In a viral TikTok video, she exposed a common misconception of customers who claim they are allergic to pickles, but are really just looking for the complete removal of these ingredients from their burger.
What stands out is the little-known ingredient revealed: the Big Mac's special sauce contains a pickle relish. This means that even customers who don't want pickles on their burgers still want the signature flavor of this iconic sauce.
In the video, Ally Eley interprets a conversation with a fictional customer, in which he orders a Big Mac combo without pickles, claiming to be allergic and stating that eating a single pickle could be fatal. The former employee's answer is surprising: Big Mac's special sauce also contains pickles. She highlights the importance of removing the sauce to avoid risk to the customer.
That revelation sparked a split among McDonald's fans. Many sympathized with Ally Eley, criticizing the dishonesty of the customer who lies about allergies to ensure the pickles are taken away. On the other hand, some understand the frustration of customers who always receive the wrong order and resort to the tactic of claiming allergies to avoid problems.
For some fans, the big surprise was to discover that the Big Mac's special sauce is made with pickles. This information generated discussions and questions about the ingredients and formula behind this flavor so loved by consumers.
The Big Mac is an iconic hamburger from the McDonald's fast-food chain. It was created by McDonald's franchisee Jim Delligatti in 1967. Delligatti owned a franchise located in the city of Uniontown, in the state of Pennsylvania, in the United States.
He wanted to offer a bigger and tastier burger than the chain's traditional ones, so he developed a special recipe that consisted of two beef patties, lettuce, cheese, special sauce, onion and pickles on a sesame seed bun. The combination of these ingredients resulted in the famous Big Mac.
After its initial release, the Big Mac became extremely popular and was gradually introduced across the country and later around the world. It has become one of the most famous and iconic items on the McDonald's menu, enjoyed by millions of people in different countries. The Big Mac is known for its unique flavor and distinctive three-ply bread shape.
Today, the Big Mac is considered one of the best-known and most consumed hamburgers globally, and has become a symbol of pop culture and the McDonald's brand. It is often referenced in songs, movies, and other forms of media.
At the end of the day, this unusual revelation shows us that the experience of ordering a Big Mac can be full of surprises and reveals the importance of clear communication between customers and employees to ensure orders are placed correctly.
