I think they they get all of that from Masterfoods corp.
They come to Maccas in sealed 1 litre bags. The pouches are plain unmarked other than the flavour and use by. It could also be Cadbury but the stuff that Maccas gets from them is usually branded and marked like Flake and the McFlurry toppings |

A friend who worked there once told me you could buy anything Macca's uses over the counter in the store. Don't know if it's true but if it is you might be able to just buy a bag??

If you're good mates with someone who works there, preferably working an open or close shift, its pretty easy to scab a bag off the shelf

My brother worked at Hungry Jacks for a while and would usually take a 1 litre bag of caramel topping every now and then.
That is where I got my "Ford Tought Blvd" sign from. Thanks Hungry Jacks.

You would be suprised... Most major chains, buy from other name brand companies. eg KFC uses Ighams chicken(at least in SA), the cheese at Dominos in SA at least is made by farmers Union. Maccas and other companies vary their products slightly around the world to suit local produce. And their receipies and bought/sold under licence agreements to other companies.

All of the McDonald's sauces and Toppings are produced exclusively for McDonald's. It has been eight years since I was a McManager, however I doubt nothing has changed. My Store had Surveillance cameras in the 'Cage' (Dry storage Areas) so any pilfering was deterred. That didn't stop some people stealing the Monopoly Fry Boxes and Cups. Made for interesting Crew Meetings...

Its only after I left working there where it was hustle for an 8 hour shift, got a job sitting down in an office all day and also stopped eating heaps of fast food that I gained weight to where I am now, ~95kg. Remember the Supersize-me documentary? If you stopped doing anything physical, whatever you eat will make you like that. Especially if you overinduldge on one type food. I could make a similar documentary on problems excessive fruit consumption can give you... Its all about balance and what energy you put into yourself you have to output. |

I used to work at Maccas!........20 years ago!
Every "Sunday" night, pardon the pun, they'd empty out the caramel and chocolate topping plungers! I was polite enought to take large cups of it home. I can't believe I used to eat that stuff straight mmmm :sm_drool: |

I used to make my own syrup to go on pancakes. Made it with brown suger and little water and butter. Add a thinly chopped banana and it just brings even more flavour to the table.

Yeah i took a look at the caramal sundae topping box, i didnt catch the name, but the lable on the box says its made in new zealand.. If ya really want some caramal topping, just go into a maccas and ask if you can get a sundae cup filled with caramal topping. they may think 'what the hell is this guy on?' but its prob worth it if you like it alot.
heres an interesting thing that maccas does, you can get a sundae lid filled with pickles for free, you can even get a cup filled with pickles, but you have to pay for the cup. I have only been asked about the cup filled with pickles twice and happly gave it to m. Cant remember how much it was though.. Hope that helps. |
