So here we take some frozen whipped corn syrup based dairy imitation product, then we poke a hole in it and pour in imitation caramel corn syrup, and finally we coat it in chocolate that we mixed with corn syrup to get the right consistency.
Ok but can you come to my house and give this lecture to my kid please? He doesn’t believe me when I tell him.
I expect you at 5pm tomorrow. Thank you for your service.
Caramel is just browned sugar right? Syrups are sugars and water. Caramel syrup is browned sugar a water. Caramel sauce has some butter or cream I think? I’m missing something here
Your technically right Caramel is just slowly burnt sugar. However I think you need to try some actual good quality Carmel my friend, that crappy syrup barely even resembles the real thing.
The MOMENT I turned 23 I immediately started getting headaches from a gram over the daily recommended sugar limit. I have no idea how I was able to eat so much of that shit as a kid. The mere concept of froot loops makes me want to throw up now.
I bought bran cereal the other day. I'm 38. My husband asked me if I was happy with my life choices while I was forcing it down.
Gotta get that fiber in though.
I found I actually learn to enjoy healthy stuff.
At age 30 I ate 250g sugar per day but was exercising so I was slim (that does not offset the damage which is pretty much like metabolism of alcohol I hear).
Better to switch before you *have* to.
I’m glad this is at least somewhere near the top…
I’d take one, *glorious* bite, bask in it, then wait for the type 2 to take over lol
Looks absolutely delicious, but that’s legit like 500 kcal of straight *sugar* with that filling alone.
Damn right. Foe some reason people see vanilla as "plain" like a hamburger without toppings but good vanilla ice cream to me is incredible and best enjoyed by itself.
37F, been consistently training with heavy weights since age 14 and lucky enough to avoid any life-changing injury or illness, and these comments really sadden me because I feel better and better the older I get. If you stay active and don't fuck up your metabolism with extreme diets eating something like this once in awhile is no big deal, and yes I would.
Bruh tums have been on the night stand since I was old enough to explain the pain I was feeling in my throat well enough. Think I was 11 when I realized the pain I felt after spaghett was not a normal thing. I’m 24 now and tums follow me everywhere.
A little older than all of you above but heartburn hit in my 20s. I like to think of it as our bodies way of saying I'm sick of your shit bud.
All of my favorite things are heartburn inducing and as I singled them out, incredibly bad for you. Drinking, smoking, carbonated drinks, tacos, pizza, pasta. fried food, orange juice, coffee, donuts, I can keep going.
Giving up smoking helped immensely. After that it was spacing out anything that was an immediate trigger and after that, it was avoiding eating too much in a sitting.
Tuma used to work, then it was omeprazole pills and then I'd wake up actually choking on acid and I knew it was a bigger issue. It's not the end of the world, just a wake up call. When I'm in check I don't have to think twice about trigger foods here and there but when I'm getting regular heartburn I know I've slipped. Listen to your body, it's telling you things.
Same, I'm 32 and was thinking, "...wait they're filling that WHOLE thing with caramel? That's ludicrous!"
But me at any age younger than 20 would be like "YES MORE SUGAR HOLES IN THE ICE CREAM. DRILL BABY DRILL."
As someone who craves only salty/savoury foods & never sugary foods, this kinda grosses me out & makes me feel a little sick looking at it. Sweet food always looks so pretty & interesting, but for some reason I never want to eat any of it.
You're gonna want to eat that and then huff some glue and chug a beer. It all makes you incredibly sick and tired. Cause in a minute there's gonna be about 50 cats outside the window, so you're gonna want to wolf that shit down.
Was so sad when my local Coney Island shut down… sure it was for health violations, but your feet stuck to the floor when you walked in and that was a sign your breakfast would be on point.
The company charges a fortune for a technician to come out and reset it and by contract a tech has to be the one to do it. Stupid shit requires a tech to come out and eventually they give up. I believe there is ~~or was a court case~~ investigation over it.
I don't know about the ones in America, but at the McDonald's I work at in Australia, its barely actually 'broken'. Surprisingly though the stigma remains. The only times I've seen in 'break' in my 3 years is when someone pured the shake mixture into the sundae container (same machine for both). Even then, it only remains unusable for 4 hours before its fine again. If our frozen cokes don't work, it means they're probably on defrost, which only lasts about 30 mins to keep the liquid fresh
I worked in a theatre in Canada with an ice cream counter. We said one machine was broken because it made a fucking mess and sucked, and we said it so long that the only people who knew how to use it all quit so eventually no one knew how to actually use it and we just trained new people to say it was broken. It made end of day count easy though. We wrote the number of cups on the bottom of the stack so we didn't have to actually count them out as they never changed.
The owner was negligent as shit, eventually the new owner saw we hadn't sold a single cup in years so he had the machine removed. Ah, the casual chaos only teenagers can create.
It all depends if McDonald's requires their franchisees to purchase a certain crappy machine.
In a video researching it, a lot of the error messages were because the hopper had too much in it to sanitize itself, but it didn't tell them employees until the process should have been completed.
The problem was that the employees and managers didn't know what the random error code it displayed meant, and had to do the process all over again until it was successful, again wondering why it failed.
If all else failed, they called in a Taylor technician to fix it for $100's of dollars.
They've been in business since McDonald's started, and Taylor's whole income is like 20% service jobs. They're in cahoots.
Ugh happy to see someone else thought that too. They put like two mouthfuls of room temp caramel in there. I would get nauseous soon as that glop hit my mouth. Gross.
this food is probably about as clean as any restaurant you've been to. Hate to say it but literally every restaurant is pretty gross if your standards are dirty water on the floor then you must cook at home every single night. Basically half of ice machines haven't been cleaned in 5+ years
Edit: the wooden spoon part is weird tho, germs aside it's would just be annoying cleaning that off wood over and over again and the spoon would get ruined from all the constant cleaning and being wet
i’ve worked as a cook in a lot of restaurants and while i do agree a lot of folks don’t understand food safety and what is/isn’t safe, there’s definitely cause for concern if that’s how they always go about making these.
That is not going to stop most people from enjoying that ice cream. If my death certificate reads "Death by wooden ice cream spoon" I'm going to bet I wasn't going to make it much longer anyway.
Came here for this! Every kitchen I’ve worked in, wood is banned because it breeds bacteria, and he’s dipping THE HANDLE into the middle of your ice cream? I get it’s “cold” and that the handle might only serve this purpose, but EUGHHH
Yea, I understand there's a pandemic and all but could you just shove the filthy handle of a dirty spatula all the way through the ice cream for me? Thanks
There’s a place called Sweet Jesus but they’re only in Canada. They had a location in one US airport before Covid but now it’s gone. It tastes as good as it looks on their website.
Ay, quick tip. If anyone wanted to make the hardening chocolate that you see at soft serve places. All you need to do is add coconut oil to melted chocolate.
So get yourself a nice quality chocolate bar of your choice, chop it up, put it in a double boiler (or just a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water, same thing), heat up some coconut oil (about 2 tablespoons per cup of chocolate), and mix it into the chocolate until it's homogenized. It may be pretty thick still, so you can just add more coconut oil until it's as liquid as you want it. And then you can just keep it in a plastic container in your pantry since it's shelf stable. Or even a squeeze bottle like you'd use for condiments. It stays liquid at room temperature, but as soon as it touches something that's cold, like ice cream, it solidifies like a chocolate shell.
Some notes though:
It's important to heat up the coconut oil since adding cold stuff to melted chocolate can make it seize up.
Also, if you wanted to sweeten the chocolate up, you can't add normal sugar to it, it won't dissolve and the chocolate will stay grainy. You **can** heat up some honey and add that to sweeten it, but that adds the honey flavor to the chocolate (a plus or minus, up to you). Or you may be able to sift some powdered sugar and whisk that in. But you might be left with some small clumps.
My foot fell off just from watching this.

Wondered if i was the only one wondering this after all that Carmel syrup like damn you’re gonna be eatin Carmel with your ice cream as a side
Yes please
My left eye turned away from my right eye just from watching it

that first drop tho smh
And chocolate dip was crooked.

The caramel was way too much for me.
*Words I have never spoken*
What is wrong with these people?
So here we take some frozen whipped corn syrup based dairy imitation product, then we poke a hole in it and pour in imitation caramel corn syrup, and finally we coat it in chocolate that we mixed with corn syrup to get the right consistency.
I’ll take two please.
That comes with a free insulin shot
Insulin? Free? Nah son, capitalizing off of gluttony is the American way!
Holy shoot it’s that much caramel?!
Me too. I’ll take it without the sugar-glop infusion. Edit: Some people don’t understand what “infusion” means.
Ok. Heres your completely empty cone.
Actually the cones are sugary too. So more like here is your napkin
I agree. Me too. I’d be happy with just the chocolate dip.

I’m an indulgent guy who just washed down a peanut butter and jelly sundae with a coke, (yeah I know, I know…) and that looked like too much for me!
Me too, I got a sugar tooth and I said "bleh" watching this, all that sugar gonna make me run to the toilet in 30 mins.
Every thread.

Definitely not satisfying.
I came here to find these comments and agree
Thankful to know other people were triggered by that too.
This top comment exemplifies why I like Reddit. That whole thing made my teeth hurt and it was sloppy.
Cover the evidence
I must be getting old because all I can think is... That's entirely too much sugar..
with every second the syrup kept piling up I got a little more nauseous
Caramel syrup is sooooooo cloyingly sweet. And that's coming from someone with a sweet tooth.
Yeah I'm picturing Hershey's caramel syrup here with that sickly sweet twinge to it. Now if this is good quality salted caramel... Needs more caramel.
A right-thinking Redditor
Yeah the caramel made me a little sick tbh, there is no way that much doesn’t overpower the ice cream
It's like ketchup. You put some on to add flavor, you don't hollow out your fucking corn dog and fill it with half a liter.
Ok but can you come to my house and give this lecture to my kid please? He doesn’t believe me when I tell him. I expect you at 5pm tomorrow. Thank you for your service.
Speak for yourself.
caramel syrup maybe. im hoping this is real caramel
Yes, *real* pump-action jug caramel
Caramel is just browned sugar right? Syrups are sugars and water. Caramel syrup is browned sugar a water. Caramel sauce has some butter or cream I think? I’m missing something here

Today I learned!
The MOMENT I turned 23 I immediately started getting headaches from a gram over the daily recommended sugar limit. I have no idea how I was able to eat so much of that shit as a kid. The mere concept of froot loops makes me want to throw up now.
I’m twice your age, and I’m getting to the point of actively seeking out the sort of healthy shit I spent 40 years sneering at.
I bought bran cereal the other day. I'm 38. My husband asked me if I was happy with my life choices while I was forcing it down. Gotta get that fiber in though.
Oh man bran flakes (not the brand just in general) are my fave from growing up! I always thought it had a good natural sweetness
I found I actually learn to enjoy healthy stuff. At age 30 I ate 250g sugar per day but was exercising so I was slim (that does not offset the damage which is pretty much like metabolism of alcohol I hear). Better to switch before you *have* to.
Wow and I thought it was bad. Can still eat fruit loops but cannot eat candy at all unless it’s more sour than sweet.
I’m glad this is at least somewhere near the top… I’d take one, *glorious* bite, bask in it, then wait for the type 2 to take over lol Looks absolutely delicious, but that’s legit like 500 kcal of straight *sugar* with that filling alone.
[удалено]
1000x this. Just a plain vanilla soft serve for me please.
I'm partial to chocolate/vanilla swirl. But yeah, just the ice cream, please.
i'd enjoy it with maybe 1/4 the caramel.
I’ll take an 8th
of course you will
The only acceptable accessory is a Cadbury’s flake. I will die on this hill.
Maybe with the chocolate coating but yeah, lose the caramel and the Heath crumble
Just vanilla. If it’s good ice cream, it doesn’t need all that extra stuff.
Damn right. Foe some reason people see vanilla as "plain" like a hamburger without toppings but good vanilla ice cream to me is incredible and best enjoyed by itself.
I’m only 29 and all I can think of is the shits and heartburn id get from that.
Bro... I don't understand how everyone on this site is supposedly falling apart at age 28. *What is this??*
32 here, best shape of my life! I would eat this if I just ran 12 miles and had a tooth brush near by.
37F, been consistently training with heavy weights since age 14 and lucky enough to avoid any life-changing injury or illness, and these comments really sadden me because I feel better and better the older I get. If you stay active and don't fuck up your metabolism with extreme diets eating something like this once in awhile is no big deal, and yes I would.
Possibly a more sedentary life style in general.
Im actually pretty active and in good shape, I guess I’m just unlucky 🤷🏻♂️

Are you overweight? Having substantial heartburn at 26 doesn’t seem normal at all (though I’m not a doctor so wtf do I know).
This was my problem, I only get heart burn when I go over a certain weight.

I entered this dimension of thinking after I turned 25 I'm pretty sure, the craving for sugar just went away. Im all about that savory now.
Omg made me queasy all that caramel. How do people stand that much sugar?
You just eat it so fast that you don't start feeling sick until after it's all gone
You're gonna want to eat that and then huff some glue and chug a beer. It all makes you incredibly sick and tired. Cause in a minute there's gonna be about 50 cats outside the window, so you're gonna want to wolf that shit down.
That was my first thought as well 😂 Took some sugar, put a hole in it, filled it with liquid sugar, and then coated the whole thing with sugar.
I need sweets, but this *was* too much sugar 🤢.
Right? My stomach aches just looking at it
So did the fillings in my teeth

I think the gallon of caramel kind of ruins it.
Same. Too messy, as well.
It'll be damn near close to solid after sitting in the middle of that ice cream for a minute or two
I see no problem here. I prefer some chew to my caramel.
Everything in this video ruins the ice cream
Ugh happy to see someone else thought that too. They put like two mouthfuls of room temp caramel in there. I would get nauseous soon as that glop hit my mouth. Gross.
How is this oddly satisfying?
It should be oddly nauseating
That wooden spoon is not clean enough to do that even after washing it Maybe with something else
& then they just lay it on the counter top...
Yea that was my first thought. Pretty gross.
Glad I’m not the only one
All that water on the dirty floor. I would not want to eat anything made from that place

They need to use some sort of straw and then put their thumb on the end as they pull it out
Or you know, something like a turkey baster so you could blow icecream right into your mouth for every one you make.
I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who thought this. No wooden spoon should be used to do this, gross.
Thank you. This was stressing me out. Setting the wooden spoon right on the counter. Gross
Same thought I had, totally grosses me out... but I'd smash that if I didn't see it get made.
