No one expects 100% perfection, 100% of the time, when ordering
fast food. But what happens here is unacceptable.

Note the video calls Taco Bell's food, "Mexican inspired."
Regarding cleaning of the fountain pop machines:
Eons ago, or so it feels, I worked for McDonald's and Wendy's. I
never saw anyone do any cleaning of any part of the machine at
McDonald's. Aside from wiping down the area. It is, of course,
possible cleaning always happened on days I was off. Possible.
I will state, at no time did I see, or hear about, any mold in
the machine at McDonald's.
Wendy's would almost tear down the whole machine to clean. As I
remember it, the lines from the bags of syrup would be clamped and the
machine rinsed, washed, rinsed again, then rinsed again. After all of
that, many parts would be removed, taken to the sinks and washed and
sanitized separately. Seemed like overkill to me, but I expect "better
safe than sorry" was the idea behind it.
Much the same process was used in cleaning the Frosty machine.
Except the frosty mix was empties and disposed of. Nothing needed to
be clamped off.
I think the ice cream machine at McDonald's had some sort of
automatic cleaning system. So it's possible it was cleaned over night
while closed. It was never "broken" during the time.
This was 30+ years ago, so I can't KNOW what the process is at
either company. I expect Wendy's to be the same. I can only hope
McDonald's has improved, though the video doesn't support such a hope.

That's why it's important to pollute the air now. Before it's too
