A Burger King Employee Reveals Their ‘Nasty’ Sweet Tea That Never Gets ‘Changed’ Or ‘Cleaned’ At Most Stores

The internet is filled with shocking revelations from fast food employees, many of whom take to platforms like TikTok to share behind-the-scenes secrets that might make you think twice about your next meal—or your next beverage purchase. If you’re a fan of sweet tea, consider yourself warned.

From warnings about soda fountains to tales of sweet tea that’s been sitting out for far too long, these confessions often shed light on the less appetizing side of the fast food industry. A recent video by TikTok user @suckmyinfestedbones is no exception, offering a glimpse into what might be lurking in your cup of sweet tea at Burger King.

In a video that quickly garnered attention, a Burger King employee shows what appears to be a tub of sweet tea that’s anything but refreshing. The video, which features a container filled with murky liquid and what looks like grey mold, is captioned with the words, “The nasty sweet tea y’all be drinking at Burger King.” The employee goes on to claim that the manager “won’t change or clean it at most BK” locations, expressing frustration with the situation and even jokingly adding, “Also I need a raise.”

The video sparked a wave of reactions, with many viewers horrified by the condition of the tea. One commenter noted, “literally everywhere I’m the only one who actually scrubs the tea urns bc I just can’t leave stuff that dirty.” Another chimed in with their own experience, saying, “when my brother used to work there, he told me that flies and stuff be around there.” These comments highlight a broader issue with cleanliness in some fast food establishments, particularly when it comes to beverages that customers assume are safe to consume.
