Why Your Vanilla Shake From McDonald's Might Taste A Little Off
By Elaina Friedman
According to a TikTok confession from former McDonald's employee Dessy Joseph, McDonald's shakes can take on syrup from other flavors that haven't been cleared out of the machines.
If you've ordered a chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry shake that tasted like bananas, Froot Loops, or something else, you might be getting a taste of a limited-time flavor.
Joseph explained on TikTok, "Why sometimes this happens is because the shake machine will pour out a little bit of the previous flavor before it pours the new flavor."
She added, "Sometimes, you'll order a vanilla shake, and you'll see the bottom is a little bit green because it's Shamrock Shake season."
