Most of this isn't a surprise, and why I refuse to eat fast food for the most part.
The McCafe garbage isn't shocking, but is depressing.
Granted I won't drink that crap, but someone should give half of a sh*t about cleanliness.
One I'll add to the list, ANYTHING fried from a race-day concession stand. I use to work the food trailers at NASCAR races and one of the most vile experiences in life: coming into the first race of the season and finding the congealed 12 inch deep grease pit in the fryer. Its full of bugs and twigs and all kinds of nasty sh*t. Answer, turn on the heat and warm it up, it'll liquefy and start to fry that stuff. Just scoop it off the top once it floats. What about changing the grease? Nah, it's fine. Who knows how many years (literally) it's been in there, but it's fine. That same grease will travel most of the circuit never getting changed, then parked back into storage, uncovered and unprotected for the winter months until next season.

I agree with the comments at the bottom of the story. Most of those examples are BS or due to a bad employee at a certain location, it's not true for ALL places.
** I service Slushie/Slurpee machines once in a while- I have NEVER seen mold in one, EVER. That being said..... would I buy a Slushie for myself or anyone I cared about? NO, I've seen the inside of those machines. (same goes for soft serve ice cream and frozen yogurt).
