People have vowed never to eat at KFC again after an employee shared several behind-the-counter videos to TikTok showing how certain items are prepared.

The KFC employee - who uses the handle @cheddar4.7 on the social media platform - has amassed over 10,000 followers as a result of his food preparation videos - with some videos achieving more than 1 million views.

One video in particular that left social media users grossed out shows Cheddar preparing everybody's favorite KFC side: gravy.

Writing over the video, Cheddar explains: "This is not [poop emoji], this is crackling (chicken bits that comes off while in the fryer and goes to the bottom and then its placed in the fridge) [sic]".

As the video progresses, Cheddar mixes the "crackling" with water and a powder mix, until it resembles the classic KFC gravy we all know and love.

However, despite many of us knowing that the gravy is delicious - some people could not look past the preparation, and many vowed never to order it again.

"Never having gravy from KFC again," wrote TikTok user 'Rachbaps'.

This was echoed by another user who said they will "never again" eat the gravy.

Another TikTokker by the name of 'claytons chick' was more "grossed out" by the lack of gloves.

But despite the criticism, several commenters pointed out that this was simply how gravy is made.

Lavett Ballard wrote: "Obviously there is an entire generation that doesn't know how to cook! [Much] less make gravy".

And Emily Wren typed: "People saying it's grim, clearly never made gravy from scratch".

Another video showed Cheddar revealing how the KFC mini fillets were prepared.

Sadly, despite racking up 1.8 million views (as of this writing), several people just cannot handle seeing how their fast food is made.

One user typed: "I wish I hadn't seen this........ I used to love KFC."

And another TikTok user added: "This makes me not want a KFC."

However, other commenters were more concerned that Cheddar could lose their job if the TikTok user is identified.

User 'Bromerz' commented: "Be careful because you can lose your job for posting stuff like this. Some guy from [Wetherspoons] lost his job for showing how it's made."

A TikTok user's video about how Chick-fil-A nuggets are actually made has gone viral.

As per Indy100, the step-by-step video of how the fast-food chain makes its nuggets has received over 13 million views.

The fast-food chain was established in Georgia and has rapidly expanded to become one of the biggest chains in the US, which is famously closed on Sundays.

While the original video has now been deleted from TikTok, it was reuploaded to YouTube at the end of November and has received over 10K views at the time of writing.

The first frame of the video shows a bag full of raw chicken which is then rolled in what the employee describes as "milkwash". After this, the nuggets are rolled into seasoning before they are fried in cooking oil and transformed into the nuggets that many know and love.

As per Indy100, viewers of the video on TikTok were surprised to see that the chain uses real chicken in its nuggets and seasoning and not something that doesn't resemble actual meat.

However, the news outlet did report that other fast-food employees have got into trouble for posting videos from their work before, including Chick-fil-A employees, which could explain why the video was deleted.

One previously fired Chick-fil-A employee lost her job after she posted a 'secret menu' hacks video on TikTok that was designed to save people money.

Other TikTok users questioned the validity of the video and suggested that it may have been missing vital ingredients as it has long been rumored that one of Chik-Fil-A's secret ingredients is pickle juice.

This comes after many people have tried to recreate the fast-food chain's nuggets at home, putting their guesswork skills to good use.

The validity of the video was later fact-checked by Snopes, which revealed that this is indeed how Chik-fil-A makes their chicken nuggets - so pickle juice really would seem to be nothing more than a rumor.

How do you feel about the viral video? Has it surprised you and whet your appetite for some freshly cooked Chick-fil-A nuggets?

It's always disappointing when a pizza you ordered is what you wanted or expected. You'd think in this age of technological advancement, where we can literally check the bits we don't like on a pizza off a checklist from our phones, it would be impossible to end up disappointed on what is usually a very joyous occasion. Even if all your toppings are there - or not there - there's still a chance you'll end up not liking your pizza, especially if it tastes like rat poison.

CBS News reports that Gurol Bicer was fluffing up a bucket of recently shredded cheese when he noticed small brown pellets in the mix. Rightly noting that the presence of small brown pellets in a bucket of cheese was probably bad, Bicer "checked online and found the pellets were either poison or supplements, then reviewed surveillance footage to determine who made the shredded cheese". He also found pellets in three other buckets of cheese. So he called the cops.

Ricky Adami, 59, allegedly put the poison pellets in with the mix as he was using the shredding machine. CBS notes that Adami "got into trouble" with the managers hours before the incident, though why he chose to take it out on poor, unsuspecting pizza lovers, we may never know.

Bicer threw out all the shredded cheese mix, making this both dangerous for consumers and a crime against cheese. "Everything he touched, I threw away. All the containers, the parts of the machine, the cheese, of course," Bicer said. The health department has given Primo Pizza permission to carry on, and Adami has been "arrested and charged with distributing food containing noxious/deleterious material." If there was going to be something I wanted extra with my pizza, it wouldn't be rat poison.

This, on the other hand, I'm down for. CamSoda, which is primarily a webcam and XXX VR company, has just announced a new vibrator called the RubGrub. The vibrator does all the things you'd want a good vibrator to do, then gets you a cheese pizza from Domino's as well.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/967339085474877440/video/1]]

According to a press release by CamSoda, here's how the RubGrub works:

"An internet connected button (similar to the Amazon Dash Button) that is affixed on the end of the vibrator. The button has payment/delivery and order information, which is programmed into it at the time of purchase and connects to Domino’s through its pizza-ordering API. When a user is done ‘using’ the vibrator, they push the button, which places a delivery order for a large cheese pizza."

You may turn your head at this at initial reaction, but when you think about it, how different is this to a really good session? You've worn yourself out, and ordering something online because you're too hollowed out to cook, or even move for 20 minutes. Cutting out a couple of steps just makes life easier.

Company Vice President, Daryn Parker said in another press release:

"Masturbation, while ultimately enjoyable, can be a strenuous physical activity during which an individual exerts a lot of energy and burns many calories. Inevitably, once someone has climaxed, they feel lethargic and hungry. Now, in order to enjoy your Saturday night, all you need is your RubGrub device. Get off and get stuffed, all with the quick click of a button."

The company mentioned that it plans to add more restaurant chains in the coming months, so if you crave Chinese food or tacos during a vibe session, you’ll soon be taken care of. This way if you die from rat poison, you had some good late innings.

A plastic-wrapped piece of burger cheese has gone viral this week after a British university found that it was being used as a bookmark. The mysterious slice was discovered by irritated librarians at Liverpool University, who understandably took a dim view of the affair. No one has yet been able to confirm whether it was found in a copy of War and Bries.

The story gained traction after the official University of Liverpool Library Twitter account posted a photo of the offending dairy, accompanied by the caption self-evident caption, “this is not a bookmark”. Judging by the spiky response, cheddars are expected to roll. 

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/LivUniLibrary/status/1219622135070711809]]

The story of the discovery was fleshed out by the BBC, who spoke to Associate director Alex Widdeson in the aftermath of the incident. According to their report, she described it as "disconcertingly warm and liquid," and sandwiched "somewhere between American history and geography." 

Widdeson went on to reveal that the unfortunate employee who made the discovery was “a mix of amused and disgusted," adding that she wasn’t "sure even the mice would have been interested." One can only imagine what a paneer it was to decontaminate the book afterwards.

Shockingly, Widdeson also revealed that incidents of this nature are not as uncommon as you might expect. As she explained to the BBC:

"A few years ago, we had the 'shelf-wich', a sandwich wrapper that was being used as a bookend, and it's not uncommon to find satsumas on our computers."

Predictably, people seemed far less interested in the hideous crime than they were with the number of puns that were presenting themselves. One Twitterer wondered “how anyone could fondue such a thing,” while another suggested that the book had been loaned out to a Mr “Gordon Zola.” Clearly, no one has any respect for the rule of mozzarellaw.

For the last nine months or so, I've been giving it my best to go without meat for long periods of time, and to be honest, it hasn't been that bad. But as many falafels and mushroom risottos I indulge in, you'll never catch me going vegan. It's not that I don't agree with the lifestyle or the ideology; more, it's that I don't think I could live without cheese.

Grated onto a pizza, folded into a sauce or just eating 64 slices in a single night like in that one episode of the Simpsons, I don't mean to be cheesy, but I can't get enough of the stuff. As many cheese lovers know, the best way to get cheese onto meal or into mouth is with a cheese grater, that most holy of inventions.

It's pretty simple to use a cheese grater right? Just apply block of cheese to metal grater, and get to rubbin' for those cheese nubbins. But what if I told you that you had the worst technique anybody had ever seen? That at this very moment, François Boullier, inventor of the cheese grater (how's that for some knowledge?!) is turning in his grave, because you're using his greatest achievement completely wrong?

Well... buckle up, folks, because that's exactly what I'm telling you. At least if this video's anything to go by.

Ladies and gentlemen, as we all know, the internet is this unrivalled tool for learning and connection... that we use to look at cat videos or troll anyone and everyone we see fit to upset. It's a crying shame, but every now and again, we get gems of knowledge such as this.

So come with me on this journey to the Twitter account of @beasymss, who reveals to us a really weird way of using a cheese grater, courtesy of a screen recording of an Instagram video. Yeah, I see it too; I'm not going to lie, that sounds really confusing, doesn't it?

No matter. Once you see the video in question here, regardless of its medium, everything will make sense. Life will make sense. "Ok, I was today years old when I found out THIS is how a cheese grater is used !? I feel a fool [sic]," says @beasymss, and I for one feel just as foolish.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/beasymss/status/1050760248535990272]]

Look at it. Admire the simplicity. Who knew that life could be so beautiful and simple with little more than a 90-degree rotation? Just flip the grater over on its side, let gravity do the work of collecting the cheese, and then once you're happy with your amount of cheese gratings (it's never enough), tip the cheese into a bowl, ready for action.

It's so simple, so beautiful! You'd think that the holes on the other side of the grater would lead to tons of spillage, but nope! Considering that trying to make a simple mac and cheese often leaves my kitchen looking somewhat like a meth lab, it's something I'll definitely be trying next time I try to grate some cheese.

So, in like 20 minutes.
