How can someone eat Subway chicken and be like yeah, that taste like 100% chicken
As long as the client perceives value in a product and you lie well to him, he'll keep eating it without question.
Marketing class 101.
Joel Espinosa They clearly haven't ate real chicken breasts.
Give one for the "PELA'O DE POLLO" ("cheap chicken"), as the oven-roasted is called out here...
I never get chicken at Subway anyways :P
Joel Espinosa I know that's what I was thinking. like it doesn't seem good, but I mean it tastes good still.
When the older lady tried the Wendy's chicken, she knew exactly which one that was by her facial expressions LOL
well yeah obviously, wendy's has like a distinct taste
I thought the same thing.
Haha so true
Yeah and at 8:18 "ill try" well duh grandma that's why you are there, she made it sound like a hard choice 😂
a few of us older folks can actually tell by LOOKING at food whether it's real or not. Today folks eat anything and sadly later in life they will wonder why they are sick or worse.
*At the tim hortons' drive through"
"is it 100% chicken"
"yes"
Wth would the employee care to know lmao
They have to say what the marketing team tells them or they get fired.
It is what it is.
You wouldn't say the same about a waiter/waitress would you?
Restaurant staff serving food need to at least be aware of these commonality.
I worked there. It was pre cooked and came frozen in bags. The bags were put in hot water until the chicken got warm. After a few hours it was like rubber. A few more hours and it went rock hard. lol
@@legalizeweed3830 home economics101: thaw in refrigerator or in cold water. Do Not use hot water
I worked at Subway for over a year in high school. My manager allowed us to have one 6" sandwich for free if we worked more than 4 hours in one shift. I ate nearly everything on the menu, and even made my own creations. The one item I refused to touch was the chicken. The "oven roasted chicken" patties/strips came in a big clear bag that we stored in the freezer, put in the microwave to thaw, and then stored in a hotwell, where they stayed until someone bought them or we closed (usually the latter). Then we would have to either refrigerate them until the next day, or throw them out if they were reheated from the previous day. Proper temperature monitoring had to be done throughout the day of course. The only thing I liked about the chicken was that it was the easiest meat to prepare on a sandwich, but if someone asked me what to get, I would never recommend it. Absolutely disgusting that it was allowed to be sold like that, and the health department approved everything. We had a perfect score at the location I worked. I haven't had a Subway sandwich in years because of my experience working there.
M mx
have you tried the rotisserie chicken ? Tastes and feels the most real out of the 3.
I can only eat subway once every other Year. Same for Arbys.
Thank you for sharing
I worked at Subway in highschool too and remember loving the chicken strips. If I recall correctly they were in individual plastic baggies and we microwaved each baggie as it was requested. What I loved the most was the meatballs. I'd just throw a bunch into a cup and eat them like that. No idea if these items still exist, I cannot bring myself to go to Subway.
Fast food isn't healthy? It's made with processed ingredients? WHAAAT?! I'M SHOCKED!!!
I KNOW RIGHT!
+Lion Alesso You do realize that it's sarcasm right?
Why is your picture an axolotl?
Uberfish
Right?!?
"I thought I was making a healthier choice!"
If you want to make a "healthier choice" cook at home!
Lol!
If you don't want to cook at home, than ingesting processed, less healthy foods is going to be that result.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with "splurging" once in a while, or having a "lazy day", or even being too busy to stop at home long enough to cook and eat *ONCE IN A WHILE.*
Doing this *ONCE IN A WHILE* isn't going to hurt you. It's when you do this kind of thing on a daily basis that you are looking at some negative health results.
Top 10 most shocking facts ever
There's a difference between "100% chicken" and "made *with* 100% chicken". Can't trust the marketing department
we can’t trust CBC marketing are you qualified to make that claim. Subway took them to. court and lost,are you a lap tech. Show us your qualifications to say we we can’t trust their marketing.
@@tombrenner4418 The case was dismissed and Subway was ordered to pay for CBC's legal costs. CBC's test results may have been exaggerated, but nobody believes Subway's chicken was close to 100% chicken.
So what.
So right! I remember a slogan on a frozen beef burger product in Ireland 30+ years ago - "100% Irish beef beef burgers". So while you're thinking 100% beef - they are just saying that all the beef used is Irish - but that doesn't tell you the percentage of beef in the product... (and it was far less than you'd think)
The frozen chicken perdue and Tyson from the supermarkets are the same if not more disgusting. I bought some of the perdue chicken strips for fajitas and I spit all of it out. It was pure rubber.
I'm from the states, I live in Wausau Wisconsin. I absolutely adore this show. I love seeing you guys get to the bottom of things and find the truth. One thing that I cannot stand, is people being deceitful and ripping people off. I do not make a lot of money, and every dollar I spend should be spent in the right way with honesty behind it. Keep doing what you guys are doing you're amazing, I wish we had something like marketplace in the USA. Also I love Canada, and all people who live there. You guys are the sweetest most honest people out there!!!
Agree with you, especially the last sentence :)
I'm also from the United States. I like watching this show too. Whatever Canada is facing were facing too
I'm also from the states, watching this show!! I love it to!!
It's crazy when they start to boast "Now with REAL eggs" - You gotta wonder what they were using up to that!
A fast food restaurant has all bagged ingredients. And just micro waved. Chicken from Mexico.
Mcdonalds uses real eggs in australia!
Turned me into a vegetarian!
mjd Edge
Have you ever had scrambled eggs at a buffet or in the hospital? What are they made of?
Most likely they use freeze dried eggs turned into a powder form. The military used powdered eggs already in WW2 and was a common complaint in the MASH TV series.
It is a method to create a longer shelf life and also to make transport a lot easier. Powder batches are also easier to analyze in the lab and give it a grade. Many school lunches consist of grade C ingredients...
If subway "oven roasted" their chicken...
Why would they give it GRILLmarks
You weren't paying attention..... Re-watch!
Check at 19:07
I think something got lost in the video production. My Subway has 4 chicken sandwiches including grilled chicken which do, and oven roasted which don't have grill marks.
why the fuc would they grill chicken when the closest you get to cooked food is a meatball out of a microwave subway is a cold food store can't get made because their food doesn't have to be cooked
they're still real searing marks
You shouldn't test people right next to them they'll be influenced by the first person no matter what
i was thinking that too - group mentality
yup it's a psychology perspective - sociocultural
Also, people tend to remember the last thing in a list. Surprise surprise, they put the chef's chicken last instead of in the middle. You think any of them remember what A or B tasted like? This "test" had a clear agenda and ignored the whole "most are 100% chicken and the rest use safe additives" stuff. Not to mention the fact that she speaks to everyone like they're children.
Yeah, it is one of the most common issues with focus group interviews and should have been avoided by asking in isolation since there are not many people there.
HeyGuy4321 yeah it’s called groupthink
people just need to start cooking for themselves as much as possible... sorry, it's the only solution.
Watch their vid on grocery store meat next
@@bubblegumbxtchh i'll definitely check it out... however, i work at a grocery store, so i'm sure i won't be surprised! :)
Not so much.. unfortunately even the chicken at grocery stores are genetically mutilated (glued together).. and filled with antibiotics / bacteria from poor raising. Honestly it’s much more difficult than just cooking for yourself now
Yes unless you are yes sick and tired of cooking and cleaning up! Go out to a real restaurant and tip well because YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO IT YOURSELF!!
@@patriciayohn6136 i agree 100% and a lot of restaurants aren’t even that much more expensive than these fast food joints (especially ma and pa shops)... however, I do enjoy cooking, so I rarely eat out! :)
Wasn't long ago when a meal for 2 was less than $10. Now an average meal for 2 is over $25. That's near dine in restaurant prices.
have you ever heard of homemade food?
Dan C
You're correct fast food is getting expensive. You might as well go to a restaurant were your served.
Yes that’s true. I ordered door dash from Burger King for my son and I. I tipped 5 dollars because it’s not far from where we live but my car was down so anyway with that and the door dash delivery fee and one whopper meal and one chking meal it was 32 dollars which is ridiculous but my son wanted to try the chking so I agreed to it. He didn’t like the sandwich so we don’t order door dash anymore
Yeah soda has went from 99 cents to 2.70
Gas has went from 3 dollars to 5
Candy went from a dollar and some change to three dollars
Also people are getting payed higher wages. People are also working jobs that are inefficient to the economy, thing like door dash
@Young Finance
Ever heard of inflation?
Oh, these guys forgot a very important fact... WHERE'S KFC? And every other chicken-based chain's products...
(Inquiring minds wanna' know...)
I don't believe any of those businesses has funded CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, think, like BBC, a government-owned "public corporation"...) for the last 45 years (that's how long this program has been on the air up there...). Nope, they have other bureaucratic quirks...
Proof?
I just assume it's cause they're only testing grilled chicken (no idea if KFC has grilled chicken but I've never seen it in my area)
you might not have noticed but its grilled only no fried
KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken, if you didn't know...) is in A LOT OF COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD, including many Canadian neighborhoods...
"you might not have noticed but it's grilled only no fried"
Both GRILLED and FRIED versions are available in several countries (grilled isn't available where I live anymore...)
Thats funny because ive been saying for years that those grill lines are painted on lol
Chris Barreira Same. It's just shocking how some people are so naive and believe everything they are told. Smh
Why are there "grill marks" on "oven roasted" chicken in the first place?
Roasting doesn't make grill marks, _grilling_ does.
Jane Lin Hot iron
I don't see what's the problem guys. Nutrition facts are nutrition facts. Ingredients are different. The only reason you want to worry about ingredient is if you have some kind of reaction to them. Ofcourse the ingredients are regulated and safe for you by Health Canada.
TheMidnightNarwhal-yeah, totally...why would government lie to you...
Damn subway be having the whole periodic table
Subway is so gross. I make my own sandwiches.
Always knew subways cardboard chicken was just that... Cardboard
Except it isn't. CBC got sued over this, and the only reason they didn't get hammered was because they passed off responsibility to the people who mucked up the testing.
No tree products allowed in the chicken...but soya beans? Definitely OK.
They’re going to have to do this with the Popeye’s chicken sandwich.
Jason Wilson agreed
That's going to be 200%
This is why i don't eat other peoples food or rarely dine out, and as for Popeye's i do not like at all.
And Chick Filet Also
this is Canadian not american
guy- mm tender (6:40)
*a few seconds later*
everyone else- ew it's dry and rubbery
guy- *suddenly embarassed*
KidtheBilly lol i was scrolling just to find this comment
He also said he goes to Subway because their chicken is real. Then he claims it's the least real of the bunch. Dude looked dumb at every opportunity.
Dangg these documentaries are exposing the hell outta these restaurants and stores and I'm living for it lmao
wow
If you didn't know, Tim hortons' chicken is actually prepared in the microwave .... I worked there for over 6 months and we only put the frozen chicken in the microwave until it's hot
So what?
I'm a little disturbed that the man actually thought Subway's chicken was straight from the farm with no additives or other unnatural content. There's a reason that they are able to offer $5 footlong sandwiches, but if it was actually natural ingredients it would probably have to retail at closer to $10.
Yeah, subway chicken, and their other "meats" for that matter, come in a plastic bag.
Their chicken sandwich IS closer to $10.
their foot long isn't 12 inches, it's more like 8-9 inches
IblewuponyourfaceIII that's what she said
+bret you she was right
strange to me that people are actually surprised by this
its strange to me that people find 50% chicken a problem. i mean... who really cares? people eat to much meat anyway.
Beshari Jamal I know right lol😂
Beshari Jamal Because people expect any deliberate different between the product label/signage and the actual product to be punished as fraud. If I buy a gallon of cyanide, I would be upset if it was actually botox instead.
John Francis Doe I wouldn't. I could sell it to the doctors for a nice sum
There's no way a gallon of botox is worth more than a gallon of cyanide.
@2:02 for some reason, "legitimate chicken" just sounds hilarious
wow, we need more investigations like this
Results start at 12:52
2tone 2real good looking out lol
Thanks! :)
God bless you 😂
2tone 2real thanks
Thank you!!
DNA test results: you are not the father
You are not the chicken
But I'm bonded to the chicken now, and I'd still like to be a part of its life.
In this case, Rooster, you are not the father.
But I love my chicken little baby😭
The chicken never had the rooster 😉
I sure appreciate this test. Eat at home. It's cheaper and safer. Just cook a huge batch, wrap, and freeze it till you're ready to warm it and serve. It will save lots of time. Especially when you BBQ. The leftovers will taste so good.
I'd love to do this, but the taste of reheated chicken makes me want to puke. I have to cook chicken the day I want to eat it each time
Everything ends up frost bit, no matter how good you seal it.
I appreciate your courage in revealing the truth about the renowned food brands.
What are these brands going to do? Improve quality??? Lol
Home cooking is the best. You have more control of what you put into it.
Dwayne Wladyka True, but this video is meant more for people who need a bite in hurry and want to know the best option.
How do you cook WITHOUT sugar, salt, or oil? I mean you can't make anything... not even bread.
SimmonSays I agree. However, if you have spare time, make meals and freeze them. Heat them up quickly and you are good to go.
who ami You said most. Look where you purchase your food from. That helps.
you still buy all your food from a grocery store that uses chemicals just to keep them looking fresh. this day in age its impossible to not eat processed food unless you live far away from a concrete jungle.
I remember going to subway once, only to see their chicken floating in water. Also when I got a roast beef sandwich, they opened up a container as if it was cat food and dumped it on.
Chad Stuetzel good lord......
Or what about the tuna water 💦
Chad Stuetzel Subway pretty much is cat food
Canned or packaged tuna is typically stored in water or oil anyway.
I worked at Subway for a period. Food is typically taken out of the package or prepared about a day before, depends on how busy it gets. When the container that they have on display is running out, they take the container that had previously been prepared, take the old one out, put whatever is still in it over the new one, and put the new one in. If they dumped the new container over the old one, that was a big mistake on the staff's part. Depending on the rest of the staff and your manager, doing stuff like that can also get you in trouble.
I'm just binge watching all of these episodes
I feel the taste testers were slightly psychologically induced. They saw what others thought, and they either were swayed away or towards a similar response. Maybe you should've done them in separate rooms? (That's just what I got from it tho.)
GD Sphinx you're right tho. Isolated test work best.
that older dude was a dumbass, he judged the chicken based on cutting into it when its a taste test
Couldn't help but think this the whole time.
GD Sphinx I was just about to write the exact same comment. They definitely should have been separated as a control measure.
Tyler Lucas well you can tell by cutting something it will feel different so it is valid but if it was truly strictly taste than yes I do agree on what you’ve said.
"I make sure to watch my sodium"
*No tf u don't*
Correct. If you are watching your sodium you don't eat fast food or processed food.
I mean you can watch your sodium and still eat whatever, so long as it's in moderation
“Be carful churldren”
i like to look at my salt as i pour it onto my food
Spook, bahahahaha!
Whenever you want a food, go on TH-cam to learn how to prepare it, buy the stuff and cook for yourself.
nah to much time and money
Or just get skip the dishes😆
It is easier said than done though. When you have kids and a full-time job it's hard to care for the kids in the morning, work all day, go back to caring for the kids and make a big meal, clean up a big meal, take care of the kids some more, then drop and do it again the next day. Cooking often takes away the little time you have to relax, or be with your kids. Whereas I can buy Wendy's and be done with the entire transaction AND food in less than 5 minutes, with no clean up. I'm not saying it's right, I'm really trying to do exactly this, but I get why people try to ignore how bad it is just to not cook. It is 1,000% more effort, time and money to cook your own food. It's hard..
@@nicoleowens2318 👌👍
Just eat at local not chain restaurants
it’s funny cus subway chicken still looks like that lmao
Looks like bread lol
And it tastes as bad as it looks. The texture is bad, basically there is nothing good about it.
The kids has said:
'It was rubber'
'It tasted plain'
'It tasted rubber'
*quality content*
PATRICK STAR go grab a krappy patty
PATRICK STAR also, "Its stringy" as if it's a bad thing.... natural chicken breasts ARE stringy 😂
don't forget. "it tastes kickin "
+j burggg:
Yes, at 14:00, the kid said kicken. That's brilliant! I am going to call it kicken from now on.
E
They knew G was prepared by the chef cause he kept making silly facial expressions.
HAHA
Also it was cooked moments before they walked in while the other sample presumably had been refrigerated and reheated
nkjenknkwefdk i know eh
nkjenknkwefdk on top of the fact it looked it good. the other ones all looked kinda grosse. normally you wouldn't care if it's in a bun, on its own tho is bad
right lol felt like I was watching the office again
This channel is the truth speakers based on facts ! Amazing love to watch more.
"Fast Food" means don't trust that it's all natural food. Natural food restaurant's that just cook the food as is, without messing with it is the best bet .
True, but it does come with a hefty price tag. Artisan street food trucks are another option. Most are locals that are creating a handful of dishes with ingredients they usually buy daily at wholesale supermarkets.
On the other hand, it is not so bad if you visit a fast food restaurant every now and then (let's say 3 or 4 times a year). I know McDonald's hamburgers are not 100% beef, but my kids love their happy meals and have real fresh food on weekdays. Saturday is our guilty pleasure day (fast food or pizza) and on sunday we pick-up a takeout order from a restaurant.
Take a shot every time they say chicken.
Are you trying to get us killed!
Killed? You must not be a Canadian. Grow a pair, bud.
So … When a person lies , it is a lie , but when a corporation lies , it is called misleading . I see this double speak and double speak always fools the majority , but not everyone .
And when a corporation commits crimes blatantly - even though they are now a "person" according to the Supreme Court ruling - no one ever goes to prison.
Exactly . A corporation is a big money contributor to Government . Its employees also do their taxes , another monies for Government . Money talks .
they also use the term "may not be entirely factual", when they mean 'lying' too
And it's legal for them to be "misleading"
A lie is misleading. But misleading may not necessarily be a lie.
Product B may be 1% 'healthier' than Product A, but both of them could contain over 5,000mg of sodium per serving which is definitely not healthy. Technically not a lie but it is definitely misleading.
Gosh.. Subway been saving so many chicken lives!! 😁
Exactly
Bumper sticker..."Eat at Subway and save the animals".
1:17 LOL! His face gives off that "Don't stare at the camera" vibe.
Dude is breathing so hard through his nostrils trying to look straight lmfao 🤣
Why the hell did Subway put artificial grill marks on OVEN ROASTED chicken?
so they didn't blow their cover but it didn't work
so they didn't blow their cover but it didn't work
I'll take a stab at this and guess... ummm.. it wasn't "oven roasted", heck, 50% of it isn't even chicken!
For someone thats worked at Subway.. The chicken isn't even real chicken? I can peel it apart when its thawed or cooked (more likely heated) and it doesn't come apart like real chicken. Everything is artificial. The chicken strips at Subway are literally just like the oven roasted chicken. Just chopped smaller. It's called marketing. That's how they get business.
The grill marks are just to make you think it's real and for appeal.
Grilling meat creates umami, the 5th taste, and one preferred by men. Also grill marks make the food appear better. 2 good reasons for grilling the meat.
People: *tells lies about products*
Marketplace: I'm about to end this man's career
Huh? Are the people the companies, or consumers? Is the Marketplace the sellers, stores, or customers?
Zenmonster
1. you dont need to like your own comments/replies
2. if you watched the video, you would know that the people are the people who are saying it is healthy, 100% of something etc. and marketplace is marketplace
I find it hilarious that Subway tried to sue CBC over this. The case was dismissed and Subway had to pay $500,000 to CBC. What a joke.
@@konosioannidis1299 ctrl + v
I love how they choose the most wholesome people. An adorable nice older lady whose personality reminds me of my late mother, a dude who’s a fan of subway. A nice mother who is allowed to bring her children to taste test. I guess it just makes the program more real.
wait did they cut it with a *_BUTTER KNIFE AND THEN SAY IT WAS HARD TO CUT?!?!?!?_*
Mind blown, I know (joke)
4:19 "Is it frozen or fresh?"
It is 100% frozen. I worked at Wendy's. There's not a piece of chicken that goes through those places that isn't frozen, it's not economical to store or transport them without freezing it. Now their beef, that's refrigerated but not actually frozen. All of the chicken is completely frozen though. And I'm not saying that to rag on Wendys, honestly I love their chicken. (Those homestyle chicken are AMAZING if you bake them. Couldn't tell from frying them but they have a subtle lemon flavor.) Just don't like it when people lie. To be fair I don't think the register person thought about it, I mean it's not like the chicken sits there forever. There's really high turnover for product. So it might have been in the freezer a few days or a week at the store itself, which all things considered I have things in my freezer far longer than that and it's just fine XD
Don’t tell anybody about the chili meat lol 🤫
@@ChrisP.Bacon008 XD It's not *that* bad. Usually.
You dont have tseco in canada? Subway can buy raw chicken from there. What is the big problem?
Not much to add there.
nothing wrong with freezing meat, it's how it's reared that's important
🎵 I just took a DNA test. Turns out, I’m 100% chick en 🎵
🤣🤣🤣
Trisha? That u? 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Hahahaha!!
I’m fkng crying 🤣
The additives are mostly potential allergens! I see both cornstarch and yeast extract in the list: I'm allergic to corn and yeast and I didn't even realize the chicken was as off limits as the bun. Not to mention the soy, which is one of the 8 most common allergens!
take a shot every time someone says chicken lmao
This was a bad experiment. You put his chicken last and there's a psychological aspect in that. They should have put his in the middle and not have him there giving visual ques
Jebrone Love Kitten Or have each person in a separate room. I have a feeling that in some way the kid (or the other adults) were influenced from the previous judgements.
That may be true. However, the Chef's chicken breast is 100% chicken meat.:)
Mr. Sleepy
No matter what you are testing, if your _process_ is flawed your results will be as well; if this had been a company testing a product officially, the results would have been thrown out. If they wanted to actually test this properly they should have had them all in separate rooms (or at very least had them save the chatter for the end so they didn't influence one another and a sheet to put notes on) giving the chicken in random order for _each_ person (put them on identical paper plates with the label on the underside so you know which is which).
KyleCorbeau Even more important: Noone in the room is allowed to know which is which, and the letter assignment/ordering must be randomized with completely even odds.
How could the guy who regularly eats at subway not recognize the chicken. You literally see them take out the cold chicken and heat it in front of your eyes when you order a sub. I get that this is all acting but geez man, this is one point that is just too obvious to ignore.
Chicken tastes like almost nothing. You're tasting more of the sauce and maybe some bun and lettuce/tomatoes/olive
Subha Mohan they say when you don't know something and it's just letters for the name your brain thinks it's something different.n they have done studies telling ppl a type of food was the most expensive food and organic really it was just McDonald's and it made them think it tasted better than when they knew it was McDonald's
Also each piece of chicken is exactly the same size and shape. So, it is not cut from a chicken at all. Its chopped, and formed in the exact same shape. Nuts.
Kyle Sherwood
That is actually a 100% scientifically proven fact too!!
Subha Mohan That's true.
There’s no doubt that home cooked food chicken sandwich will taste better than a fast food restaurants but also note that grocery stores chicken has additives and most likely not made from real chicken. Can Market Place do an episode on chicken from different grocery supermarkets
They did one on meat and such
I love that kid. He seems like a good, smart kid.
The chicken is rubbery
well of course IT WAS MICROWAVED AND WAS SITTING FOR HOURS
Should’ve placed them in different rooms. The results would’ve been more authentic. With all of them side by side, one can be influenced by the others’ opinions.
I actually like Subway a lot, and I go there regularly. There is a reason why, however, I never buy anything chicken-related on their menu; it always looked like those plant-based meat patties you'd find in the grocery store
I mean, I would naturally assume what I'm getting is the real deal. I work at a sandwich place now for another larger chain. From what I know being there, all the product is fresh. The meat is sliced daily, we get a supplier that brings in the vegetables, the only real thing that isn't is the bread, condiments (mustard(s) and mayo and possibly oil+vinegar) and cookies. The bread is frozen dough, but gets thawed out, stretched and then baked in the oven. The cookies are pre-made, frozen and let to thaw out. Basically everything for a sandwich is fresh and real from what I personally know and I'm in the US.
Subway got *EXPOSED*
First Jarod. Now their 🐔!
Yoga mat breads remember
And now they're suing!
A lot of Indian accents and they are known to be cheap.
as a truck driver, i have hauled the "tubs of chicken mix" that gets blended and pressed into a loaf by third parties before subway gets it, after seeing the tubs first hand, i would not touch subway with a 20 foot pole, i have seen bone fragments in the tubs
How can McDonald's have more chicken DNA than Subway?
Lol idk.
McDonald’s buys more chicken than other entity on the planet.
Mc dos always gets a bad name.
That's what I was saying especially those chicken nuggets 😂🤣
the villains are not always who you think they are.
Wow, u guys eat outside food that much. My mom won’t allow me to eat outside, instead she wakes up early and makes fresh food everyday. This is just she like to do and adores. I rarely eat outside food. After seeing this thing I just wanted to say I love my mother.
My mom has a job.
Your Mom is a very unique lady!
Where are you?
Eating out is or at least was fairly common in the USA and that is because it was rather cheap and obviously much easier than meal prepping at home. I've heard from several Americans that the portion sizes are advantageous because you would often go home with leftovers and fast food was quite cheap. You could eat a hearty meal for anywhere between 5 and 10 bucks. Prices for fast food in the USA are often even half the price they are in, say, Europe. It's also a cultural thing. Having dinner together or just cooking itself is much more common in other countries around the world because meals are not necessarily seen as a necessity but rather as an opportunity to come together with friends and family and to go over everyone's day and talk about what happened.
Lololol that kid got class. "I find mine a bit stringy".... Also they didn't SPOT the home cooked chicken wtf? Y'all legit told them which was which LOL
They didnt know there was one home cooked, but most did like that one the best
And what did Subway have to say?. Answer: "Eat fresh!!!!".
And hire child rapists to support thier brand
They are experts at LYING Millennials used to LOVE going there before the truth came out, Subways are closing now everywhere... no more line-ups!!!
Rubber, eat fresh! Motor oil, eat fresh! Clorox, eat fresh! Subway, eat trash!
no more like: "we gona sue!!!!1111"
@@TheSpritz0 well now subway back in the league so... LETS GO!!!!!
3:50 and then that crazy lady came into the store today, and asked me if it's frozen or fresh. I told her fresh, freshly removed from the freezer!
How dare they do a Chicken battle with out the colonel's KFC, we know they would have won that battle hands down. as they only use 100% real genetically altered chickens, with four legs and four wings.
LOL!!
But chickens do have 4 legs. Silly u.
jarry jayo whaaat 🤢😳
4 wings
HAHAHA!
Lmao course they do.
I have a soy protein intolerance, and I always used to get sick after eating Subway, but I always got chicken, I changed up the toppings thinking that was it, but this makes so many things add up
Wow ...thank u for the great survey and giving us knowledge
As SOON as I started to watch this, I guessed Subway would be the worst. My reason for that is because Subway was caught in the past, selling their multigrain buns, which were in fact, white bread with maple food colouring! So they have a history of this sort of crap. I stopped eating there when I learned that. Put it all together and Subway is one crooked business! I would have liked to hear the results for McDonalds, as my wife and I love their chicken. I am happy about Wendy's as my wife and I eat there. But, we rarely eat out, so honestly, it isn't as big an issue for us. We tend to make our own food at home, and I am glad we do now.
Their multigrain bread WAS multigrain. The maple food additive, as you say, was just added for color. Subway multigrain braid is vastly different than their white bread. It actually has multiple grains in it. Why spread a bunch of lies that are easily disproven by reading Subway's ingredient list?
The mcdonald's was 100% chicken. All of them were besides the 2 subway ones
well if you pay attention to their new commercials mcdonalds says "NOW made with 100% chicken" which started last year i believe. so good luck to you if you ate a lot of it before hand lol
Neil Roy good to know. I usually get a veggie at subway but the bread still weirds me out.
Uh, you think it is fresh? They even put some additives in the veggies to keep them looking fresh.
6:38 The kid has never held a fork in his hand before, and mom realizes it's being filmed! Omg!
Lol
Lmaooooo guess mom always has a break then
SO TRUE!
Let's not shame a child..o.k.?
No, hes switching hands. His dominate hand is his right. But table manners says you should always cut with you dominate hand. While eating with your non dominate. Kids dont have the same dexterity as teens/adults, and so they tend to switch between the 2 because theyre more comfortable that way. She probably hasnt been working with him much on the issue because people in general are not following table manners as often.
I used to wish for subway .. they add something to make it addictive. Since I stopped I haven't entered a subway for a real long time ..never even ordered it. Something was very addictive in it. I don't know what
It's funny how McDonald's had more chicken than "healthy Subway"
Duh *real chicken* doesnt have air bubble holes in the pieces
Finally, someone mentions it.
feel like KFC funded this study lol
Funny! I wonder what KFC's results would have been.
Or Chick-fil-A
I used to work for Chick-fil-A. We use fresh chicken breast, bread it in our batter, then pressure cook it in our pressure fryer, in peanut oil.
catlyana13 Chick-fill-free
FooBar Maximus fightin’ words.
3:59 Awww she so adorable, I love her “Going out” hat!
I trust A&W because it has never had a controversy. I also know that they donate to charity, and I just feel better about them.
Thats exactly why they make donations 😂😂🤣
video: * is in the middle of discussing if the chicken is real or not *
KFC Ad: this is the best white meat chicken you've ever seen! It's finger licking good.
me: but is it finger lickin real chicken? 🤔
HAHA!
I want to know why you didn't test Burger King. I think there is NO chicken in their chicken sandwiches.
there is also NO good food there period so why waste the time
Check mcd's
Dawson Foor check yourself before you wreck yourself
Right? No way is 10 chicken tenders $1.50.
Where does one buy a 'No Chicken' to put into a sandwich?
Made me realize I haven‘t been to mcdonalds for a year lol
On the bright side, Wendy’s passes with flying colours eh
That grandma was quite accurate tho
they would know the homemade chicken is homemade cause its warm since ron just made it OMG
That little maple leaf on that McDonald's M is so cool!
Absolutely love what these people re doing..
Idk why they take a 2 minute video and make it 22 minutes
ad profits
Joe Cioccio You have a shite attention span
Joe Cioccio youtube add revenue
My dude this is a tv show
lol DOES it matter. We eat at fast food knowing is bad anyways. Never once when I order a fast food I though about what's real and not. If I want a healthy meal I would cook at home which I do. Not sure what CBC made this video
I love CBC marketplace videos
?
Liz 😍😍😍
hey liz just reminding you it's been more than 2 years since your last upload in your channel :) it's about to become a dead channel and yet just randomly going on videos like this and leaving comments not giving a f about your subscribers :|
She has no obligation to her subscribers thought.
That reporter is GORGEOUS!!!
17:19 Those sodium products also cause obesity and damage the brain and nervous system.
LOL the ad during the video I got was Wendy's chicken sandwich
Admitedly, the scientist said that all the non-Subway chickens were mostly chicken. This video isn't so bad for Wendy's.
Pokechurin Nah, go to Chick-fil-a instead.
Dr. Headmass don't think we have chick fil a in Canada
*wE exPeCteD 100 pErceNt KickeN* 14:06
Lol
Brookie Kupec lmaoo
11:43 “kicken”
😂😂
Yea I remember trying the Oven roasted chicken at subway once and it was the most chewy, tasteless chicken I’ve ever had in my life.
Same with chicken from Chinese restaurants. I knew years ago that wasn’t chicken. I used to like the sesame chicken with rice but I haven’t eaten Chinese in about 11 years
@see ya I believe it. I just cook now I don’t eat food out other than pastries but actual meals I make myself.
So Wendy's doesn't have sodium phosphate in their meat ingredients lists, and as that scientist showed that's mostly used so food can retain moisture when frozen - when he mixed it up we saw it got kind of gelatinous. Wendy's marketing says "fresh not frozen" so I guess there's some truth in advertising, sometimes?
Wendy's chicken id frozen , grilled or not, the burger meat is not frozen , delivered every second day
it's frozen, my mom worked in Wendy's before and knew all about it.
I worked at Wendy's for 2 years ( not my mom cousin uncle on the left side of the family ) and deal with the delivery , all chicken and 90% of fries go in the freezer, the meat and the renaming fries in the fridge with the milk juice tomato etc... but that was 15 years go so maybe it as changed
Yeah the only wendy's stuff that isn't frozen is the burger meat. All the rest of the stuff is shipped from DC's frozen.
*There is a reason it is called* fast food
PATRICK STAR Yes, it's the speed of cooking. specifically the short time between ordering and serving. That doesn't justify selling a meatball as a solid peace of meat or meatsauce as potato.
Subway's chicken looked more akin to bread with grill marks
if you're concerned about your health, fast food shouldn't even be an option.
Anyone else craving fast food chicken burgers? Mmm...
I want Chick-Fil-A
Irena really liked the Wendy's sample, and guess what? That's her go-to fast food café.
I didn't learn much, I kept thinking what I would do to her if I had the chance
The Executioner Knock her teeth out
This show is the only redeeming factor of CBC
So... which one is the best fast-food chicken? They didn't bother mentioning the better ones?
The kid has a greater vocabulary than anyone on the panel. I do agree they should have been tested separately. The adult Male kept looking at the kid for affirmation after his opinion was way different than the others.
