Let's think everything's you're beginning people.

Welcome to watch Mojo.

And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10.

Dark facts about fast food places.

Two weeks.

French fries from a regular restaurant, two weeks french fries from McDonalds restaurant.

I'm pretty sure you you know what you're paying for when you come to Taco Bell.

If you want real beef, you probably go somewhere else for this list.

We're looking at unsavory stories, and behind the scenes details about your favorite fast food chains will be focusing on lesser known facts that relate to food preparation and public perception.

Warning.

This gets gross.

Which fast food franchise do you trust most?

Let us know in the comments below Number 10 Pink slime.

It's said to be the entire chicken eyes, guts bones ground up into something called mechanically separated poultry.

Not us, says McDonald's photo hoax.

But pink goo won't go away.

Also known as pink goo lean, finely textured beef, or lftb, is a meat byproduct that's gotten a lot of unfavorable publicity.

Then again, when the FDA approves a product for quote limited human consumption, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Pink slime is a paste made by removing low grade leftover beef trimmings and removing the fat.

Its economic fraud.

It's not.

It's not fresh ground beef.

It's a substitute.

It's a cheap substitute being added in because pink slime is more at risk for E.

Coli and salmonella.

It's commonly treated with ammonia, leading to bands in Canada and the European Union.

Tasty, right?

This is a practice that is openly sort of admitted to being in a least 70% of ground beef products.

Despite the uproar that kicked off around 2011 pink slime is still widely used as filler, including at many fast food joints.

In fact, in 2018 it was reclassified in the US as simply ground beef.

Number nine.

Fast food restaurant logos trick you into feeling hungry.

I'm trying to Scott Mills, just $6 Say Cactus Jack, since you fast food is usually pretty inexpensive by definition, but those meals add up to massive profits right now with Burger King, get 10 chicken nuggets for just a dollar.

99.

No, wait.

Is that really right?

Yeah, it says it right there.

A dollar.

99 10 Nuggets Limited time only when a business operates on the scale of McDonald's or Burger King.

A comparably massive budget is allocated to marketing, including consumer psychology.

Now take a look at all these logos.

Notice anything.

They all employ similar color schemes, with red being the most dominant color.

Studies have shown that Red is stimulating as to whether this translates to hunger that remains up for debate.

Color is just one of many tactics that companies use to connect with their customers.

And if swearing off fast food wasn't already hard enough, those colorful red logos might make it even harder to ignore.

Regardless, major fast food chains seem to have bought into the idea.

Diving deeper red seems most effective when paired with yellow, which is said to promote feelings of comfort and happiness.

The principle is referred to as the ketchup and mustard theory.

Number eight Poop soda Anyone?

Consumers have a morbid curiosity when it comes to gross flavors.

Just look at the success of Bernie Bots, every flavor beans made by jelly belly.

Or how about when Nathan Fielder used poop flavored frozen yogurt to promote a local business?

It was a success, and, like I predicted, the store was full, and in the world of business, that's all that matters.

Sadly, the poop soda that we're referring to is not an intentional marketing ploy.

It's contamination.

That's right.

Soda fountains, air serving up more than a combination of fizzy water and sugary flavored syrup.

A 2010 study conducted in Virginia found fecal matter in nearly half of all samples taken well.

One waken get in is if you're filling up the soda and you actually inadvertently touch.

So this is somebody Employees went to the bathroom.

Didn't wash their hands Exactly.

I don't wanna think about where people's hands have been before.

They served the soda and before you blame the customers, this was true of both self serve fountains and the ones behind the counter.

Based on similar studies, this isn't an isolated incidents.

Number seven.

Well, lubed salad.

One little bottle of spermicidal lube.

Evan.

It's psycho shit, man.

It's not.

It's like Charles Manson Shit.

Lubricant has many worthy applications, like keeping our cars running.

But while oil is a type of lubricant in olive or vegetable oil, are common ingredients and salad dressing.

We still don't want Lubin our salad so if you only have a second hurry, the Wendy's for solid.

They're fresh, fast and ready to go.

Have a nice day when you make the healthy choice at a fast food joint.

Those leafy greens, maybe topped with propylene glycol.

Don't remember seeing that product on the shelves of your local grocery store.

US.

Neither.

Propylene glycol is used in antifreeze and personal sexual lubricants.

Everything's gotta be clean, crisp and tasty.

It also works as a moisture preserver and an anti caking agent.

It's been deemed safe for consumption, but that doesn't necessarily make it appetizing.

I mean, it's fresh when you get it.

It's fresh when I pop it in my mouth.

It's like having somebody come in your own kitchen to make you a salad.

Oh, and it's used in more than just the salads, including Big Mac sauce.

Number six.

The Beef with Taco Bell.

Taco Bell McDonalds is constantly having to re assert that it's burgers are made from 100% real beef with quote, no fillers, additives or preservatives.

Taco Bell, on the other hand, would probably rather not talk about it.

Ground beef made from 88% beef just doesn't have the same ring to it.

12% isn't abysmal.

Grade on a test.

But when it represents the other mysterious ingredients in your taco beef, it feels very high.

Okay, get any worse.

You don't ask.

Just just smile.

Smile.

Taco Bell was hit with a class action lawsuit back in 2011 prompting the fast food chain to describe the 12% as quote seasonings, spices, water and other ingredients that provide taste, texture and moisture.

The lawsuit accuses Taco Bell of misleading advertising.

Sorry, my mouth is full, the lawsuit says.

Internally, Taco Bell doesn't call this beef.

It calls it taco meat filling.

The defense start strong, but it's the other ingredients, like sodium phosphates and potassium chloride, that are less persuasive.

I'm pretty sure you you know what you're paying for when you come to Taco Bell.

If you want real beef, you probably go somewhere else.

Number five Oil Salt and dimethyl policy.

Allison.

Well, that's certainly mouthful were surprised.

It's not in the Taco Bell ground beef.

An anti foaming agent dimethyl policy Allison or P.

D.

S.

M is used in fast food joints around the world.

If there's a deep fryer.

Chances are that PDS M is on the ingredients list.

Its purpose is to stop the vats of hot oil from foaming up when the food goes in.

We can appreciate the value of such an additive, especially from a safety perspective.

So bring your appetite.

Bring everybody for our 20 piece Chicken McNuggets to 99 everyday.

Anyone who's deep fried at home knows all too well the stress of the pot bubbling over The thing is that dimethyl police Allison is a type of silicone that is used in various cosmetics and silly putty, none of which we wanna put in our mouths.

What stretches and stretches Silly Putty.

What picks up pictures from a newspaper and makes them silly and if you stretch it even sillier.

Silly Putty Number four Taco Bell was founded on allegedly stolen recipe.

This is obviously a pretty damning accusation, so we'd like to preface this entry by saying that we're just stating what's been reported by other outlets, such as The New York Times.

We're putting our reputation.

Let's think everything's beginning people, According to eater Los Angeles, there would perhaps be no Taco Bell had it not been from metal, a cafe in San Bernadino.

Should we tell him about these?

Absolutely not.

This local favorite, owned and operated by Lucy A.

And Salvador Rodriguez, sold 10 cent hard shell tacos Dorados that people couldn't get enough of.

Taco Bell founder Glen Bell, then in the business of hot dogs and hamburgers, apparently befriended the couple and earned their trust to the point that he was allowed into the kitchen.

So in 1962 Glenn, who's a genius, opened a restaurant serving tacos for just 19 cents, and he called it Taco Bell.

Armed with the Rodriguez recipe, he launched his Taco Empire, giving no credit to meet Le Cafe Number three Bread, flatbread, rap or yoga mat.

Sounds like a great sandwich sandwich that was just the bread.

Great Bread makes a delicious sandwich.

Subway is an empire built on the promise of providing healthy choices.

But few people want those choices to include consuming a chemical.

Also found in yoga mats and other foamed plastics subways.

Use of the chemical azo dye Carbonneau mind and bread came under fire in 2014 in response to an online petition from Food Babe blogger Vani Hari Hari has been widely criticized for peddling pseudo science on her blogged.

But there is debate about the compound, which has been banned as a food additive in Australia and the U.

What is this chemical we're talking about?

Kate The chemical is called azo dye Carbonneau MyDD, and it's used to make the bread stronger to strengthen the bread and subway says Hey, it's safe.

And they point out that the Food and Drug Administration says that it's safe.

But Subway says that they're removing it as part of their bread improvement process.

Under pressure, Subway removed it from their ingredients, but you probably still eat it because it's used in many breads, pastries, pizzas and other doughy foods.

After all, if the bread tastes better, the sandwich will to subway the way a sandwich should be.

Number two, The rial story behind the hot coffee lawsuit Stella Lebec spill just eight ounces of coffee, but she attracted a flood of attention.

The history of fast food and consumer protection is rife with wild and crazy legal battles, but there's perhaps no case mawr infamous than this one.

As many people have said, you shouldn't have to warn customers that coffee is hot.

What's next?

Labeling water is wet.

The thing is, people rarely get into specifics of the incident.

When 79 year old Stella Lee back spilled McDonald's coffee on herself in 1992 her injuries were horrific.

They resulted in third degree burns, eight days of hospitalization, skin grafts and two years of follow up medical treatments.

Stella tried to get McDonald's to settle.

She even agreed to mediation.

But McDonald's wouldn't budge.

They gave her no choice but to go to court.

The issue wasn't that the coffee hadn't been labeled is hot, but rather that it was served to her at somewhere between 181 190 F.

That is 30 degrees hotter than the coffee you brew at home.

The details were so alarming the jury awarded Lee back $160,000 in compensation, and they added $2.7 million to punish McDonald's.

Before we unveil our topic, here are some honorable or, in this case, dishonorable mentions.

There's a lot more in that she's been dairy.

The cheese at most fast food restaurants is heavily processed.

The tempting taste of McDonald's alluring quarter pounder with cheese ed fries and a Coke for an irresistible deal.

Burgers that won't rot.

This has been shocked up to a lack of moisture, but it's still unnerve Ing.

This hypothesis is, is that the burgers are so full of preservatives that they stopped the growth of microbes.

But the reality is it's just dried out.

Microbes don't grow on it for the simple reason it lacks moisture.

Your fries might not rot, either.

McDonald's french fries in particular show little change over time.

Two weeks.

French fries from a regular restaurant two weeks.

French fries from McDonalds Restaurant.

Ammonium sulfate.

It's commonly used in fertilizer and some fast food, hamburger buns and breads.

Yummy sand Silicon dioxide, a component of sand, is used as a fast food anti caking agent.

Number one.

Arby's Meet mishaps.

This fast food chain has got a great selection of items on their menu.

It's time to pick your 246 faves.

You crave smokehouse, brisket, divine and don't even get us started on their mouth watering roast beef sandwiches from chicken and beef to their sliders, loaded fries and other tasty sides.

Arby's knows what their customers want, but they should really leave the human meat to Dr Lecter.

Back in 2012 Michigan native Ryan Heart was more than halfway through his junior roast beef sandwich when he found a part of an employee's finger with his teeth.

She was treated at a hospital.

The boy had a blood test and got some medication.

Arby's is calling it an isolated incident.

Sadly, this wasn't the company's first offensive.

In 2004 on Ohio, Man found a nearly inch long piece of skin in his sandwich.
