McDonald’s iced tea has long been a popular choice among customers at the fast-food chain’s outlets. However, a recent revelation by one of the company’s employees has sparked considerable attention and concern among consumers.
TikTok user @gia2bad posted a video showcasing the preparation of iced tea, which involved emptying a bag of White Satin sugar into a bucket of tea and stirring it up.
Gia’s revelation exposed the restaurants for using an entire 4-pound bag of sugar in their iced tea.
The viral video has garnered millions of views on TikTok, leaving many to ponder the implications of this method on the quality and health aspects of the beverage.
The eye-opening revelation and its potential impact on consumers’ perceptions of McDonald’s iced tea have startled consumers. Gia’s TikTok video created a stir as she exposed McDonald’s sweet tea preparation.
In the video, she poured an entire bag, sometimes even two, of White Satin sugar into a bucket of tea.
The revelation led to a mix of reactions among customers and TikTok users.
While some expressed shock and concern over the high sugar content, others worried about potential health impacts like diabetes.

One comment read: “I been looking at this for hours,”, another read: “Would you like some tea with your sugar,”.
Amid the uproar, some users claiming to be McDonald’s employees refuted Gia’s claims, asserting that iced tea preparation varies across different locations.
It’s important to note that according to the US Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines, added sugars should account for less than 10% of total daily calories.
In contrast, a large-sized sweet tea from McDonald’s contains a0 grams of sugar, as stated on the company’s website.
The controversy raises questions about transparency in food preparation and the impact of excessive sugar consumption on health, prompting customers to reconsider their choices when ordering iced tea at McDonald’s.
