The internet has an odd fascination with fast food. From limited-time promotions to offbeat celebrity burger collabs it seems like the online world is constantly dialed into the absurd marketing shenanigans of these restaurants. The online world is also obsessed with another element of the fast foodiverse, that of course being the fast many food horror stories out there. If you have spent any measure of time on social media, you've seen legends of deep-fried rats, contaminated ingredients, and disgusting photos showing the unspeakable being served at fast food restaurants. In today's video, I'll be telling some of the internet's most infamous fast food contaminations, crimes, and controversies. These are the fast food disasters.

A single image of a man standing on lettuce changed internet culture for so many people. It’s insane
Number 15...
@@zaer-ezart number 15... can I get a number 15? From smiling friends
That might be what you get
Because of this stupid foot lettuce someone like chills actually got famous....crazy how this world plays out
I worked in a deli and there really is nothing grosser than black non slip restaurant shoes.
I love the operation soda steal story. The giggles from the guys doing it. It's actually adorable.
The dudes who were supposed to fix the ozone spent all their time stealing Baja blast
we need people to do this with gasoline, shit's too expensive!
@@GridnetGaming but the fountain soda machine doesn't have a cost/count meter lol
@@imrippingthefuckingheadoff Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. You'd still have to insert your card or pay cash up front first before you can start pumping gas. It'd only work if you were stealing from other cars gas tanks
Oh look its That Guy.
I know it's been 5 months, but the fact that so many people fell for established titles even when they were oust a few years prior is an example of "History deems to repeat itself"
To play devil's advocate here, at minimum some of that money _DOES_ go towards charities that protect the land, right?
Or is that part bologna also??
@@Liquid_Mike All bologna sadly. I believe one of the charities they said they would donate too didnt even exist, or wasnt exactly findable online. Theres a chance might be mixing stories up. But im positive about the "they didnt donate" part.
@@Liquid_Mike yeah, a whopping 0.1%
It is a con
TBH I thought this was a new video, and got pissed he was pushing the BS.
I love how Jollibee's official statement involves them "retraining" their employees, as if orientation specifically has a lesson on how NOT to flash fry a dirty dish rag.
He was a helpless victim of the system. If only their training was more detailed. RIP in piece sweet prince.
Maybe something about double-checking what they put in the fryer.
It will now lol
Yeah it's probably a new chapter or section or the training process now making sure things don't get battered and/or fried that shouldn't and to be careful about where you place cleaning equipment when not in your hands and if anything does fall into the fryer that doesn't belong to let a manager know or something like that so they "can empty the contaminated oil,clean and refill it" but you better bet not many places are going to stop saling French fries,chicken and other fried foods for hours to properly clean the machine if something falls in loll
Give me damn sure no one is taking their temperature before they delivered that food from jollibees 😂😂😂😂 ain’t no one going around temping everyone’s faces for each order 😂😂😂😂
The fact that this is sponsored by Established Titles 💀💀
This video is two weeks old. Wavy is now donating all money from this ad to St. Judes. Wavy had no way of knowing before a couple days ago. When this was posted, we all thought it was real. Don't bother with that cancel culture b.s. because we all love Wavy.
@@jojoversus1100 Where does it suggest that I'm trying to cancel Wavy or hate him?
I meant it as a joke. Stop getting offended on behalf of other people.
@@jojoversus1100 illiterate
@@jojoversus1100 You're very generous for assuming that OP has the power to 'cancel' someone. 'Cancel culture' is just general consensus and sometimes, when it seems like everyone else is wrong, you might actually be the one who's wrong.
Major yikes
i always assumed the foot lettuce guy was standing on lettuce that was about to be thrown out as a joke, i cant believed they really intended on letting that go into people's meals
The Wendy's in my town went out of business because of the Chilli finger thing.
3 years later they reopened with a fresh remodel and we are all happy to this day.
Huh neat
Which is funny, since they claim fresh, never frozen. Nothing they serve is fresh lol
@@ezekial7028 Dude if they actually served fresh food they wouldn't be open for more than 2 hours. Fresh food can be frozen, lil bro. There is nothing wrong with preserving food, using your logic, absolutely nothing would be "fresh"
I worked at McDonald’s in 1980-81 and I can remember several non food objects purposely ending up in the deep fryer. We were clever enough not to serve them.
I wanna say James Butler had a video about that too. The manager laughed, fried a toy himself, then told the staff to dump out the oil, clean it up, and never do it again because it was both unhealthy and un-smart.
@@LegendStormcrow yep, its a good idea to let kids get that stuff out of their systems. As a crew we were actually pretty proud of our work and productivity, we thought we were a well-oiled machine. Closing shift was when we cut loose lol. It was a great first job for a kid.
@@PeachysMom Once a month i had a closing shift with the same two goofballs, there was at least a good 15 minutes were we fried different shit before changning the oil and it's forever my favorite work memories.
@@WLS_Churchill good times!
god i just love the implied enunciation of 'non food object'
I love how the guy who posted the Burger King foot lettuce picture thought he wouldn’t get caught, but 4chan threw him and his buddies under the bus within 12 minutes and he was fired within 48 hours of the picture be posted…
Hilarious
Sadly the same image in 2022 wouldn't have the exif tags for anyone to deduce the restaurant's location
@@phanirithvij4chan will still find a way
He should have been arrested. Tampering with people's food is a federal crime I heard
@@SubjectDelta20allegedly none of the lettuce had been served to guests, and so it was probably lettuce being prepped(which is probably why the manager allegedly said “I’m going to check who closed last week[the closer would likely prep for the next day/week]”) but this would mean it’s not food tampering, it’s a workplace mishap of ill intent on the employee’s behalf. Grounds for firing, but not necessarily law. Although, these employees do deserve a punishment of some sort and a year of surveilled community service for this shit. They need to know what kind of risk they just caused, a reality check.
@@Wyonite I feel like "it doesn't count as food tampering as long as it is intercepted by a third party before it actually reaches the customer" is one hell of a loophole that surely doesn't exist. Judging by the results of the investigation, the employee hadn't immediately thrown out that lettuce (if he had thrown it out, that would have made it a workplace infraction at most) and instead it was still in the restaurant ready to be used on customers' food. It likely would have ended up on burgers if not for the speedy response to the image.
The way the Wendy's lady was telling her story you can tell it was BS. When people start including extraneous details like " I was eating like people do" they are trying to make their story more believable
Exactly my thought as soon as she said that lol
That can also be a sign of complex childhood PTSD and also a symptom of autism/ neurodivergence. Basically anyone who has had the experience of being chronically ignored or misunderstood when trying to communicate, will often overexplain situations. Clearly this lady is just a liar but thats not the only reason people include extraneous detail
@@user-yn4xc8kt3i true, nobody should be judged by a single action like that, but it was a super obvious sign to be wary of her telling the truth
I once found a giant stink bug in my salad at a chain restaurant, well half a stink bug since I think I accidentally ate the other half. The company didn’t really do anything more than replace the meal.
It’s just extra protein 💪
Additional 300 calories.
I had this exact same thing happen to me. It was from a popular bakery chain here in Australia, with the unpleasant little gobshite baked into my bun. Funnily enough I've accidentally crunched into stink bugs before in other meals, so not only did I just think F it and ate around it, but I was a lot less bothered by it than I should have been. For anyone curious a stink bug tastes like it smells, but stronger and is slightly spicy.
@@Simlatioeww...that just...made me throw up a little...
@@riinak7212Since that comment I made, I have learned that to many people who enjoy the taste of coriander leaves, they also happen to enjoy the smell of stink bugs because the aldehydes they produce are chemically very similar. This is why over 100 years ago people didn't say coriander tasted soap-like but instead bug-like.
Stink bugs to me smell like if coriander had a vinyl smell mixed in, and coriander smell like if you spat in your hands without brushing your teeth all day and rubbed your hands together until they were almost dry and then you took a whiff, but regardless I hate the smell AND taste of both.
The Burger King Foot lettuce story actually makes me trust Burger King more. They had these guys found and fired within 48 hours of getting the complaint before the lettuce even made it out. Plus they did a thorough inspection of all the food immediately after. Good to know they take these things seriously. Also, don't mess with 4chan.
That was the County health council not Burger King…
@@elllaf yeah i'm sure burger king sweeps a lot of disgusting stuff under the rug... most of them do in the food business all the time sadly.
Actually in my area Burger King is one of the better fast food places.
You don't become a billion dollar business by not caring. MFers start getting sick and everyone will take notice
@@edelleaa That always comes down to who the franchise owner is of that store not the brand. How good the employees are, how well the store performs, and how clean the store is all comes down to the owners responsibility. Brands do not step in unless something goes viral or the store needs supplies, equipment, repairs etc. However everything else is internally handled.
I used to be a security guard at the King of Prussia Mall in PA, I got a call to BK one night during Christmas season a teenage girl said her mayo on her burger tasted like "see-men" I called the police and let them handle it obviously, they took the burger into evidence and eventually to the lab; long story short it was actually just mayo. The best part of this story was her mother in tears and her father utterly speechless at the fact their daughter knew what "see-men" tastes like. True story.
I believe it. I'd heard rumors of similar shady shit at the Exton Mall. A couple years ago the entire food court was shut down, but I think it was just plain ol' cockroaches.
@@jaskaborner9795 Ah good Ole Exton mall. Not what it used to be lol
Yeh the McD's near mine got shut down about 15 years ago due to "hygiene concerns". Allegedly it was guys adding.....uh, their own sauce to the milkshakes.
@@Seraphim91 Omg I never want to eat out again 😫
@@amymay2575 Yeh, i never have McD's milkshakes these days. Not taking the risk!
I'm shocked that more of these crazy scammers are not being held legally responsible.
You talking about Established Titles and the TH-camr for promoting it?
Hell at this point scamming Americans is an industry of itself and the only way to get in trouble for it is scamming while poor.
Filipino here, adding context at 4:56, The BGC (or Bonifacio Global City) is basically the most modern business/leisure district of Manila where high standards are expected, there are lots of videos of foreign vloggers going there because of how clean it is. It is in stark contrast to the surrounding area which is just mostly slums
I never get tired of hearing the story of Operation Soda Steal, it's just such a fun and somewhat wholesome story about a engineer fucking around with his friends
cybershell
And it was in perfect spot of boarderline criminal but still not in a sense, while causing chance via messing up with corporate decisions to keep it restaurant only product. I recall this caused number of people to do the same, witch caused corporate implement new soda machines that read chip or bar code in the cup, but then people messed up with those codes or just simply built the thing into stores cup right there and then, or went barbaric just using the store cup to move the soda into table and funneling it into container and repeating this in peak hours so staff would not notice, hell there might even been backdoor deals with staff to sell it on black market at the time. Eventually corporate had to give up when costs of this security went beyond profits that come from soda... then again profits of soda are massive due it being so cheap, just co2, tap water and taste syrup witch most of it is sugar or neuropoison in case of aspartame.
@@Hellsong89 Isn't there no proof confirming aspartame is toxic in the amounts it is present in diet sodas?
It's not wholesome to steal.
@@SuperNiceteethit’s just soda bruh
Fun fact, the judge that sentenced the Wendy’s chili finger girl was the same judge that just sentenced Elizabeth Holmes, Edward Davila. Small world. The chili finger story is like something out of a comic book, it's almost too zany to believe. Gotta hand it to Ayala and her husband though, they really did put a lot of planning into their long con up to and including legally obtaining an actual human finger.
Honestly, I feel like there was some teen working at Jollibee who thought “I wonder if I could deep fry this towel” and then lost it after
I'm wondering that if they had thought to cook the finger first, if it would have ended a little differently or atleast taken longer to figure out? Probably not but it 3 am here so this is where my brain goes.😆
the most surprising thing about the Jollibee story to me was that they actually batter their chicken on the fly. in American fast food restaurants fried chicken comes frozen in a bag, already breaded
@@XxXMrSisterFisterXxX KFC hand breads their stuff. Source: Worked there.
wendy..chili finger girl wat? i like chili peppers n girls...starting with such a line i completely lost attention reading the rest of ur comment i need some time to meditate as master yi n concentrate now
@@stanimirborov3765 What are you blathering about?
You should do a video about the “McDonalds strip search phone call scam” it’s pretty dark and sad, but it’s interesting nonetheless. It shows how some people will blindly listen to authority. I think it originally happened in 1994 but continued happening for 10 years or so.
Ok now I gotta know wtf that is
Last week while on my OJT, as a newbie from the restaurant my first job was to inform my seniors that there was a worm on a basil leaf from a carbonara order from a customer. What a great start to my experience as a customer service employee
what restaurant was that?
And that, kids, is why you wash your produce.

I worked at a bowling alley when I was young. My supervisor once pulled me aside and showed me a huge bag of moldy cheese. He then proceeded to make a dozen pizza's for a kids birthday party. I reported him to upper management soon after and nothing was ever done. In fact, my supervisor started to target me and I ended up resigning as opposed to allowing him to mistreat me any further. I don't regret my decision, but I'm disappointed that nothing was done and nobody stood up for me. Had I been older and more informed, I would have pursued legal action seeing as how this was and still is illegal.
should've reported it to the county health inspector. They *dont* fuck around.
@@RyanRoadReaper I really wish I would have. That's good advice. If ever I'm in that situation again, I'll definitely do that. 💯
@@petergriffiinbirdistheword remember to get evidence. Evidence is key, otherwise it's just a case of "he said, she said" and often it's the person who's higher up in the hierarchy who's going to win.
this is why i totally avoid mom and pop restaurants or slow ones and stand-alones. even golden corral was caught hiding old meat during an inspection to serve later. i’ve seen some scary stuff in even nice restaurants through work. i’m about to vow to never eat anything but my own food and your story scares me
@@RyanRoadReaper they do boss, especially the inspectors most companies have personally hired. the state will literally leave horrible inspection reviews on a restaurant and leave it open and the only ppl that know they are eating at a failing restaurant are the ones reading the news paper which no one touches anymore so literally no one knows how nasty places are and they never get shut down
0:51 even wavy fell for the scam
I have soooo many stories from my fast food days. It’s a southern fast food chain that is just in Tennessee and Alabama. It was my first job at 16 and I was there almost 7 years with 5 of those being in management so I had to keep the juicy details to myself but I’m long gone from there now 😂 I’ll write out a few but if anyone else wants more I definitely have em. Okay first story:
1: so the first is the worst one. We got an urgent email one day and faxes telling us that it’s a crime to put bodily fluids on someone’s food. Apparently at one of the other stores a ratchet girl was super angry towards what must’ve been an awful customer and she decided to smear her own period 🩸on their burger 😷🤢🤮
2: we once opened a giant can of green beans fresh off the delivery truck only to open it and find a deceased but fully intact mouse right on top of the green beans 😅
3: we got a big shipment of biscuit mix that had some sort of mites all in it and we had used some of it before the recall on the mix.
4: we once had to fire a girl for someone telling on her because she stuck her hands all the way in the back of her pants with her gloves on while she was in the middle of food prep making slaw then proceeded to use the hand with the gloves still on to mix the slaw together 😅
5: one of the female managers was caught sleeping with the high school guys in the bathroom, in the office, in the walk in, and apparently behind the dumpster. And she was married. It was several guys that worked there on top of her husband and her bar hopping escapades. Her husband worked out of town but the woman already had like 5 or 6 kids so I have no idea how she had the time to do all that.
okay last one
6: one of our crew girls was caught giving two best friend guys oral at the same time in the backseat of a car on their breaks 😂 she was also caught screwing some other dude and the customers complained about seeing her and the car rocking 😂😂😂 I also went to hs with the girl but she was a few years younger but it was in a small town so things get around and she was kicked off the cheerleading squad for doing the same thing on the freaking school bus on the way to science camp 😂her mom and dad both worked at the school too so it was a huge deal.
If anyone reads all this.. kudos to you. And I apologize for my nonexistent commas and endless run on sentences😂 but if anyone wants more stories I have all kinds of stories from that place
@@ImSamButcher haha thank you! Working there for so long I definitely have plenty! Here’s a few more of the ones off the top of my head 😁
- We hired a girl and her cousin in the same week. She was working there for maybe two weeks when she and her cousin decided to do a “heist”. The girl was working the drive thru window taking cash and her cousin came through and their “brilliant” plan was for window girl to throw all of the big bills out of the window to her cousin in the DT. When we counted her drawer and it was nearly $800 short we had to watch cameras and saw what happened. They both went to jail. 😂
- I once had to write up the sweetest 18 y/o girl fresh out of HS because she took a $100 bill without checking if it was real.. it literally said “FOR MOTION PICTURES ONLY” on the top of the bill 🤦♀️
- One day it was storming really bad and there was a tornado siren that was tested on certain days right next door to us. I don’t know if this man didn’t realize that it wasn’t a test and there was an actual tornado coming but as we were trying to shut down the store to duck and cover a man walked right in and tried to scream his order to us over the tornado alarm. We were also closed for bad snowy weather a couple of times and I was so surprised at the amount of people that were literally walking miles through very thick snow and ice to come get our food.
-We had one of our assistant managers fall for a phone scam once. She really thought she was doing the right thing but we lost about $3,000 due to this scam. The scammer called the store and told her that our boss the general manager was involved with some sort of illegal activity and that the FBI was looking into it. She followed all of their directions and even had one of the cashiers go add money to gift cards or however they did it to send to the scammers since the assistant manager couldn’t leave the store. She actually didn’t even get fired
- I once had to rush the general manager to the hospital after she almost sliced her thumb off with a brand new produce slicing blade. We all thought she was like belly laughing with the way she was screaming but… nope. I just jumped into action and drove her to the hospital though after checking on her.
-There was an old man in our lobby eating with his family one day when his family realized he wasn’t moving. He was like a statue. We had to call an ambulance and he was carried out on a stretcher. We never heard what was actually going on with him but we did hear that he was okay
-One night when I was working with another manager a man came in and we thought nothing of it. About an hour later somehow that man’s family came in frantically asking to see our cameras to see if that man was their missing son/brother/cousin and told us that he had been a missing person for 3 years. They watched the footage and the police came eventually to check it too. They couldn’t tell for sure if it was him but it was definitely a crazy day.
-Last one for now was across the street from our store was an auto parts store. We watched this whole scenario go down too. But there was an old lady driving and from what we were told she apparently got the brake and the gas pedals mixed up and she drove right into the auto parts store through the wall 😅 everyone was okay including the old lady but the craziest part is that my dad was actually in the store when all of this happened. That’s how I knew what even happened with the lady. It’s a small town but I thought it was wild
@@ImSamButcher oh I just thought of a couple more.
-corporate had to ban all cell phone use or tried to for a bit because of an incident. There was a viral video going around of a group of kids in a store far away from ours smoking 🍃 in a walk in freezer 😂
-the general manager that I mentioned in the scam story was super freaky deaky 😣😂 she was apparently “swinging” with some managers at another store and we heard so many other freaky stories about her toys and her husbands apparent massive dong 😅 I never looked but I heard so many comments about people looking and seeing the outline of it in his gym shorts. They were not a good looking couple either lol
-there was also a husband and wife that had worked there for several years but they worked in separate stores. The husband cheated with a man at some point and the wife cheated with another woman at another point. The wife also slept with this super sketchy guy and got the clap from him then gave it to her husband.
-A manager that I absolutely loved and never had any problems with and he worked there for nearly 15 years was cheating on his beautiful wife with one of the crew members for several years. I liked the girl he cheated with but she was not nearly as good looking as his wife 😅 I’m not bashing anyone for having this problem but you could see that she had full stubble on her chin and that she shaved it everyday and her two front teeth were ALWAYS bright yellow and covered in plaque 😅 I never understood that whole affair thing. But he also was eventually fired for apparently exposing himself to a 19 y/o when he was taking over a different store.
I once found a youtuber in my nuggies. So gross.
More!!
Omg these are great! Also you have an excellent memory
I told the cooks at the restaurant I work at about the deep fried dishcloth not that long after it happened, and they were equally amused and disgusted at the so-called “mistake”.
Yeah, it turns out people don't know something has to be crumbed or battered first

The towel reminds me of the american dad bit. "You put a sponge in the microwave, microwaved it for 30 seconds flipped it over and microwaved it for another 30 seconds. You had a lot of opportunities to see its not food!"
As someone who's married to a Filipino, I can tell you first hand that business has not suffered at Jollibee, as the lines are out the door everytime we go.
as someone who IS filipino....you are correct.

As someone who also is Filipino, I can confirm this is correct information.
I think it has more so affected their expansions opportunities, as it was likely the first time many people had heard of Jollibees, first impressions are really really important when it comes to selling things, especially when there is a myriad of more well known fast food places similar to Jollibees.
Funny thing: I'm a manager at a certain fast food franchise. Being what it is, I get a lot of prank calls. Most of them are kids asking if we have big macs.

@@vaultboy0073 it'd be hard to know when it happens
I could do a reenactment but I don't think it'd deliver the same
hey, im a former kitchen worker so i thought i'd share some thoughts on the jollibee situation. personally i believe that this was absolutely on purpose. see, working in fast food or any service industry job can get really frustrating, and unfortunately sometimes people take it too far. in my experience, the cleaning equipment and the actual food we served were kept separate, so things like this wouldn't happen. hair nets or a hat were required, and we had to wear gloves when preparing food. even with gloves on i'd be able to tell the difference between a towel with flour and batter on it as opposed to a piece of chicken with the same stuff on it; even if i was dead tired from a long shift i could tell the difference. and about chemicals in the towel... MOST DEFINITELY. when i was working in a kitchen i'd end up helping with cleaning too. for the towels we use a combination of bleach and water, meaning that if the sanitation standards were the same, and she actually fed her kid a piece of that towel, she would've been feeding her child what is essentially a deep fried bleach infused cloth.
I just want chicken 😫
I’m from Vegas and when I was in school it was always said that there was a finger found in a Wendy’s FROSTY. I was terrified to get a frosty from Wendy’s for YEARS after hearing the story, and when I finally started ordering them again I always waited until I was home so I could dump the entire frosty out in a bowl and search through it 😅 Turns out the story I as I’ve always known it is wrong and now thanks to this video I know it was actually chili the finger was found in lmao
Anna Ayala is one hell of a story teller. Her story was so descriptive and her facial expressions were so real.
"eating....eating and eating....the way usually people eat...." - 19:55
Yeah, she sure is one hell of a story teller alright! 😆
@@BlueGreyWolf saying wierd/"not scripted" stuff like that actually makes it more realistic. A written out story with 100% perfect speech and grammar would seem too made up.
Honestly I would be horrified if I found a dismembered finger in my chili. Heck I would be horrified if a stranger put their attached finger in my chili.

If you ever find something crazy in your food, document everything as thorough as possible.
Most importantly, keep it in your possession, don't give it to the company. They will offer you "rewards" but the reward for not taking those "rewards" is far far greater.
Also, a lawyer might even take on your case pro bono if they think you have something substantial.
I really enjoyed the whole episode. Thank you for some great content.
Not gonna lie, I have respect for Phillip and his soda-stealing contraption.

Fortunately management's always been reasonably competent, but the nature of a cafe/a lot of fast food places is that it attracts a lot of young people who are, at best, ignorant of food safety precautions, and at worst are absolutely brain-dead (or worse, perfectly aware and *lazy)* about them.
I had a coworker tell a (not nearly new enough for this to be not-horrifying) employee that they needed to dump out that sanitizer bucket, because it was cloudy and gross and no longer usable,and the response the employee gave her was "but it's sanitizer, it cleans itself". 🤦♀ I don't have any major horror stories because again, competent management goes a long way, but a lot of it was "no, you need to wear gloves" and "no, you cannot put dairy products in the non-dairy blenders, we could make someone sick." And don't even get me started on the ones that didn't know how to wash dishes properly.
Operation soda steal is the best fast food incident of all time. So wholesome and just fun. Would be even better to see taco bell have a fun response lol.
I would have been like “I’m not even mad, just impressed”
@@itsmxtwist ".. Well, damn. I didn't expect that."
@@GumSkyloard"you could've just asked for a water cup" or "you know we offer free refills right?"
i bet it was worth it considering it was taco bell’s baja blast if i was an employee who worked over there when that happened i would be impressed
Ok fun fact about the Jollibee thing: non food items in kitchens are blue specifically so that if it falls into food that's being prepared it can be seen and removed. There is no food that is naturally blue (when you think of a blue food, it's usually either artificially colored or actually purple)
@@satanikpanik. sir, are you colorblind?
@@satanikpanik. K.
@@satanikpanik. blueberries aren't really part of Jollibee's menus as far as I'm aware so it'd be weird to even have them in the kitchen anyway.
@@satanikpanik. blueberries are actually purple.
Yeah exactly. What I think someone has enough of dirty job and crazy customers so he served fresh fried blue rag :D
I love the longer videos - great job....keep it up
The madlad in the soda steal story amazes me.
What an amazing madlad.
The Jolibee incident as I see it: I've been a chef for over 30 years and seen some pretty nasty stuff done to food coming up in the ranks over the years. Someone was cleaning up and accidently dropped the rag in the batter, and thought "Hey, wonder what it'll look like cooked" and did just that. When it came out looking like a real piece of chicken, they probably showed it around to co-workers and had a laugh and put it aside to show other workers on a later shift, got busy, forgot about it, someone saw a piece of "chicken" just hanging out by itself and threw it in with an actual order. NASTY!! Of course, what I just mentioned is complete supposition on my part, but as I mentioned, I've been in the racket for a long time and seen some horrible stuff, but this was probably an accident. Then again....lol.
I saw sombody say that they caught sombody peeing in the McDonald’s pickle buckets 😭😭
You saved the best for last, the Baja Blast story was truly inspiring
It really made my day, and reinstilled my hope for humanity.
Baja blast is truly a goated soda.
"livin the dream" 😂
I like how the whole soda heist was an entire internet project xD
@@marzialalfonzocanada888 lol
I knew Operation Soda Steal / Operation Baja Blast was attempted at one point, but I didn't know it had been successful, and I had *no* idea it was all filmed! It's incredible that such an important piece of internet history was preserved forever.
That soda steal was fantastic. I applauded lol was genius
My first hint that the chilly finger story was BS was the fact that you used a mug shot to introduce the scammer. The second hint and arguably the biggest tell of them all: she went to Wendy's and only ordered chilly. No one in their right mind would ever do that.
okay i aint gonna lie, 20 years ago when i was dead broke living on the streets and all i had was some change in my pocket, i would order a 99cent Chili(with extra crackers) 😂😂
I can tell you you're dead wrong. There are plenty of people who only order chili. Especially in the winter months.
@@xxhobocatxx2869 you don't think i was being serious, do you? I'm well aware that if there's a product out there, it's going to have fans that enjoy it. For example, i know people that actually prefer papa John's, and that's even more unbelievable then liking Wendy's chilly lol

Operation Soda Steal just makes me yearn even harder for the days of internet forums. Before social media like reddit and twitter replaced the entire concept of online communities where regular forum users would interact and recognize each other, and crazy shit like OSS could happen from that one guy you never really paid attention to until he had an awesomely stupid idea.
Truly was a different time back then. I miss those days.
Me too. Also it seems that people were just less toxic in general.
Agree. It was a good experience for me. Miss that too.
@@Gatorade69 not true, there was just less people on the internet period
@@tempestsquall5882 That is a good point but from my perspective I'm just not sure about that. I would even go as far as saying that just people in general and offline are much more toxic than people used to be.
Back in the day all my friends were online on MySpace but why are they much more toxic now on Facebook ? Anonymity used to be a bigger thing online and still I believe people were nicer in general. Take Reddit for example the place used to welcome conversation/debate but has gotten so toxic, I deleted my account in 2016 cause it just got so bad. Even politics. It's now at the point where both parties are a giant joke and people are unable or unwilling to open their minds to a debate. Simple one words like Simp, Boomer etc are used to discredit something people say.
It just seems to me that people in general used to be nicer, both online and not.

I’ve watched so many of ur videos and I bond w my animals while watching keep doing what ur doing I love it
For the jollibee towel, if I had to guess what happened, that towel was probably just used to clean up after the chicken had gone through the process of getting fully battered up. Then they accidentally dropped it in with a load of chicken or maybe forgot about it near one with it still being fully covered by batter, and then it ended up getting fried and delivered as if it was chicken because the breading on the outside would pretty well conceal the color for most fast food workers just wanting to get through their day
If this was mine I would have laughed about it and asked for a refund or a new order. That shit is funny
@@PlanetApplez xDD
But if that is true how did the towel get breading on it??? I gruntee it was some idiot kid thinking it would be funny to batter and deep fry a towel
@@theretrodudesnetwork3823 it is kinda funny to deep fry a towel 💀
It is also possible that they were on autopilot so they probably weren't paying attention to if it's chicken or not
Well having worked at Jollibee in Illinois, even we were making fun of the fried towel.
It's crazy bc the chicken cooking process involves a hand breading station in which fryers will INSPECT EACH INDIVIDUAL PIECE OF CHICKEN while breading it.
I stand by Jollibee and their food though, it is so good.
thanks for just repeating the video. really helpful
@@dan3458 lol I was commenting as I was watching, my bad
@@jker2012 it seems intentional. I can't understand how it ended up battered and in the frier
Jollibee kinda sucks. The chicken is mediocre at best. And the mash is garbage. The gravy is ok but they don't add enough. The spaghetti is disgusting🤢 and the burgers are ok I guess
@@misanthropic_shithead7438 because it probably went in when someone was being careless in the batter or something, the picture almost looks convincing at a glance but I imagine it very well could have been intentional
the burger king foot lettuce incident was mentioned in my online training when i worked at taco bell
“Ain’t now way around it, this was 100% a fucking fried towel.” LMFAO
Besides just being a decent person THIS is why I would never be rude to someone handling my food. Like just imagine how many times stuff like this happens and doesn't get caught.
woiuldnt this be the exact reason why u should be a rude person? Because they serve things like this
@@stanimirborov3765 lol yea if youd like to get served some nut on your burger
@@stanimirborov3765dont be rude first, only call them out if they give you bullshit food
My first job was at Taco Bell when I was 18 years old. I was working the line, a girl was working the drive-thru...about 20 years old then. The lady ordering outside was a complete 'Karen' we call it now. The girl working the drive-thru walked back grabbed 2 burrito shells & said "here I'm making hers". Probably dosen't take a whole lot of imagination to know what she did with those burrito shells. I was in complete shock. I had to go see if anyone was in the car with. I was just hoping they weren't for a child..
@@grantwileyesq.5962 I used to work at pizza hut in HS and we had one guy come in piss drunk a few min before closing and was insistent on dining in even though the dining room was already closed. Dude was a prick and pissed off my manager at the time who ended up pumping a couple of squirts of oil and a cup full of jalapeño juice all over his personal pan then served it to him. He was prolly too drunk to notice but I have always been nice to the folks making my food since then
The Baja Blast contraption wasn't a disaster honestly, that was an epic win.
The RuneScape music during the sponsored ad was simply, hysterical.
i just love this channel.
The most disturbing part is that this could be happening anywhere and we're just not noticing. I can't believe that I'm only JUST realizing that I have been completely trusting my food with random people
Random, underpaid, disgruntled, morons. I haven't eaten fast food in years.
Until you get sick or get a deep fried towel. You will continue to not care. Now I may be one of the few here, but as long as I'm not ingesting anyone else's bodily fluids, dangerous chemicals, non menu animal flesh, etc I don't really care how bad it is in the kitchen. As long as I'm not straight up ingesting rotting or infected food, I don't care. The human stomach can handle a lot, and we are quite squeamish when it comes to many things that we can safely consume. I've dropped food on the floor and ate it many times before. Because I'm not rich and/or it was a favorite food I refused to throw away.
@@DavidVassleofYeshuasame here I mean I wouldn’t want someone to spit in my food but if someone did I really wouldn’t know unless I was told otherwise stomach acid is some really freaking strong stuff that can break down basically any organic compound and not like your going to notice someone spit in your food anyways
Another reason why I am always polite to servers, other than just respect for humans, I would prefer the person handing me food not hate me enough to do so
Eh, don't worry about it at fast food chains. Most of them have very high sanitation standards these days, to avoid any lawsuits. I'd be more worried if you're eating at a small, poorly rated business. Make sure to spend a few extra bucks on food for quality, and you're good.
Really not a problem there's cameras everywhere. Just dramatised for views & comments, they'd find out either way.
It's 2:30am.
And I am fully invested in this one story of a guy, online, conducting a massive operation to steal roughly 2 gallons of Mountain Dew from a local Taco Bell.
Being told the tale by some other guy, online, with a colorful collar and a psychedelic backdrop and lava lamp. Whose very expressions and mannerisms drive home the fact of how ridiculous this story, this world and my life can be.
I wouldn't change a thing.
As an ex employee of Wendy’s, I can’t speak to how they made chili back then, but the general way we make it nowadays is by adding cut-up burger meat to a chili mix that only contains the veggie and beans needed.
I have no idea if that’s indicative of the scammer not knowing how the chili was made, or if the way they produce their chili changed as a result of the incident.
the small man takin soda off the big man i love it
The chili finger incident immediately set off alarms for me once I saw the woman involved. I've dealt with quite a few people who give off those "rip off artist" vibes and her body language and tone really resembled that of someone looking for a big payout from a large company. Something about the seemingly rehearsed and unnatural flow to the questioning.
I immediately suspected her by the look in the eyes and the way she talked LOL
i wouldn't go that far... a lot of sht I say sounds rehearsed too BC it kinda is to blend in more since I have autism, I hope u dont judge people of things like that this quickly in real life
@@kathaai there is a whole difference when someone is simply awkward with their surrounding and someone who is trying to manipulate the surrounding, it is not just the tone but the whole vibe of how they come off. Though your point should be noted too
It’s just crazy that such a scam can get so huge. When wavy said “established titles works with global charities,” it sounds like he really meant it. I hope the ppl at established titles get in actual trouble but I don’t know if China cares about stuff like that.
I think that China is the best place to scam people from seeing how sweatshops can operate there like its something normal
precisely!
They don’t that’s why they have children working in sweatshops for pennies
It's such an old scam as well. A friend of mine was gifted a plot of land on the moon in the 90s. You can 'buy' stars as well. It's total nonsense of course.
@@grunions9648 In my country there was a guy who was selling land plots in heaven 😂
You've got Some Nerve putting that deep fryer beeping in right before I'm heading to work.
Love the use of Baroque during the ad read
Imagine the one guy losing his finger to a machine accident. Then for some reason your co worker actually accepted it as a payment for a 100 dollar loan. Only to find out he kept that finger and would eventually use it as part of his con scheme with his wife. Imagine your reaction if you were in his shoes.
Then finding out your boss told Wendy's about you losing the finger, and got $100,000.00 for the information.
And so many people got laid off because of these psychopaths.

I grew up in San Jose, and i was real young when the Wendy's chili finger scandal occurred, but i remember it was frontpage news there for months. I was impressionable at the time and this story grossed me out so much I'd get queezy any time I'd pass that Wendy's for like the next couple years. Even to this day I've never eaten at Wendy's despite knowing the finger-chili was completely fraudulent. It ingrained some aversion in me, and i just can't eat Wendy's now
I tried it actually in San Jose a few years ago I did not find it objectionable in any way, maybe a bit greasy but naturally so.
And whenever I read the word finger I’m doomed to always hear “waltuh”

You can't expect an American guy to talk too many stories from Brazil, but we definitely have my favorite story of "food contamination": the rat inside the Coca-Cola bottle.
This story is from 2013, but the bottles were actually purchased over a decade before that. There were sealed bottles of Coca-Cola with actual rat bits in there, and those pics became viral.
What prompted the "revival" of this story is that the guy that purchased those cokes bottles got paralyzed, and he claimed that this happened as a side effect from consuming some of the rat-infested coke bottle over a decade prior!!!
The case went to trial in 2014, and Coca-Cola won a complete victory. The way the rat bits survived in the soda were considered inconsistent with a possible contamination in the factory. Although one of the bottles with rat bits were sealed, it was determined that wasn't the original factory seal. Finally, there seems to be no connection between drink rat-flavored-Coke and losing your ability to walk 10 tears later.
I think I actually heard about this one
I guess Brazil also has a large amount of gang related shootings or executions in fast food places.

I remember the Wendy's finger-in-the-chili incident. Wendy's definitely took a huge hit there. I know a number of people who stopped going to Wendy's, until it was found out to all be untrue. It's disturbing how a few people seeking monetary gain could potentially harm a lot of people. If that hadn't been resolved in such a way, Wendy's might have never recovered and might have slowly die off. This wouldn't just affect the employees at Wendy's, but also any of their food providers.
