Yeah! Whatever you do, never eat pretzels! They dip them in oven cleaner before baking, then they sprinkle them with those crystals they use for removing ice from roads!
Lye dipped pretzels are a thing! I didn’t know that thanks!
Lye-pickled fish is also a thing (lutefisk)!
I ran the McBroken data through the Spatial Equity Data tool. It found McDonalds are slightly overrepresented in white areas while locations with broken ice cream machines skew Black and low-income. https://twitter.com/MarkStosberg/status/1319363954385297411
If you're implying that McDonald's is somehow racist for failing to maintain ice cream machines in black areas, recall that it's mostly local staff who are responsible for that.

> I'm currently placing an order worth $18,752 every minute Do you have to have a cart in order query for broken machines? If not, why was it mentioned in the tweet?
Because it's hilarious to quantify and state. Why ask ridiculous questions?

What in the world is Teller? Are they an actual company with an actual product? The authentication demo on their website is the exact same as Plaid Link, down to the wording. There isn't even a sign up link or pricing page, but they've somehow raised 4 million dollars [1]. https://techcrunch.com/2020/01/27/teller/
The biggest problem, presumably just like Plaid, is that its institutionalized phishing tricking users into giving their online banking details to some 3rd party.

it is an order of one across every location.
It's funny that this is possible. An altruist could create an order for "give a cheeseburger to that one guy who hangs around outside every McDonald's".

Here's some detail, as someone that has worked with those machines before (internally and externally). In the good old days the soft serve and shake machines were taken apart every night and every piece was washed and bleach-sanitized by hand. Then it was reassembled in the morning. This would leave a lot of room for error and possible contamination in the process. And the sight of a shake machine hitting full pressu…
Cleaning these things was my second most hated job when I worked in the industry. But deep fryers are a far more dreadful task.
#1 hated task was cleaning the broiler.
#2 cleaning the shake machine

Since you and the OP are here, I have a random question: were the blizzards ever made with liquid plastic ingredients? It probably sounds insane, but someone from a plastics company spoke at my high school and said this was the case since it was easier to ship and needed no refrigeration. Now, decades later, I'm wondering if this was just complete nonsense or had an element of truth to it. I've been able to find noth…
Logically though, refrigeration based transport is not a concern for any fast food company. They use ingredients that absolutely must be transported cold, thus the cost of adding another menu item that must be shipped cold to that list is immaterial (even at scale).

> Ice cream, as a food that is very close to neutral in pH and without much in the way of preservatives, is a common source of listeria bacteria. Former Blue Bell Creamery CEO was recently charged with seven counts of conspiracy and fraud for not taking proper actions in regards to ice cream based listeria in 2015.
But their listeria just came from being licked?

And dihydrogen-monixide figures heavily in their production. Nearly everyone that's ever died had consumed DHMO in the 24 hours leading up to their death!
I prefer "oxidane" for this joke, as most people haven't heard it, sounds poisonous, and dihydrogen monoxide is not wrong but it is irregular.
