I Worked at McDonald’s – The Disturbing Truth About Strawberry Smoothies

IF you thought McDonald’s employees cut every layer of fresh strawberries for their smoothies, you’re in for a real surprise.

A McDonald’s employee posted a video on TikTok showing what goes into a strawberry and banana smoothie — and it’s not what you’d expect.

TikToker and fast-food worker Heydi Macias begins her video by saying, “[Here’s] what you actually eat at McDonald’s.”

She continues to press a handful of buttons on a machine until she reaches the right flavor option.

She puts a plastic cup under the dispenser spout and notes what flows down.

Half of the cup is filled with a thick, light pink syrup, while the other half is filled with a creamy, white liquid.

Then half a cup of crushed ice drizzles on top.

After that, she presses the “Mix” button to allow the machine to successfully combine all the ingredients.

Interestingly, there are no freshly cut strawberries or bananas to be seen anywhere.

Heydi’s comments section is filled with some people amused by the truth and some people who don’t seem shocked in any way.

One person wrote, “Hope you don’t think a FAST FOOD doesn’t cut fresh fruit for your smoothie.”

“Whaaat, you mean McDonald’s doesn’t cut fresh fruit for every smoothie?” someone else jokingly added.

Someone else said, “I’ll never drink that again.”

“No one thought you guys were cutting strawberries over there,” wrote another user.

Referring to a popular video game, one person said, “Oh, so it’s Papa’s Freezeria in real life.”

“Oh really? I thought it was plucked from the strawberry banana smoothie tree,” another TikToker wrote playfully.

“None of us thought it was a nutrition bar,” wrote another user.

Another TikToker added a suggestion saying, “Try tossing in the chocolate syrup you use for the mocha fraps, it’s so good!”
