My mother never allowed me and my siblings to eat any kind of fast food growing up. She always cooked for us and was adamant we don’t eat out of the house (however my parents aren’t American maybe that’s why). But she did not permit any fast food, so even now at 22 I still never picked up the habit and I thank her for that.
Interestingly enough, we never ate fast food in the house either (asian) and I grew up wanting McDonalds all the time because I was so restricted from it lol. I just felt left out because all my friends would eat fast food but never us.
My old neighbor Maggie was born in Oklahoma in 1930. She was one of 13 kids. Her father was a dairy farmer. When she was 16 she went to a friend's house, and had a hamburger for the first time. Maggie was soooooo surprised, she didn't know you could eat cows because they only used their cows for dairy cows. She said her dad only killed one pig a year, and the rest of the time they ate mainly squirrels, opossums and racoons. Times sure were different then.
My family stopped eating fast food 2 years ago. It was really hard at first but the longer you don't eat it the less you crave it. I feel better without it and the bonus is that I lost 25 lbs. 😃
It's really gone downhill anyways. I never want it anymore. Like it's starting to taste really bad. I'll order pizza sometimes, but even those chains are changing vendors, so it is beginning to taste worse. So ur not missing anything buddy !!
I don't even remember how long it has been since I had fast food. I love cooking and with 5 kids cooking is way cheaper than fast food. And yes so much healthier with out.
@@funtimes7426 oh no when my kiddies were coming up, I always cooked, & if I had to eat out I would get Applebee's carside or something. I didn't want them getting hooked on nuggets.
When my dad passed in hospice. The only thing I could get him to eat at the end was White Castle burgers. I’d stop in every day and get them for him. Lord I miss that man. He was the best. ❤
When I was a hairstylist, in the 1970s, I worked in the salon that had the contract for doing Ronald Mac Donald’s wig. It arrived with a specific setting pattern and comb out instructions.🖤🇨🇦
@@anastasiamurawski6179 It really was. I got the job because I did wigs for the Vancouver Opera at the time. That is how serious they were about the wig always being exactly the same every time.🖤🇨🇦
Due to pregnancy complications, my mom was rushed to a hospital hours away from where we lived.I was delivered 2 1/2 months early. She was discharged before I was but was able to stay blocks away from the hospital via Ronald Mcdonald House. She said she was grateful because she had nowhere to go in the area. They didn't charge her a dime for staying there, but she said that they did have chores to complete in the mornings. I remember her expressing gratitude for RMH and it giving her the ability to still stay with me every hour of visiting every day until i could go home. 32 yrs later, she still has the RMH t-shirt they had given her.
I would love to see a Dark History episode about the history of the modeling industry. You can’t tell me that wouldn’t be dark AF Love you Bailey! You’re the bright spot in my week 😘
Fast food isn’t even affordable anymore! I feel guilty af anytime it is a rush night after school and give into fast food. But we were blessed with the help one time from the Ronald McDonald foundation via a RM house when my little was in the nicu- and the RM room in the nicu wing was so so helpful!!
I was going to comment about the same thing. I don't like McD's or BK. But my favourite A&W sandwich alone is over $8. A take-out "meal", at least in Canada, easily runs at least $12. My dad went to Dairy Queen for him and my mom the other day. He said that 2 cheeseburgers and 1 order of fries came to $21. I can go to an actual restaurant and have a better meal for about the same price as a fast food meal.
My grandma was part of the generation of housewives where it was embarrassing. But sadly after her husband died in a construction accident and stuck raising five kids alone she just didn't care what anyone thought anymore. Just as long as her kids were fed.
Honestly, that's all that matters at the end of the day. It's not easy being a parent in general, but being a single parent... let me tell you! I feel accomplished if my kiddo is clean, fed, polite, and has her homework done before bedtime. And I know that is considered the bare minimum for a lot of people, but depending on what you have going on that day, all you can pray for is that the house didn't burn down, the bills are paid, and there's groceries in the fridge. I commend your grandma for raising those 5 kids after losing her husband, especially at a time when working moms were looked down upon.
Honestly the only place (in my area at least) i can find truly authentic Mexican food is from a mexican-run business, whether its a food truck or a hole in the wall spot. I promise if you're anywhere in the south/south east you'll understand what i mean. And i don't know enough about Taco Bell, I dont eat there that much, but i 100% agree it is not authentic at all its like texmex style at best lol
Legit, I just got done eating McD's when I saw there was a new Dark History.... Didn't even bother to see what it was about...😢😂 I laugh so I don't cry 😂😢
I’ll never forget when WalMart started posting a banner of the McDonald’s menu eye-level to toddlers at the checkout. SO predatory and the temper tantrums were unreal! Does anyone know if they still do that?
Hey hey Bailey, just popping in to tell you: I swear I get smarter and better as a person with every Dark History video I watch. Love all you do, girl ❤
The back to school Door Dash sponsor made me wonder about #2 pencils. Why are they #2 and not #1? Why are they the only acceptable pencils for those bubble tests? I want a Dark History episode about this.
I thought it was because the grading machine (scantron?) was certain to recognize the darker pigment and reduce the errors in grading. I could be wrong and it’s another monopoly
a #1 pencil would be an HB pencil. then there's #2, 3, 4 5 & 6.. This is how hard they are. Then there are numbered B pencils. The B pencils get darker as they go up.
In AZ in the late 80’s and early 90’s Little Caesar’s also did the 30 mins or less. Our local one stopped bc they could never meet the 30 mins and my mom would order pizza every other week for Saturday dinner and our entire order would be FREE because she would call at 29 mins and 30 seconds and say, “they’re still not here, I want it free.” And they were obligated to waive everything. Lol. She ALWAYS tipped the drivers extremely well, but she was trying to make a point that the 30 mins or less was a very, very bad business decision.😂
Does anyone else plays Bailey's videos sometimes instead of a therapy session? The world makes us feel worthless, for her everything is in details ..magic !
Yes, but don’t ever forget that you are worth it and deserve having a licensed professional help you through the darker times! You matter and deserve the best that can be provided for you. While money can be a deterrent, there are options for low cost counselling when in dire need. Sending love to all of you ❤
Yeah they have a manufacturers flaw Built in to the machine so when it breaks the company that does the parts gets loads of money just from McDonald's alone
Its usually because it takes so long to clean them , or because they simply have not been cleaned because not all are trained to. When I worked there I wasn't trained to clean the machine and people would get so upset when it came time to do so, like so sorry I'm not going to serve you grossness and that when another employee finally does clean it it takes a bit to "reset" if you will. Its not clean it then boom ice cream... Think of it like a slushie machine if I can give you any kind of comparison though its not the best. You do want actual ice cream right?
@@TLL921yes, this. The machines are also not made to runall day every day without proper maintanance, of which most employees are not trained in. For instance the inner blade's rubber needs to be replaced monthly and is usually not. The rubber that protects the inner machinations need to be properly lubed every day and they most certainly are not. Then the process of cleaning is a hassle. It's not the companies fault, they just have a monopoly on the market so it appears shady.
I already loved you, now I love you more!!! THANK YOU for clearly stating that Taco Bell is not Mexican food, as a Mexican living in Europe and married to an English man, it's the constant joke about eating "Mexican food" in Taco Bell, I had to make homemade tacos when we started dating just to show him what real Mexican food is all about... now he knows 🤣🤣
Yesss girl. Now do shoes and clothes that are made with synthetic textiles and fibers that are linked to endocrine disruption and cancer. Of course blackrock, vanguard, have major stock in both industries. Really everything..our couches, mattresses, hygiene products, household products, car seats, car parts, rugs, etc etc
The short answer is YES. All synthetic materials leach off endocrine disrupting chemicals that are absorbed directly into your skin. Furthermore, they off-gas hazardous chemicals that you then breathe in, especially shoes. Multiply the synthetic materials you wear by the number of people in your office, the bus, and other public places and you begin to understand the high levels of infertility and cancers we all face in modern life.
Me watching this as I eat Taco John's. Fast food is a weird part of our system for sure, its quick, cheap and on every corner. Old dive bars with fast food windows like Windsteds or local burger places in the Midwest are a lot tastier, less processed food, I'm from Kansas I know. I have stayed in a ronald house, they really help for tough hospital times. Thank you once again Bailey keep educating the masses.
It’s so sad, I haven’t had fast food in recent years and intentionally avoid it now. Luckily where I live it’s a pain to get. Feel much better without it.
I used to live in the city and ate fast food pretty regularly. Sometimes more than once a day. I was heaviest at 240. Didn’t overeat and had a very active job. We moved to a small resort town where there is no fast food and anything we have is restaurant seating or one burger place that always has a super long line due to tourists. Naturally I wasn’t eating out anymore and dropped down to 165 in a year. Partly due to stress but I was still so surprised with how much I’d lost. Still go to the city for errands and occasionally will get fast food but now it makes me feel so sick any time I eat it.
I was waiting for you to talk about the birthday parties that McDonald’s used to do lol. In the 90s my mom used to have all our parties at McDonald’s lol. I don’t remember much about it but the cake. That birthday cake was boss. It’s such a crazy concept for me now though lol. I couldn’t imagine walking into McDonald’s to get lunch, only to see dozens of kids running around singing happy birthday. ⚰️😂
I remember that! My mom never did my birthday at McDonald's, she refused. We never did Chuck-E- Cheese birthdays either. I only experienced those birthdays when it was someone else's. My birthday is July 5th, and we always celebrated on the 4th because the family was together for the holiday, so I always had a very patriotic red white and blue birthday, with bbq and a sheet cake from Costco or the local grocery store. To this day, I refuse to celebrate my birthday with ribs and sheet cake. 😂😂😂
@@JulyMoon82I'm late June so mine is fairly patriotic as well 😂 I also hate sheet cake. Nothing is as unappetizing quite like a sheet cake that's somewhat melted in the summer sun.
Funny you mention the Birthday parties. My first job was McDs, I was Lead Birthday Crew..I hosted many many many kids Birthday parties, Saturdays were insane!
Hi Bailey! 😁 I've been fast food free for 6 months. It's saying the mantra, kinda, I don't eat fast food. It worked for me and I've never felt healthier. 😊✨💖✨ I also quit carbonated drinks, soooo, healthier stomach. Thanks for sharing another awesome and informative video 😊🤩😍😘😘😘💥
THIS!! I haven’t ate fast food in almost 3 months and have mostly drank water(i’ve had a few sips of a soda here and there) but honestly i feel so much better! I have more energy and have been in a better overall mood. It makes you realize just how bad fast food and sodas are for your body.
We are amongst so many things that are toxic and harmful for us literally every single day. Allowing your kid McDonald’s every now and then isn’t going to do more harm than some of just about everything else you have to do on a daily basis. Everything in moderation!
The way you described tearing up a McDonald’s meal with nuggets, way too much sauce and the oversized drink🤣🤣 I haven’t eaten McDonald’s in 6 months but I went last night after getting smacked and I really did realize what I had just done after tearing up 10 ketchup packets all around me
Bailey, could you do a let’s stop dark history before it happens in Lahaina Hawaii video? There is so much happening over there with developers trying to buy their land and take their culture away because of the fire. I feel like with your popularity you could reach out to the locals who watch you and see what they need. You definitely have power by numbers on your side to stop them from losing what makes them a beautifully unique place.
Love this Bailey! ❤️ It’s so true, and the health of a lot of American’s is affected by this. In so many different ways. Much love, and Thank you for all of your hard work. ❤️❤️
I personally really need you to do a dark history episode where you do the original scream Queens of Hollywood Halloween ( vampira, Elvira, Lily Munster, Morticia, etc.) !!!!!!!!!! I commented the same on TikTok!
it's so cool , my grandparents were one of the first paying customers at the first McDonald's , my family is from the LA/San Bernardino County area , and they lived in between Colton and SB . it's almost impossible to leave Cali with everything we grew around .
This reminded me of the book The Power of Habit, a chapter covers how fast food restaurants use triggers to create habit loops and keep people coming back, they also said the triggers were delicate though, so they can be broken.
Been laid up after knee surgery the past three weeks, and the only thing I have to look forward to is ✨Bailey’s videos ✨ How do I invite Bailey to my wedding? 😂
If you want a great example of an automat. in a movie. Watch a ‘touch of mink ‘with Doris day. Her friend works there and she gets free food and they talk in the window. Love it. It’s super funny.
For 13 years i walked past the location of the original White castle. I absolutely love this dark history, when i did research, these are the truths about the time in full too! Thank you Bailey! Always a treat to watch and listen every week.
You should do an episode on the history of hamburgers. It’s goes back a long time from meat being tenderized in a sack under a running horse, the the Hamburg steak eaten by hand in Hamburg Germany, then finally ends up in America.
YES1 I was hella confused why she was attributing the invention of the Hamburger to Wichita Kansas. lol It's called Hamburger ya know like Hamburg, Germany...🤔
Just had knee replacement surgery and stayed 2 weeks at a friend’s house in recovery. I asked her to NOT give me any sugar and it’s been 3 weeks since my last sugar intake. First time I was able to kick sugar.
Bailey girl you are so funny! I cried just listening to your show today. Not only did I get an education on fast foods the entertainment level of your shows is out of this world. Just keep it coming!
Love you Bailey, loved the 24/7 videos!! I stayed up a whole day just binge watching and enjoying episodes I had forgotten! What a great body of episodes!❤❤ thank you thank you for all of your hard work!!! Its so great to see your sassy awesome self again!!! I know you had some hard timrs, but we are always here for you! Love from Indiana!!❤❤😊
We didn't ban it completely in our household, but we do go months w.o getting anything. Besides now, they actually choose homemade burgers and homemade chicken tenders (which the latter is actually what I'm about to make 😂)
Bailey, it popped off in 1994 because I worked at McDonald's (or mchell as the employees called it) at that time 😂.....I loved your paid promo for doordash if it is allowed you should squeeze in a reminder to tip their drivers IMHO.
I love you so much I watch ur videos almost everyday and have been for almost 4 years now. On my truly worst days I know I can sit down and try to calm down by listening to you and me and my aunt watch u every week. I love you so much ❤❤❤
I saw a post suggesting you, Ms. Bailey Sarian, to do the Dark History of the FDA, and I can't un see it. I would absolutely love it if you do read this, and bring up the topic. I am a big fan of you and have been watching you for years! I would love to see your take on the FDA.
53:19 yes, yes we do! Lol we love you Bailey♥️ thank you for covering topics we wouldn’t know about otherwise! You are awesome! Also, you need to sell the dark history pjs as merch!! I want them!!
I absolutely love you I always have. Idk why but recently you’ve been putting background music and for me it’s just really distracting and I’m wondering if anyone else feels this way? I love listening to your voice it’s really calming and helps me focus on my chores or work whatever I’m doing. I love you ❤
You briefly touched on the food desert thing, and it's such a widespread issue. I work as a paramedic in one of lowest income counties in Missouri. Short of driving to the next county to go to Walmart, the only food options are McDonald's, Sonic, a handful of little Mom & Pop burger/pizza places, and grocery stores with poor quality food at higher prices. A vast majority of the population is overweight, and in very poor health. So much of this would at least be reduced by access to more healthy options like quality produce and meat that you're not gambling your digestive health away over.
My dad worked at a mill in our tiny town. Once a month he would drive 3 hrs to the closest McDonald's and buy like 60 hamburgers. He'd freeze them and bring them to work every day. We weren't allowed to touch them. Thus began my addiction to Macdonalds cheeseburgers. Imo the best thing on the menu 😂
I am to McDonald's at the moment. I hope she talks about Mearles's Drive-in that was in Visalia, California. They had a kitchen fire, shut down and ended up sold and just remodeled; After which they reopened under another name: The Habit Burger Grill (Drive-in)
Love you, girl. There's a show called The Food That Made America 🇺🇸 & it goes into how the fast food industry changed others. It's so wild. You're right though, those fries are freaking addictive. You're amazing 👏🏼 & I love you. Thank you for all you do.
I love this story because it is very inspiring and intuitive. Also very informative, especially coming from a classic background with a lot of elderly people who love McDonald’s and this is a very interesting insight to how it became so popular. Thank you for your stories.
It’s (or was) Grimace’s birthday!!! I don’t know if you’ve seen McDonald’s social media lately but he’s been posting all over it. Man I love Dark History.
as a picky eater, most of what i've eaten has been fast food... i never knew it was like this behind the scenes- thankfully i don't eat it every single day like i used to but those chicken nuggets don't have the same texture or taste anymore 😭(i'm currently 17, almost 18 but it's been like this since i was 6 🥲)
The more I learn about food in general in this country, the more I just wanna live somewhere where I can have a ton of land and be as self sufficient as possible. Like my dream is to have a driveway long enough to have its own road name. One day I'd love to see a revolution where we go back to growing our own food and farmers markets are the norm.
My mother never allowed me and my siblings to eat any kind of fast food growing up. She always cooked for us and was adamant we don’t eat out of the house (however my parents aren’t American maybe that’s why).

Maybe that'll eventually be the "solution" they'll price themselves out of the market/customer base. And lose broad appeal.

Fun fact: Sedona, Arizona holds the ONLY Turquoise McDonald's in the world because the yellow arches wouldn't mix in with the red rocks there.
Fabulous episode, as always. Now can you do one about the food pyramid we were all lied to about as kids?
When Fast Food Joints first came out, people ate there occasionally. These days, some people get all their meals at places like these
You could do a whole thing about how corrupt the companies behind the McDonald's ice cream machines are.
Yeah they have a manufacturers flaw Built in to the machine so when it breaks the company that does the parts gets loads of money just from McDonald's alone
Really I heard the workers just hate cleaning them so they say it’s broken
Its usually because it takes so long to clean them , or because they simply have not been cleaned because not all are trained to. When I worked there I wasn't trained to clean the machine and people would get so upset when it came time to do so, like so sorry I'm not going to serve you grossness and that when another employee finally does clean it it takes a bit to "reset" if you will. Its not clean it then boom ice cream... Think of it like a slushie machine if I can give you any kind of comparison though its not the best. You do want actual ice cream right?
😂😂😂😂
@@TLL921yes, this. The machines are also not made to runall day every day without proper maintanance, of which most employees are not trained in. For instance the inner blade's rubber needs to be replaced monthly and is usually not. The rubber that protects the inner machinations need to be properly lubed every day and they most certainly are not. Then the process of cleaning is a hassle. It's not the companies fault, they just have a monopoly on the market so it appears shady.
Everytime she says "But what about the children?" In her vids, it gets me everytime & I have to repeat it back in the same manner. Love u girl! ❤
I already loved you, now I love you more!!! THANK YOU for clearly stating that Taco Bell is not Mexican food, as a Mexican living in Europe and married to an English man, it's the constant joke about eating "Mexican food" in Taco Bell, I had to make homemade tacos when we started dating just to show him what real Mexican food is all about... now he knows 🤣🤣
Yesss girl. Now do shoes and clothes that are made with synthetic textiles and fibers that are linked to endocrine disruption and cancer. Of course blackrock, vanguard, have major stock in both industries. Really everything..our couches, mattresses, hygiene products, household products, car seats, car parts, rugs, etc etc
😮
The short answer is YES.
All synthetic materials leach off endocrine disrupting chemicals that are absorbed directly into your skin.
Furthermore, they off-gas hazardous chemicals that you then breathe in, especially shoes.
Multiply the synthetic materials you wear by the number of people in your office, the bus, and other public places
and you begin to understand the high levels of infertility and cancers we all face in modern life.
She already did
Me watching this as I eat Taco John's. Fast food is a weird part of our system for sure, its quick, cheap and on every corner. Old dive bars with fast food windows like Windsteds or local burger places in the Midwest are a lot tastier, less processed food, I'm from Kansas I know. I have stayed in a ronald house, they really help for tough hospital times. Thank you once again Bailey keep educating the masses.
It’s so sad, I haven’t had fast food in recent years and intentionally avoid it now. Luckily where I live it’s a pain to get.
Feel much better without it.
I used to live in the city and ate fast food pretty regularly. Sometimes more than once a day. I was heaviest at 240. Didn’t overeat and had a very active job. We moved to a small resort town where there is no fast food and anything we have is restaurant seating or one burger place that always has a super long line due to tourists. Naturally I wasn’t eating out anymore and dropped down to 165 in a year. Partly due to stress but I was still so surprised with how much I’d lost. Still go to the city for errands and occasionally will get fast food but now it makes me feel so sick any time I eat it.
I was waiting for you to talk about the birthday parties that McDonald’s used to do lol.
In the 90s my mom used to have all our parties at McDonald’s lol. I don’t remember much about it but the cake. That birthday cake was boss.
It’s such a crazy concept for me now though lol. I couldn’t imagine walking into McDonald’s to get lunch, only to see dozens of kids running around singing happy birthday. ⚰️😂
I remember that! My mom never did my birthday at McDonald's, she refused. We never did Chuck-E- Cheese birthdays either. I only experienced those birthdays when it was someone else's. My birthday is July 5th, and we always celebrated on the 4th because the family was together for the holiday, so I always had a very patriotic red white and blue birthday, with bbq and a sheet cake from Costco or the local grocery store. To this day, I refuse to celebrate my birthday with ribs and sheet cake. 😂😂😂
I had a couple Chuckie Cheese birthdays. 😅 Honestly I was in love with the ball pit.
@@JulyMoon82I'm late June so mine is fairly patriotic as well 😂 I also hate sheet cake. Nothing is as unappetizing quite like a sheet cake that's somewhat melted in the summer sun.
I remember touring a McDonalds as a kid for a field trip. 😂 It was really cool at the time. We all got free ice cream at the end.
Funny you mention the Birthday parties. My first job was McDs, I was Lead Birthday Crew..I hosted many many many kids Birthday parties, Saturdays were insane!
I haven't eaten McDonalds or Burger King in years. Their food is barely food and started making me feel sick when I would eat it, so I stopped.
Hi Bailey! 😁 I've been fast food free for 6 months. It's saying the mantra, kinda, I don't eat fast food. It worked for me and I've never felt healthier. 😊✨💖✨ I also quit carbonated drinks, soooo, healthier stomach.
Thanks for sharing another awesome and informative video 😊🤩😍😘😘😘💥
THIS!! I haven’t ate fast food in almost 3 months and have mostly drank water(i’ve had a few sips of a soda here and there) but honestly i feel so much better! I have more energy and have been in a better overall mood. It makes you realize just how bad fast food and sodas are for your body.
@@vanna_01 exactly 🥰✨🌞✨
My 8 year old walked in and heard McDonald's! Guess what we are having for dinner? Thanks Bailey 😂
You completely missed the point of this video. 🤦
Enabler!!!
@@sschreck08
We are amongst so many things that are toxic and harmful for us literally every single day. Allowing your kid McDonald’s every now and then isn’t going to do more harm than some of just about everything else you have to do on a daily basis. Everything in moderation!
You have a point. Sorry .
@@alwaysalady2217
Joan is literally always bringing it
The way you described tearing up a McDonald’s meal with nuggets, way too much sauce and the oversized drink🤣🤣 I haven’t eaten McDonald’s in 6 months but I went last night after getting smacked and I really did realize what I had just done after tearing up 10 ketchup packets all around me
Bailey, could you do a let’s stop dark history before it happens in Lahaina Hawaii video? There is so much happening over there with developers trying to buy their land and take their culture away because of the fire. I feel like with your popularity you could reach out to the locals who watch you and see what they need. You definitely have power by numbers on your side to stop them from losing what makes them a beautifully unique place.
Agreed
I actually did go to an auto-mat on a class trip to New York when I was 7 years old. It was the bomb!!!!!!!!! You are bringing the memories Bailey. 😭
I would die to go to one. Aaaaaah what luck
The Happy MealsToys were actually interactive and great, when I was a kid! Not nearly same in today's Happy Meals. 😩😩😩😩
Yeah the McDonald's creators would be rolling over in their Graves if they saw where it is now
Love this Bailey! ❤️ It’s so true, and the health of a lot of American’s is affected by this. In so many different ways. Much love, and Thank you for all of your hard work. ❤️❤️
I personally really need you to do a dark history episode where you do the original scream Queens of Hollywood Halloween ( vampira, Elvira, Lily Munster, Morticia, etc.) !!!!!!!!!! I commented the same on TikTok!
Yaaaaaaas!
OH I LOVE THAT IDEA.
Please ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Please????
Thank you for sharing how these corporations are really destroying our health
Love you Bailey 💕💕💕💕
it's so cool , my grandparents were one of the first paying customers at the first McDonald's , my family is from the LA/San Bernardino County area , and they lived in between Colton and SB . it's almost impossible to leave Cali with everything we grew around .
This reminded me of the book The Power of Habit, a chapter covers how fast food restaurants use triggers to create habit loops and keep people coming back, they also said the triggers were delicate though, so they can be broken.
Been laid up after knee surgery the past three weeks, and the only thing I have to look forward to is ✨Bailey’s videos ✨
How do I invite Bailey to my wedding? 😂
Maybe IG?
@@c0athanger hm, I’ve tried DMing before but I could try again!
If you want a great example of an automat. in a movie. Watch a ‘touch of mink ‘with Doris day. Her friend works there and she gets free food and they talk in the window. Love it. It’s super funny.
French Fries are LIFE!!!! 🍟 thank youuuuu
For 13 years i walked past the location of the original White castle. I absolutely love this dark history, when i did research, these are the truths about the time in full too! Thank you Bailey! Always a treat to watch and listen every week.
You should do an episode on the history of hamburgers. It’s goes back a long time from meat being tenderized in a sack under a running horse, the the Hamburg steak eaten by hand in Hamburg Germany, then finally ends up in America.
YES1 I was hella confused why she was attributing the invention of the Hamburger to Wichita Kansas. lol It's called Hamburger ya know like Hamburg, Germany...🤔
😳😳😳
@@AboveTheCloutshaha yes! Like when she said hamburger in a German accent at the beginning I was like girl, because that’s what it is! 🤣
@@AboveTheCloutsthe meat wasn’t sandwiched in Germany, according to an article I just read 💀💀 no one knows who sandwiched the meat patty.
@@evieo4153 hahaha ikr I was like maybe she's teeing it up? 🤷♀
Just had knee replacement surgery and stayed 2 weeks at a friend’s house in recovery. I asked her to NOT give me any sugar and it’s been 3 weeks since my last sugar intake. First time I was able to kick sugar.
Congratulations 💖
You know what? I absolutely love you Bailey! Im having such a hard time atm and you always make me smile and laugh! Thank you for everything you do ❤
How can you not love Bailey, her story telling is engaging, informative and entertaining, way to go Bailey♥️🥰♥️🙏🏼♥️
Bailey girl you are so funny! I cried just listening to your show today. Not only did I get an education on fast foods the entertainment level of your shows is out of this world. Just keep it coming!
Love you Bailey, loved the 24/7 videos!! I stayed up a whole day just binge watching and enjoying episodes I had forgotten! What a great body of episodes!❤❤ thank you thank you for all of your hard work!!! Its so great to see your sassy awesome self again!!! I know you had some hard timrs, but we are always here for you! Love from Indiana!!❤❤😊
The amount of love I and many millions have for you is incredible. You're amazing. Keep doing what you're doing ! ❤️😍
Thank you so much for these dark history videos. This is my favorite so far as I’ve called it McDeath for more than a decade now.
I outlawed fastfood for my daughter and I back in 2020... no regrets!!
We didn't ban it completely in our household, but we do go months w.o getting anything. Besides now, they actually choose homemade burgers and homemade chicken tenders (which the latter is actually what I'm about to make 😂)
Smart! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@_RavishingRaven_We make them here too in the UK! My husband even bakes the burger buns himself 👌
@@EJLJ19 Yes, I make Schlotzsky's sourdough buns. 6 big sandwiches at home for the price of 1 at the drive thru.
@@_RavishingRaven_ We just finished having homemade burgers.
Bailey, it popped off in 1994 because I worked at McDonald's (or mchell as the employees called it) at that time 😂.....I loved your paid promo for doordash if it is allowed you should squeeze in a reminder to tip their drivers IMHO.
I want a 10-hour compilation of just Bailey laughing. I swear, it's like Prozac for the soul 😅😊😂❤
Yep even in Australia, the machines are always " not working, or is " being cleaned. Especially on hot days.
oh Bailey, you don’t even know how happy i am that you covered this topic 😩
Bailey is always giving me hair and makeup inspo. We love you, Bailey!
I love you so much I watch ur videos almost everyday and have been for almost 4 years now. On my truly worst days I know I can sit down and try to calm down by listening to you and me and my aunt watch u every week. I love you so much ❤❤❤
I saw a post suggesting you, Ms. Bailey Sarian, to do the Dark History of the FDA, and I can't un see it. I would absolutely love it if you do read this, and bring up the topic. I am a big fan of you and have been watching you for years! I would love to see your take on the FDA.
16:00 not me being st0n3d af, doing my makeup and now craving white castle 😭🤤
I'm about to roll a jay! Happy high! Lol
I imagine as were watching this right now Bailey is already back to work, studying already. Love her
I do feel so smart and informed after all your videos you’re the best!!!
53:19 yes, yes we do! Lol we love you Bailey♥️ thank you for covering topics we wouldn’t know about otherwise! You are awesome!
Also, you need to sell the dark history pjs as merch!! I want them!!
I absolutely love you I always have. Idk why but recently you’ve been putting background music and for me it’s just really distracting and I’m wondering if anyone else feels this way? I love listening to your voice it’s really calming and helps me focus on my chores or work whatever I’m doing. I love you ❤
I didn’t notice until you said and now it’s really annoying me 😂
I noticed a few videos ago and thought the same thing, it’s such a minor change but super distracting to me too. Still love her videos though : )
I don't like it, but I know a lot of creators do it
Huh, I didn't even notice until I saw your comment. Doesn't bother me, but now I'm wondering when it started
You briefly touched on the food desert thing, and it's such a widespread issue. I work as a paramedic in one of lowest income counties in Missouri. Short of driving to the next county to go to Walmart, the only food options are McDonald's, Sonic, a handful of little Mom & Pop burger/pizza places, and grocery stores with poor quality food at higher prices. A vast majority of the population is overweight, and in very poor health. So much of this would at least be reduced by access to more healthy options like quality produce and meat that you're not gambling your digestive health away over.
Very comprehensive, Bailey. Thanks for all your hard work.
Did Bailey just uncover the origin of the "broken" milkshake/ice cream machine curse? 😂
My dad worked at a mill in our tiny town. Once a month he would drive 3 hrs to the closest McDonald's and buy like 60 hamburgers. He'd freeze them and bring them to work every day. We weren't allowed to touch them. Thus began my addiction to Macdonalds cheeseburgers. Imo the best thing on the menu 😂
Interesting. I make burgers at home to mimic the tiny hamburger with onions. Yum
We still have “automat’s” in the Netherlands. It’s called FEBO. In the automat are snacks like croquet, frikandel, cheese soufflé etc. 🤤
Bailey you are my absolute favorite person. Hanging with you would be off the hizzle. All my love from New Zealand ❤❤❤
Listening to this at work. ❤ love getting educated on company's time.
😂
Loved your GRWM video on here, on the actual TH-cam channel! Never can get enough of your makeup videos!
I am to McDonald's at the moment. I hope she talks about Mearles's Drive-in that was in Visalia, California. They had a kitchen fire, shut down and ended up sold and just remodeled; After which they reopened under another name: The Habit Burger Grill (Drive-in)
Loved this episode! I am so grateful for Bailey and her team!
Love you, girl. There's a show called The Food That Made America 🇺🇸 & it goes into how the fast food industry changed others. It's so wild. You're right though, those fries are freaking addictive.
You're amazing 👏🏼 & I love you. Thank you for all you do.
I love that show
I love listening to your videos while working. I'll laugh out of nowhere hella loud and people look at me like I'm a psychopath. Much love!
I’m literally on door dash ordering fast food and you pop up telling me no🤣🤣🫶🏻🫶🏻I love you Bailey!!
It was too late for me... I already went through a drive thru today 😂
@@erika2m16it’s okay I still ordered Arby’s 🫣
For a sense of real irony, one of Bailey’s sponsorships in this vid is DoorDash. 🤣
Your energy in this video made getting ready for work actually fun. You never fail to make me laugh, love ya!
I love this story because it is very inspiring and intuitive. Also very informative, especially coming from a classic background with a lot of elderly people who love McDonald’s and this is a very interesting insight to how it became so popular. Thank you for your stories.
Bailey, please do a Dark History on Jameson whiskey and Jamison’s love for cannibalism.
What?! Eeek! 😬
I'm sorry, what?? Yeah, I need to hear about this
I’m getting ready for work rn and hear my phone vibrate and got soooo mf happy😊 always make my day seeing your name!!!
I loved this vid so much!! So informative, I love burgers and getting some history on them is great!! Keep up the excellent work!!! Ily Bailey!!!!
It’s (or was) Grimace’s birthday!!! I don’t know if you’ve seen McDonald’s social media lately but he’s been posting all over it.
Man I love Dark History.
as a picky eater, most of what i've eaten has been fast food... i never knew it was like this behind the scenes- thankfully i don't eat it every single day like i used to but those chicken nuggets don't have the same texture or taste anymore 😭(i'm currently 17, almost 18 but it's been like this since i was 6 🥲)
whats the picky eater issue is it just texture troubles or what? are you autistic
Aaah…the one thing I’m currently trying to avoid. 🤣 Can’t wait to watch this one! Thanks for the vid today! 💜💜💜
The more I learn about food in general in this country, the more I just wanna live somewhere where I can have a ton of land and be as self sufficient as possible. Like my dream is to have a driveway long enough to have its own road name. One day I'd love to see a revolution where we go back to growing our own food and farmers markets are the norm.
The key is to go to another country where food is less processed 😅
Love looking forward to seeing what Joan will be wearing 😂 and as always love your videos 🫶🏻
Love your videos Bailey !!!! ❤️❤️❤️ do a dark history on commercials . So random but interesting 🧐
