    About dirty teriyaki: McDonald's don't actually wipe/wash their hands after handling the raw patties. They all wear gloves. Two different gloves are provided for raw food and prep. The dirty teriyaki was simply a forgotten step in the game alone.

    • @SIGJNF
      @SIGJNF 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Here at McDonald's Netherlands we don't wear gloves and we don't wash our hands basically ever after handling anything except when we touch the ground, something that has been on the ground or our body. We only wash our hands when we feel they're dirty from the oil or sauces from assembling/dressing and when we return from a break/toilet. And yes, that is also a thing during the pandemic. Maybe that's why our numbers aren't falling..

    15:40 The teriyaki patties don't require hand-washing because they are already cooked, but refrigerated. I worked in a fast food chain that sold chicken sandwiches, including teriyaki, and all the 4 variants of chicken patties were already cooked upon shipment, you just need to reheat them on the grill. This is because, ironically enough, chicken is very dangerous to handle raw, moreso than any other type of meat, so they cook them before shipment, unlike the beef patties, which aren't AS dangerous to handle raw.

      Also my theory on the teriyaki is that it was pre cooked so you had no risk of contamination from one food to another, the reason I think this is due to the fact that we didn’t need to wear gloves when handling sausage while I worked there, du to the fact that it was pre cooked

    Regarding Laval, Quebec. I’ve heard that a lot of McDonalds “tests” are done in Quebec. Weird store layouts for example. I don’t think this is unknown so the person commenting could just be lying based on that knowledge, but it gives it some credibility.

    I'm assuming the "alien landscape" image is probably a piece of art from another game the developer was working on. Sometimes devs use assets from other projects early on in the creation of a game so they can test the engine. I wonder if that asset was actually used somewhere. If so, it may give a good clue to the original maker of this.

      It definitely is, I've played the game many, many times. It might be an in development version and not the final artwork if it's not an exact match. The right half is the lighting layer that creates the glow effect during gameplay.
      The upper part is straight up ice cubes in soda in a weird colour palette.
      Why the docking area is on the cartridge is weird, but probably just leftover data if they reused something.

    The alien landscape file looks like it might be a multichannel reference for other content. Saving auxiliary data in RGB channels is super common for post processing, especially in cases when you want to save space. It's quite likely the "spaceship interior" is actually scaled and rotated snippets that would've been stitched for the machine layouts in the cut store builder. The blocky space looks like ice cubes in soda to me. Call me crazy, but it might be a negative image also. Devs take weird shortcuts and preprocess certain steps to save on code and memory in embedded software. Try color inverting it and see if it looks any more sensible.

    Something I remember seeing exactly one and never again at a McDonalds in Metairie, Louisiana is a fully functional Wii set up similarly to those Gamecube/PS2 stations that were pretty common back in the day.
    Now, It's possible I'm misremembering it (It could have just been Cooking Mama or something) but I distinctly remember there being a Mcdonalds-branded cooking game with motion-controlled burger flipping and boxing that was set up there. Idk if there are any further leads on that, or if my mind is just playing tricks on me, but I swear the memory is so clear to me.

I am from the philly area (surrounding suburbs) so a completely different part of the US... do you remember a black wii remote with a McDonalds M on it in grey, about where the Wii logo should be on the controller? This sticks out in my mind, and I did used to frequent McDonalds a lot during the time all of the events with the DS and the eCDP transpired.

    Okay I really need you to read this; I live in Ontario Canada (born and raised), and I swear to god I've seen/heard of a Canadian McDonald's DS game. Maybe this is some weird Mandela effect, or maybe this video really did unlock a hidden memory in the back of my mind. Either way I had a massive wave of deja vu when you mentioned Laval Quebec. I just have this memory of CBC (the Canadian Broadcasting Channel) reporting on a DS McDonald's game for training staff, and how it was "used in Japan as well" (or something along those lines), and I remembered my dad being mildly perturbed by this, probably because of his fear of modern technology. I think I was intrigued though, at least enough to have this memory still (if it's not a false one). I was probably 9 or 10 at the time, making the date somewhere around 2008/2009.

  • @MemesToa
    @MemesToa 3 ปีที่แล้ว +129

    I didn't even know this game existed until last month when Nick's first video about it popped up in my recommended.
    Now the game is so widely known that there's Tool-Assisted Speedruns, SiIvaGunner rips, and even not one but TWO fanfictions for a game made to train McDonald's employees.
    This is probably the deepest rabbit hole I've ever had the...experience...of falling into.
