This Is Why McDonald's Burgers Are So Delicious

McDonald's is famous for its burgers, selling approximately 75 every second. Of course, this means that the fast food giant must be doing something right when sandwiching their signature all-beef patties inside of a simple bun. But what makes these burgers so delicious? Here's the secret.

Contrary to widespread rumor, all of their patties are actually made from 100 percent USDA-inspected beef. Prior to 2011, like many other fast food chain restaurants in the United States, McDonald's did use the meat-based filler commonly known as "pink slime" in their burgers. The substance in question was beef, but only technically. Pink slime is actually made from finely-textured beef trimmings that are then treated with ammonia before being ground up into a pink paste. Is it gross? Yes, but thankfully pink slime is no longer an ingredient in McDonald's hamburgers.

In 2014, as part of a widespread effort to debunk the negative consumer perceptions that surrounded their beef products, the company hired former MythBuster Grant Imahara to prove to customers that their well-known claim to serve all-beef patties was true. Imahara went to the Cargill processing plant in Fresno, California to see for himself what goes into a McDonald's "100 percent" beef patty. In the end, he found that McDonald's patties are, indeed, 100 percent beef as claimed. Keep watching for more about Why McDonald's Burgers Are So Delicious.
