21 Mind-Blowing Facts About Food You Didn't Know About
21 mind-blowing facts about food

Have you ever heard any mind-blowing fact about food? Well if not then here are 21 mind-blowing facts about food.


Mind-Blowing Facts About Food


1.      QA personnel at Ben & Jerry’s have access to a machete so that they can grab random pints off the line and cut them into quarters. This lets them inspect the product to ensure the chunky parts, fillings, and other detached ingredients (e.g. cheesecake chunks, chocolate chips, cookie dough chunks, brownie pieces, pieces of fruit) are evenly distributed, and that there are enough of them.


2.      Pete’s Super Submarines was renamed “Subway” because the former ended up sounding like “pizza marines”.


3.      Colonel Sanders used his social security check to start KFC.


4.      Pizza Hut got its name since they were limited to 8 characters, “pizza” was already there, and one of the founders commented how their building looked like a hut.


5.      Dunkin Donuts got their name since the idea was, you dunked the donuts into your coffee.


6.      According to Big History, the word “salt” has been used to derive other words associated with it, including “salary”, “sauce”, “salvation”, and “salsa”.


7.      According to Big History again, salt was so important that in ancient English areas, towns would be dedicated to producing or moving salt, and their names would contain the suffix “-wich”.


8.      At Five Guys, you can request a free refill for your fries.


9.      The number of Chinese joints put together, outnumbers the number of McDonald's restaurants.


10.  McDonald’s fries are kept in freezers, along with protein.


11.  When a McDonald’s franchisee suggested the filet-o-fish to be put on the menu so he could get business from local Catholics who had to abstain from meat, Ray Kroc suggested his Hula burger instead (pineapple slice, a slice of cheese on top and on bottom, and both buns buttered). They held a competition, with whoever sold the most getting to put their burger on the menu. The franchisee reported he sold about a couple dozen (I’m going from memory here). When asked how many Hula burgers he sold, Ray Kroc declined to answer.


12.  The original Filet-o-fish had a full slice of cheese, and used red cod. It’s been changed to half a slice of cheese, and Pollock instead.


13.  Despite popular belief, Twinkies and honey do NOT last forever. The former has a shelf life of 25 days (and you probably wouldn’t want to consume them after several months to a year), while the latter lasts a few hundred years.


14.  Twinkies used to be made with banana cream. Shortages of fruit during world war II got them to switch to vanilla cream.


15.  Organic seafood is meaningless since there are no standards for it.


16.  Growing almonds uses up 1 gallon of water per almond.


17.  A device to straighten bananas so that they would be easier to eat and transport was created.


18.  Some restaurants use different names for different halves of the US despite being the same. Examples for eastern vs. western include: Hardees/Carls Jr. and Checkers/Rallies.


19.  Chef Gordon Ramsey approves of In & Out Burger’s burgers! He was so impressed by it when he first tried it that he actually got back in line at drive through to get a 2nd helping!


20.  Only the top 2 chemists at Coca Cola are allowed to memorize the cola’s formula.


21.  Because of American’s love of pizza, mozzarella is the type of cheese that’s most consumed in the US.
