Everyone should just start making their own clothes.

I have one.


Wendy's- The meat in your cup of chili? It was the hamburger patties from yesterday. You see, whenever hamburgers are made, they have "7 minutes" until we were no longer able to use it for your next burger. So they were put into a tray, and when that tray was full, it would go into a bag into the freezer. Brought out early the next day to be diced into your chili meat.

Nothing wrong with that; tastes delicious.
 
Another fast food one:

I was an assistant manager for an Arby's for a while after high school (so, around 1998). I always assumed that buns that went bad or stale were thrown away. Nope. The vendor would come and collect them, and the store got a partial credit back, because they were re-processed back into new buns. The bread plant would grind the old ones back into "flour", process it, then add that to the mix for new buns, limiting it to a certain % of the recipe.

They broke the cycle and started from scratch once a week, so they didn't put bread through the process too many times over.

"Bane was right"

As for clothes, you could always shop at a Salvation Army. I don't know if SA or other thrift stores have their own demons, but at least you aren't giving money straight to these other corps.
 
As horrible as some of these stories are, they hardly seem "secrets".
Which probably makes it worst, if i think about it.

Others instead seem so generic they could come from a movie (like the wall street one).
 
That funeral home one is upsetting but not surprising. Makes me extra glad that we did a simple cremation for my grandma recently and then had a nice dinner at her favorite restaurant with just close family members.

This is kind of amazing, TBH.

It also explains much about Arbys.
 
I easily believe what these people are saying.

Mainly because it's been common knowledge in many cases forever. Why wouldn't something be done you ask? Sadly there is an answer to that, it's how our society operates.

I support this actually. They break the cycle so they aren't using the same flour 800 times or anything huge like that and they limit the recipe to a certain %. Sounds responsible with their materials to me.
 
Is Hollywood really as disgusting as all of these behind the scenes confessions make it sound? The whole casting couch thing isn't just a porn trope? Exploiting underage girls? etc?

Yes.

Child stars in particular get it pretty bad too. They're exploited heavily at young ages, and if they don't develop any useful talents when they hit adulthood, they're pretty much dropped and abandoned.

Rumor and hersay claims that the person behind many of those shitty Disney shows is a disgusting fiend.
 
imagine all the dick Taylor Kitsch had to take for John Carter and Battleship (probably gangbangs?)... and in the end, none of it paid off. :'(
 
Was it this?

As this won't be seen by anyone because we're seven hours in: Katy Perry is nothing like you think; Every funny person in hollywood has a joke writer and that includes Mistress Lawrence; All those cool indie movies with comedians? They're studio movies paid for through complex subsidiaries; No one is making movies for you - all these super hero films are aimed at China; Not a single studio is worried about irrelevance, Netflix or the like, it's an excuse to be lazy in all honesty; Scientology are far more ingrained than you dare to imagine; Porn stars turn up in every party; most those celebrity marriages are shams; There's a lot of hardcore religion out here; Rape, fuck loads of rape; Every studio is planning a kickstarter project; A suprising amount of actresses slept there way to the top; Elisabeth Moss is the nicest person you'll ever meet.

I could go on for so long.

? There are a ton of clothing companies that do neither of those things. Look a little harder.

Sounds like shit I could have made up

People know superhero tentpole movies are geared towards international sales and china is an important base for hollywood to crack.

We all kno over half of the woman in Hollywood slept to get to where they are now. Even J Law

Idk bout the kickstater one. Could be true.

Worked at Wendy's throughout high school and this is mostly horse shit. The beef is regulated by date, we got enough for four or so days every delivery. If you ever bought meat at a store you'd know that it would be fine for about a week in the fridge, we never left if for that long, max I saw was three days. Same goes for lettuce, tomatoes, ect. These are things that last for a couple of days no problem. The salad stuff is prepared in the morning everyday, we cut veggies multiple times a day. A potato can last two weeks no problem and we never kept them half that long. Also all the chicken is frozen and cut fresh for salads ever two hours.

I don't know, never worked at a Wendys, but I went to one on a Sunday about a year ago and they were out off all kind of stuff. Chicken pattys, sweet potatoes and some other stuff. It seemed like half the menu was unavailable. They told us they were really busy the past week and were expecting a delivery the next day.
 
This is similar to the Wendy's chili one. At Chick-fil-A when the chicken goes past its holding time it's stripped of it's breeding and dumped into a tub and put in the freezer until the next morning. Then they pull it out and grind it up to make the chicken salad sandwiches. I always thought it was a good idea and glad to see Wendy's doing something similar.
 
none of this is really that surprising, but still fun to go through. Thanks for the link.

also, the stuff about fast food really applies to almost all food places. Make your own food if this bothers you that much.

The stuff about fast food isn't even bad. Using stuff the next day? That's like eating leftovers!

Do not. Eyes need to be opened. Now imagine what the cast of Arrow did to each other for the role!

Yeah, the problem usually is the friggin' transparency, or lack of it. When buying food, one does not expect sheningans. It can be quite critical with all the digestion/health problems one can have.
