Have you ever wondered why the Coke at McDonald’s tastes a whole lot better than what you get out of a can?

Sharing on his TikTok account, Michael Ryan, who claimed to be a former employee of McDonald’s, said that the restaurant is more than just your typical fast-food store because “they have so much science behind everything”.
Then he proceeded to spill some behind-the-scenes facts about the restaurant.
The first secret is why their soft drinks taste better than the ones available in groceries – and the answer actually lies in their straws!
“Your straw at McDonald’s is larger. Do you know why it’s larger?” said Michael.
“Because it lets more carbonation hit your tongue and makes the soda taste better,” the former staffer revealed.
Now we know why the Sprite at Maccas leaves us feeling more refreshed than what we might find at the servo!
And it’s not just their straws, according to Michael. He also claimed that McDonald’s is in a partnership with Coke to create a special syrup for their fast-food chains.
“That’s why their Coke has a little bit more sugar and a lot more flavour.”
But wait, there’s more, and these secrets aren't exclusive to Macca's range of drinks!. Michael also revealed a few little-known truths about their food.
The first is about the restaurant’s grilled chicken, which he claimed is “injected with a saltwater mixture”. According to Michael, this keeps the meat moist and flavourful at the same time.
The next fact is about Macca’s crowd-favourite chicken nuggets. Michael claimed that McDonald’s actually gets their supply of chicken nuggets from meat company Tyson, meaning that their nuggets are not that processed and are actually “private labelled”.
But if you’re still in doubt about their chicken nuggets, why not try making your own at home? This video below might help:

And the last secret he shared is about their infamous ice cream machine, which is known for breaking down most of the time.
Michael said that the ice cream machines only get cleaned once a week, and their soft serves are made from whole whipping cream.
