Former McDonald's Employee Goes Viral for Pouring Sweet and Sour Sauce on Customer's Frappe

A former McDonald's employee has gone viral after pouring sweet and sour sauce onto a customer's caramel frappe due to their attitude.

In the video, posted to TikTok under the username @mcdanksb****, the McDonald's employee sprays whipped cream on top of a frappe before dumping a packet of sweet and sour sauce—instead of caramel—over the concoction.

A text overlay on the video reads, "When the customer has an attitude but u remember I only make [$]8.50 an hour."

Some TikTok users called out the ex-employee for his actions in the comments on the video.

"Can't you be cited or arrested by PD for that? What if they were allergic to sweet and sour and they died," said one user.

"I will legit fight you if you serve me that," another TikToker said.

It's unclear whether the drink was given to the customer or thrown away. Since its initial posting, the video has received over 7.6 million views and garnered over 102,000 comments from people across the world.

Two weeks after the video was posted, the employee posted another video of himself waving goodbye in front of a McDonald's—because he was fired from the fast-food establishment.

"Ladies and gentlemen you did it," the text overlay said in the clip. "You got me fired...bye McB******."

The comments under this video weren't very different from the last video, with many saying that he brought the termination onto himself by filming the frappe incident.

There have been a number of videos in recent months that have gone viral in relation to the fast-food giant, which serves billions of customers every day.

On September 28, a TikTok couple under the username @joshandlisa went viral after a pregnancy reveal took place by way of a Mcdonald's ice cream cone. Just like the previous TikTok videos, many commenters sounded off on the video which has received over 9 million views.

"That's disgusting," user Dze_713 wrote.

User Tessa Berry wrote: "You peed on that," referring to the used pregnancy test sticking out of the ice cream cone.

Finally, user Kait commented: "Your finger in the ice cream was enough, let alone something you peed on."

The video was allegedly a prank, as their entire TikTok page is filled with prank videos which include "carjack prank," a "grandma prank" and an "airline prank."
