- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- We all know it, that formula at McDonald's,
why that's the best tasting Coke and Diet Coke
on the planet.
- Why?
- They have a, 'cause what happens is,
when you're an establishment, like a restaurant,
you get, you know, a formula.
Like the gun has a blend.
And there's definitely a different formula
at McDonald's.
- Oh, has there been anything written about this?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Oh, interesting, I didn't know that.
- Oh, if you drive by a McDonald's and you get a Diet Coke,
you'll be like, "What the fuck?"
- Okay, typically restaurants get their soda syrups
in plastic bags, but Coca-Cola does something different
for McDonald's.
The fast food chain gets their Coke syrup delivered
in stainless steel tanks.
According to the New York Times,
the material keeps the soda fresher
and your tongue can taste the difference.
- A thousand percent it can.
- Right, but is it a more potent blend
or is it just because it's in the tanks?
- I don't know, but it does taste so much better.
It says their filtration system is top tier.
It is superior.
Wow, there's all these articles about it being superior.
- And I would say both.
Like regular Coke, you'll all of a sudden,
you're like, "Oh, man."
And Diet Coke.
- McDonald's does an article.
McDonald's does.
It says, "There are many reasons the Coca-Cola
tastes so great at McDonald's.
We simply follow the guidelines set by Coca-Cola
and take steps to ensure that we serve
a high-quality fountain beverage."
Well, congratulations, you do that.
- Yes.
"Direct Coca-Cola syrup are pre-chilled
before entering our fountain dispensers
with the ratio syrup set to allow for ice to melt."
Oh, so that it doesn't get watered down with the ice,
so they are making it stronger.
That's smart.
- But doesn't this tell you something, though,
that how everything is in the details?
You know what I mean?
Like, this is something that probably a restaurant
would be like, Coca-Cola would say,
"You should do this," and they go, "Whatever."
- Right.
- You know, like, whatever.
We'll just put it in the gun.
But I believe that McDonald's sticks to that
because it is consistent and it is so much different tasting.
- Even what they said about their straws.
- Yeah.
- So their straws are typically wider
than the typical straw.
- So you have a different amount coming in.
- Yeah, give it to me.
Right in my face hole, you fuckheads.
- Fuck my mouth with Coke.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, big old fat tube of it.
- So fucking good.
- Extra syrupy, 'cause what if the ice melts?
- Yeah.
- The ice melts, even their ice is better there.
- They have better ice?
- They have better ice.
- Or they have filtered water, they said.
- There you go.
- By the way, we're not paid by McDonald's for this.
- No.
- I don't even eat that stuff.
But if I did, it's Filet-O-Fishes.
- Filet-O-Fishes.
- I could eat five of those fuckheads.
- Really?
- I love Filets-O-Fishes.
I don't even know what that is.
- McDonald's has this thing, too,
where there's a temperature swing
where it goes from being the best thing
you can eat at that moment
to like, this is-- - Right.
- Unedible.
- Dog food.
- You're like, throw this down.
I was in California a few months ago
and I had a Quarter Pounder.
It was actually quite a while ago, 10 months ago.
And I had a Quarter Pounder for the first time
in fucking forever.
But I was starving.
And I had to eat.
And I was heading to the airport.
I'm like, we're just pulling this drive-through real quick.
I get a Quarter Pounder.
It's so sweet.
- Yeah. - Like I could taste the sugar
in a Quarter Pounder.
- Their bread even is, I think, sweet.
- Yeah, it tasted like a pastry.
- Yeah. - I was like, this is interesting.
It was very good.
- Yeah. - I enjoyed it.
I really did.
I'm a Quarter Pounder fan.
- Yeah. - I don't know what they're doing,
but it's fucking delicious.
- That's the thing I think you really notice
about certain foods
when you stay away from them for a while,
is that when you reintroduce them, you go,
oh, I didn't realize that I was,
this tastes way different.
- Yeah, way different.
I thought it was gonna taste like an In-N-Out cheeseburger.
- Yeah. - Like a cheeseburger.
Like In-N-Out is the gold standard for me.
For fast food places, you can't fuck with In-N-Out.
- But they have a standard. - And Five Guys.
- They have standards.
I mean, In-N-Out has high standards.
- Oh, yeah.
- Whether or not they are, for your palate,
you can't negate that they have high standards.
- Some people hate their fries.
- I know. - How can you hate their fries?
- You're seeing them chop the potatoes in the back.
- I just wish they did it in beef tallow
'cause they do it in some bullshit seed oils.
- That's what they...
- Yeah, I'm sure.
What does In-N-Out use oil for their fries?
Everybody uses like canola oil,
which is basically industrial lubricant.
That stuff was invented to lube up machines.
- Really? - Sunflower oil.
- Sunflower oil, same shit.
- Yeah.
- You're not supposed to get that much sunflower oil
in your body at one point in time.
It's not normal.
- But they definitely, I've seen them.
- Sounds healthy, doesn't it?
- It does, actually.
Sunflower sounds good.
- That shit's not healthy.
- They watch them, they're chopping the produce right there.
- Oh yeah, right in front of you, right in front of you.
The meat is fresh, it's not frozen and you can taste it.
- And there's a nice biblical verse on the bottom of the cup.
- Oh, that's so sweet.
- It's beautiful.
You know what I love, flying Dutchman's.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's what I get.
- The secret menu.
- Yeah, that's what I get.
- The secret menu is really fascinating.
They have an entire-- - I know, it's wild.
Animal style and all that jazz.
- Yeah, nothing's on, not printed though.
- Yeah, how do you find that out?
You don't know somebody.
- Yeah, somebody told me about it the first time
and then I Googled it and it's much more extensive than you,
it's not like two or three things.
- Oh yeah, it's a shit ton of things.
- It's a lot of things, yeah.
- Things I've never even heard of before.
- Yeah, it's a lot.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, but it's fucking delicious.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, I'm a fan.
- I'm a fan.
- I also love--
- It is such a different taste though than a McDonald's burger.
McDonald's burger is like, it was sweet.
I'd like to know how much, what, how many,
how many grams of sugar is in a quarter pounder?
- It's gotta be, and I'm telling you,
it's gotta be from that bread too.
That bread is sweet. - It's gotta be from everything.
It seems like it's from the ketchup too.
It seemed like the condiments had some sugar.
- Higher sugar content?
- Yeah, it just tasted like it had sugar in it.
Like, I'm real sensitive to that.
So I eat it, I'm like, ooh.
It was good though.
- I also love a Chick-fil-A sandwich.
- Ooh, I love a Chick-fil-A.
- Yeah.
- I love your wife's joke about them.
- She's so funny, man.
- Yeah, she's great.
- Oh, she's so funny.
10 grams, 10 grams of sugar.
- Eight of it's added though, so that might be the bread.
- Okay, so it's two natural and eight added.
So it must be eight grams of sugar in the bread.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- That's in a quarter pounder?
- Yeah, that's kind of a lot.
- Yeah.
- It's like a really sugary drink.
- Maybe it's the ketchup even.
- Mmm, yeah, that's what I was saying too.
I felt like the ketchup was kind of sweet.
So it's probably the bun and the ketchup.
Good though.
- So good.
- It's a good move to put that eight grams in there.
- Yeah.
It's so fucking good.
- It makes it more delicious
if you're only looking for something delicious.
- You ever heard of the McDonald's secret menu?
- No.
- They have some weird shit on here like this.
- The land, sea, and air burger?
- It's a fish fillet, chicken, and burger.
- Whoa.
- The difference is though, I feel like if you--
- They'll stab you if you order that.
- Yeah, if you order that, first of all,
I think they'd be like, the fuck are you talking about?
- Look at this McCrepe.
- The McGangbang?
- The McGangbang?
- Shut the fuck up.
- There's no way, come on.
- I think these are real, I swear.
- Are you serious?
- I don't know which place is gonna really know about 'em,
I've seen people ask, like, they follow through with a video
and go ask for some of this stuff.
- What?
- There's a weird viral thing going on right now with them
'cause they have a Grimace milkshake.
- Yeah.
- People are making some crazy videos about like,
what happened to me after I trained this crazy milkshake.
- Oh, like Red Band did with--
- 100%.
- Remember what Red Band did with Pepsi Spice?
- No.
- Did you never knew about that?
- No.
- It's the greatest troll Red Band ever pulled off.
- Really?
- Red Band bought pepsispice.com,
and then he documented his enjoying delicious Pepsi Spice.
And so as he's drinking Pepsi Spice, he's losing weight,
he's getting blood in his diarrhea,
he's dying at the end, he's making videos.
This is like young Red Band, Pepsi Spice Project promo.
I don't know what this has to do with anything.
- Oh my God, is he blowing himself?
- Yeah, he's in the bathroom doing stuff, but yeah.
- So he's filming himself,
drinking Pepsi Spice with himself.
- Pepsi Spice.
- So anyway, so he bought pepsispice.com
and he had to give it to Pepsi after a while.
- Oh really?
- But I mean, I think it still exists somewhere online.
- But they came to him and they were like,
"Hey, you motherfucker, we'll kill you."
- Yeah.
- Because it went viral, you know, at the time,
like whatever viral is in the year 2001.
- Imagine like the threat from a corporation like that.
- Oh my God.
- With this blog for it.
- The Pepsi Spice Project.
- Wow.
- Yeah, it's very funny.
- Wade continues to add,
I like the stamp yesterday, it sizzles.
- I'm afraid to have sex.
I keep thinking that my over-caffeinated sperm
would blow a hole through the back of a girl's head.
Like what?
- It's stupid.
- It's just so stupid.
- It's so stupid.
- The funnest thing to do is a stupid bit.
