Although McDonald’s arguably makes some of the best fast-food chicken nuggets and fries, one thing the chain isn’t really known for is its breakfast cake offerings, and there’s a reason why.
On June 13, TikTok user Rebekah Kushnier shared a video of the muffin she ordered from McDonald’s. At first glance, the bun looks appetizing; however, when Rebekah tries to break a piece to eat, she just can’t.
“McDonald’s must be kidding me,” Rebekah captioned her video. In the video, she hits the bun against a window, knocks it to the ground, and even hits it with a hammer, all to no avail.
The other TikTok users were concerned about how “stale” the bun was.
“It looks like they accidentally put cement in instead of flour,” one person joked.
“That’s a weapon at this point,” said another user.
“That is not a bagel, it is a rock,” added a third person.
Some current and former McDonald’s employees noted that they had come across inedible muffins before, usually because the muffin is not completely thawed or because the McDonald’s chain tried to sell a cake that had days, or even weeks.
“When I worked at McDonald’s, we were asked to cover the leftover muffins when we closed, and then we continued to sell them,” a former employee revealed.
“They are frozen until morning of use,” said another person. “If you go early when they are still defrosting, they should have told you and warmed up for you.”
Whatever the case, you’re probably better off going to a local café the next time you want a sweet breakfast.
