hash brown. I guess going into some McDonald’s is more Fear Factor than Diners, Drive-In’s and Dives.

9. A Nose Ring

A nose ring was found cooked inside an McDonald’s breakfast burrito in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m starting to think that McEmployees are tired when they get to work in the morning as a lot of these gross items are found in breakfast food.

10. A Rat

This past October we told you about a man in Fredericton, Canada who ordered a cup of coffee from his local McDonald’s only to get a not so happy treat at the bottom of his cup. He drank the entire cup of joe and when he opened the lid he discovered a dead rat in the bottom. Well at least he didn’t spill any on his crotch.

11. Chicken Head

Back in the year 2000, a woman in Virginia bought chicken wings from McDonalds. If you recall they tried serving chicken wings for a while and this might be the reason they stopped. She found a fully formed, battered and fried chicken head in the box.

What is the grossest thing you have ever discovered in your food?

12 THINGS RETAIL WORKERS HATE ABOUT CHRISTMAS

Category: Chistmas time, Just Funny, retail lists Tags: Christmas 2014, just funny, retail lists Leave a Comment

The horrible holiday season is upon us.

How do I know?

I got my first email from work letting me know that “It’s that time of year again!” and inviting me to the mandatory Christmas meeting to kick off the holiday season. They call this “spreading Christmas cheer”. I call it a “colossal waste of time”.

Call me a Grinch all you want because now that I work in retail, the holidays are a painful, groan-inducing nightmare that lasts from Halloween to New Years.

These 12 reasons all of us in retail hate christmas will make you reconsider taking that seasonal position at Walmart.

1. Christmas Decorations

Yes, setting up Christmas decorations at home with your family is fun butsetting up giant Christmas decorations sent to you from head office the day after Halloween and in the precise place and angle that the holiday floor plan shows is not fun at all.

2. Greeting Customers

Greeting customers during the holiday season usually means having to inform them of the different promotions and new holiday gift sets. It also means having to say, “Happy holidays!” and “Merry Christmas!” a million times over with a perma-smile plastered on your face even though you couldn’t hate the holidays more.

3. The Christmas Music Playlist

What better way to get consumers in the shopping mood than forcing them to listen to the same classic Christmas songs over and over again! When the store playlist is filled with variations of the same Christmas songs by different artists, I’m filled with despair. It feels like some cruel punishment to have to listen to Macy Gray sing “Santa Baby” seductively for twelve straight hours a shift.

4. Holiday Hours

Another brilliant tactic to get retail workers to off themselves– I mean, to get more of our customers’ money is to open much earlier and close much later. This means having to work long and busy shifts and having to cab to work because there aren’t any buses that early or that late. Lifehacker has some tips for surviving those long holiday shifts that you can see here or you can just do what I do and go through your shift in a blur and pass out in a Redbull coma once you get home.

5. Crowds

I remember having to tiptoe and tilt my chin all the way up last year because the store was so packed. You can barely breathe in the store because of the crowd and yet customers don’t seem to understand that they’ll have to wait a few more minutes to get the help they need.

6. Parking

With the crowds of customers that plague the holidays, parking is very, very limited. That means having to leave for work an extra half an hour earlier than usual to find a spot.

7. The Food Court

On the days where you idiotically forget to pack your lunch, you’re stuck in the long lines at the food court. Sometimes you don’t have enough time on your half-hour lunch to eat the food you just bought or even to make it to the front of the line!

8. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN, ‘YOU’RE SOLD OUT?!’”

All the hot items are in an even higher demand and in short supply during Christmas time so if customers don’t get these items early, they might not get them at all. Of course, only you are held personally responsible for being sold out of whatever item by the customer that’s screaming insults five inches from your face.

9. The Christmas Discount

During the holidays, customers constantly think that by bringing an item of their choosing to me and asking,“Is this on sale?”, the price of it will magically drop like I’m some sort of magical price-reducing elf or something. The customers that have that extra bit of courage even ask if they can use my discount to do their Christmas shopping.

10. Gift Wrapping

Almost every customer wants to save their precious effort and get their present gift wrapped at the cash register, even with the twenty customers behind them in line glaring at the backs of their heads. This means more angry customers and tons of paper cuts.

11. “What will you have on Boxing Day?”

Some customers wait impatiently for me to help them only to ask what items will be going on sale on Boxing Day. If it’s not in a flyer, then either it’s privileged information that I can’t give you or I don’t even know becauseit’s a bloody month and a half from when you’re asking the question!

12. The Mess

I like to call this the Holiday Hurricane where – since we give them the extra time to do it – customers absolutely trash the store. Normally, customers aren’t able to put clothes back on hangers or even in the correct spot but the holidays have them straight-up throwing products on the ground in their shopping frenzy.

Take it Easy!

Regardless of how busy and painful the holidays are for us retail workers, nothing is better than coming home to spend time with my family and friends. Remember to take a break, kick back, and enjoy those precious holiday moments whether it’s baking gingerbread cookies with your mom or ice skating with your friends. Then, and only then, does it feel like you can survive it all.
