The thing about anything mass produced, is they will only ever show you the cleanest footage, the nicest of everything being used. But really there's a lot more going on that you never see.
I worked at McDonald’s in the sixties. The potatoes came in 50lb bags and stored in a basement. I had to haul them up them dump them into a rotary skinner then open a chute and dump them into a big sink of rinsing water, then would run each potato thru a big manual slicer into another rinsing sink. Then I would fill each basket with fries and let them drip off for a couple of minutes and then blanch them in hot oil(beef tallow) then put them on a rack until they were needed. Then I would brown then in a hotter oil pan until golden brown. Then into the fry tray for salting. Potatoes cooked in beef tallow are amazing.
@@davidjames5727 Actually no, cooking in animal fat is much safer than frying in vegetable oil (except to olive oil). Of course, frying is always bad but frying in animal fat or in olive oil is a much better option
this is funny, I don't eat at McD's but the first time I ever ate a McD's was in 1966 in Madison WI. I watched how they made the fries. They had a hand operated cutter that they put a potato in and push it through a cutter into a basket
There's quite a lot left out here. For one thing the cutters are not "grates". The potatoes are launched by water pressure down a tube at around 70mph, where they meet the cutting blades which are staggered first vertically, then horizontally, over a distance of around a foot. In this way the spuds are sliced rather similarly to the way you might do it at home. Research showed that if all the blades were in the same plane, the potatoes tended to "splat" against the grid rather than slicing. I learnt this when I went round the factory myself.
I worked at McDonalds, days were hell, nights were great. I remember a time where a woman found a fake nail in her wrap, did not take long to locate the employee whom was promptly sacked, no time for people without common sense.
People who have no clue as to why some things rot and some things do not. Fries, Burgers and a ton of other food will not rot if stored in the correct conditions. I mean a lot of food will dry out and no longer spoil hence why you will find that lost fry under you seat when you clean it out in a month or 2.
I remember many years ago they had some ice cream bar product where the ice cream never really melted. I figured it was made out of PVC plastic for something. (Just kidding about the "PVC", but not kidding about the "something".)
I haven't eaten anything from a McD's in well over 20 years. I tried to get a fish fillet sandwich with salad back then when living abroad, and they refused to substitute the soft drink for water, so I cancelled my order and have just never bothered going back to any of them. I never really cared for their homogenized approach to food anyway, so it was (and is) easy to avoid them with so many other choices.
There is an In-N-Out Burger in my town which most people like a lot. I sometimes go there and point out that they aren't as fast as the local McDonalds but McDonalds has one really big problem. The In-N-Out Burger person will ask, "What's problem?" I answer, "They serve McDonalds food."
@@mike5162 Just a general interest in large scale production methods and systems. I've eaten McD fries long ago and found them okay, so I was a bit curious. So, why do you ask?
Here in Australia we call Mcdonald's Maccas and our beef patties are 100% Australian beef. None of this imported beef crap. Also Mcafe was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1995.
Same with McDonald’s in Canada. Only Canadian beef. You can taste the difference. Funny how it’s an American company yet in America we get the worst quality food
I found out one day a long time ago why McDonald's Fanta Orange in the waxed drink containers with a plastic lid tastes different to that from an aluminum can. It's because they make it with water and ice cubes in it when it's prepared at McDonald's. This tastes a little different than that from an aluminum can. Anyway what I found out by accident is that if you refrigerate a drink container from an over the counter store in the fridge, the ice will eventually melt, and the resulting taste will be a lot closer to the Fanta Orange taste you would expect from the aluminum can. There's something about melting the ice and allowing the drink to settle that completely changes the mix to match what's in the aluminum can. I don't understand why, but that's what I found out by accident one day a long time ago. :D
Dude they just have the condensed mixture shot with water in your drink combined with co2 containers, you can even boost the co2 over its standard to get extra bubbly drinks, all soft drinks are a syrup concentrate mixed with water via a machine, not a pre mix in a can, there. you got your answer! of course its different. and yup! diluting a drink with water alternates the state of your mix! in your case ice! and i agree, diluted fountain drinks taste awesome.
That may be how they do it today, but not in the past. In the 60's I used to work at Micky's making fries. I peeled them, washed them cut them, and cooked them, BY HAND. Lots of fun. The things we do for money....
Fun fact. Ordering fries without salt forces them to cook you fresh fries. This is better anyway, because they use 'sodium silico-aluminate' instead of 'sodium chloride'. The chloride in table salt is essential for the body to generate stomach acid for proper digestion, which is primarily made of 'hydrochloric acid', derived from 'sodium chloride'. A lack of 'sodium chloride' in a balanced diet may cause severe stomach cramps and diarrhea.
"big Mack, fillet-o-fish, quarter pounder french fries, icy coke, milkshakes sundayyys and apple pies". Who's old enough to remember this simple menu song? I know..I'm old lol🤣🤣🤣☮️
I wonder how much McDonalds paid Tech Zone for this 10 minute commercial... By the way, at the .53 mark that's false advertising. McDonalds fries do not have ridges like that. I don't know what that clip was, but it wasn't McDonalds fries.
They also showed what looked like a pork chop while talking about the burgers. 3:41. I could be wrong. I’m not a butcher, but I’ve eaten a few pork chops.
The factory sells to many restaurant chains, I’m sure. Plus they might sell them to grocery stores The good size nuggets and fries go to the chain restaurants, the other sizes sent to grocery stores in big bags where it doesn’t matter much
So it's almost 2 am.. I couldn't sleep... and I was thinking about mcdonalds French fries and how they were made... so here I am..not able to sleep. Thinking of mcdonalds. 🤣
Just like Grandma used to make. I think we should be working on preserving our grandmothers. This video made me feel ill. But as it's said... What you don't know can't hurt you... Or can it ☠️☠️☠️☠️ as Diabetes and Cancer ravages the world.
And then they add so much preservatives that a big mac is preserved 30 years. Or was it 50 years? If ancient Egyptians only had a McDonalds they wouldn't need mummification.

I mean no offense, but if you think they’re truly delicious, then you haven’t had a “real” burger. Made from ONE cow, not over 100 mashed together into one patty. Grilled on a charcoal grill to a perfect medium inside. Topped with all the fixins that you bought from your local farmers market. Until you’ve had that, you haven’t had a good burger. Don’t get me wrong, I eat McDonald’s. But it’s what I get when I’m hungry and need something right now.
It's better to consider your health than worrying at age of 60 if you live so, money is nothing to pay off when you are young and active no medication can help, the doctor will prescribe strong medication when you go for a blood test, but I never had a headache or illness when I was young, never had medication for 30 yrs, not even one panadol, make my own food with coconut oil fraying, tamarisk power, beetroot, cinnamon, in my cooking but garlic, and onion fresh is eaten daily, doctors think there are great, it's time you all should wake up. thanks.

I like the part how they say the fish is shipped in square blocks and completely skips how it gets that way.
Large fish are cut in to those blocks
the same with beef. they get cut up beef but how it gets there.

Safer than the fries to eat
When I was in high school in the early 70's McD's made fries from whole potatoes at the restaurant like In 'n Out does it now.
still like that in other countries
Same here, the fries imo are not as good as they was back in the day.
No demand for it at McDs, people should go to In 'n Out if they want that. McDs sells plastic food.
@@larrypendleton8195 that because they don’t make the fires with beef oil

@8:37 - if you gently tap the bottle with your hand where the "57" is raised on the glass bottle (near the neck), the ketchup will flow smoothly.
If you find McDonalds french fries under your car seat 10 years later, they still look like new.

Let's be honest those fries have a shelf life of 12 years
Not with me 😀
they don't it has 1 year and they sell them in days after delivery
Because they have no moisture, and _extremely_ salt.
