‘It ain’t food anymore.’: Dairy Queen customer warns against chicken after his dog refuses to eat it
2024-08-23
‘Any meat items my dogs refuse to eat, I no longer eat.’ It’s said that animals have a “sixth sense,” which affords them an insight human beings cannot match. There are clips of security camera earthquake footage where pets can be seen wigging out seconds before tremors begin.
It seems their sharp senses also apply to what they eat. Not long ago, a video showing a bear outright declining to eat from McDonald's quickly went viral. This video left a lasting impact on the internet. People found it odd that an animal usually rummaging through garbage for food rejected McDonald's offerings. It sparked questions about the quality of fast food for humans if even the most notorious food-loving animals wouldn't even try it.
Now, a Dairy Queen customer is having doubts about the food chain’s chicken after their dog wouldn’t eat it.
No appetite for DQ
Igor (@igor71967) shared the video on TikTok with a caption that said, “Warning! Dairy Queen’s chicken.”
Right at the beginning of the video, Igor shows a chicken tender to the viewers.
He narrates, “This, my friends, is an authentic piece of Dairy Queen chicken. OK? And this is an animal.” He walks up to his dog, who is lying down in a garage.
Then, Igor says, “Now, I’m gonna give him this.” He holds the tender up to the dog’s face. The canine takes a few sniffs of the chicken but doesn’t try to eat it. Next, Igor tosses the nugget between the dog’s paws.
“I’m gonna set it down. Now watch him,” the TikToker adds, backing up away from the pet.
His dog looks up at him and begins wagging his tail.
“You can eat it, go ahead, eat,” he assures the animal as he backs away. “We’re gonna leave him for a minute. We’re gonna walk around.”
After a quick stroll through his backyard, he then reverses his direction back to the dog.
The chicken nugget remains untouched
“And we’re gonna go back and look,” he says.
The piece of chicken still sits between his dog’s paws. “He’s still not eating it. Now look we’ll do this. We’ll double the stakes,” Igor says, tossing another tender at his dog’s feet.
The dog sniffs the newer offering but shows no interest in attempting to eat it. "If the dog won't touch it, neither should you," he concludes.
This isn't the first instance of a video capturing a dog's negative response to fast food. In this video, a man filmed himself attempting to feed his dog a McNugget from McDonald's. Upon offering it, the dog turned her head away, clearly uninterested in consuming it.
Viewers share their thoughts
One person shared their concern over bread. “Anyone else notice you can leave store bought bread out for literally a month and it won’t go moldy anymore,” they wrote.
“It aint food anymore. They know it,” someone else replied. Igor responded to this, stating he believes there was a distinct cut-off period for real food in the U.S. “They stopped that in the late 70s,” he said.
Someone else said they shared Igor’s same views on food items their dog denies: “Any meat items my dogs refuse to eat, I no longer eat.”
Another said this same concept even extends to other products. “Hummingbirds will not consume Walmart Great value sugar,” they said. “I stopped buying all great value products.”
Others said they noticed a difference in the way herbivorous animals react to store-bought fruits and vegetables.
“Our bunny will not eat salads from fast food restaurants either and he loves salad,” one wrote.
Another replied, “My dog refuses to eat fresh fruit and veggies from the store but will eat home grown fruits and vegetables.”
why don't they tell us the company that process those meat patties??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 so I can stop buying their products

The barn cat will not eat McDonalds...she left a burger in the dish, ate all the cat crunchies around it. I thought she would like a plain cheeseburger as a treat, because she loves them from Wendy's and Culver's, but...nope, not McDonalds.
