Did you hear the one about a finger appearing in a cup of Wendy's chili?
Rumors about fast food crop up all the time, from where chains source their ingredients to how food is served.
We dug up some of the most persistent rumors about fast food, and shed some light on what's fact and what's fiction, so you can rest easy next time you pull up at the drive-thru.
McDonald's milkshakes are made with animal fat
FICTION
A prominent rumor on the web is that McDonald's milkshakes are made with reconstituted animal fat.
This is fiction. Though this rumor might seem believable, given each milkshake contains as many as 560 calories, nowhere in any of the chain's lists of ingredients for milkshakes is animal fat listed.
Kentucky Fried Chicken does not actually contain chicken
FICTION
Whether or not KFC is using "chicken" in the fast-food chain's recipes is called into question on a number of websites.
A website claims Kentucky Fried Chicken became KFC to conceal a government mandated name change after the "organisms" used by the chain as a source of meat could no longer be considered chickens.
It goes on to allege the genetically modified birds have no beaks, feet or feathers.
This is fiction. In KFC's Ingredient Guide, the company lists chicken, indicating no such name change was mandated. And the name change had nothing to do with ingredients sourced by the company.
In-N-Out Burger prints bible citations on cups and wrappers
FACT
Most companies shy away from any religious affiliation, but one west coast fast-food chain is rumored to print the gospel on cups and wrappers.
This is a fact. In-N-Out Burger prints bible citations (like John 3:16) on wrappers.
