Does McDonald's really put a pure form of sawdust into it's "shakes"?
Chemistry teacher said so, but I looked at the ingredient list on McDonald's website and couldn't find the chemical name. Why don't they call it a milk shake instead of a shake.-Nevermind I don't want to know.....
Answers:
Pure form of sawdust, eh? I think your chemistry teacher got his degree at Crackhouse University. That's the most horrendous thing I've read tonight!
First of all, trees cannot be digested by humans at all, and McDonalds would know better than to ruin their company with any kind of sawdust.
One of my classes said it was some sort of rock dust that they used, not sawdust. I can't remember which kind of rock though. I've never had a homemade milkshake taste like theirs, which is reason enough for me to not buy them! YUK.
I heard they put a filler in it, but it still has to be FDA approved as a food.
You're probably thinking about a vegetable substance that is used as a thickening agent. And, while your feeling nauseaus, you might look into the ingrediants in those hamburgers and chicken tenders!
Does this seriously warrant an answer? My answer is if you dont want to know what goes in to hot dogs, A&W Creme Soda and McDonalds milkshakes, dont ask. Just enjoy!
it doesnt matter, im not drinking them anyway, they have almost 1000 calories in some of them, thats enough to keep me away.
I don't really think so. Have you ever tasted wood? If that's the same taste as the shakes, well, that would be a porblem. It probably just looks likes sawdust because its really THICK.
Only on weekends
Well you need not to believe everything you hear. You only make a milk shake with two or three ingredents. Milk, ice cream and fruit. It can't be made frrom the pure form of sawdust because that would be wood, or a tree. Not a very good Chemistry teacher.
they put lots of thickening agents. If I remember correctly, they put fat in it to make it thicker and creamier- that's why it has 1000 kcal per serving.
it is heavy whipping cream milk and flavor syrup.
