Do you think that my lemonade was contaminated at Wendys?

Question

I bought a large lemonade at our town's wendys a few days ago. It tasted weird. Our wendys has a bad smell when you walk in. I know some buildings develop a bad smell after a while, and it doesn't necessarily mean that they are dirty. Well, my lemonade had that same smell in it, except for that it was a taste. I thought that maybe it was my imagination first, or that maybe it had been in the building too long and gotten the rotten smell of the wendys, but yesturday I went and got another and it tasted way different. There was no bad taste in it at all. Do you think that one of the employees put something in it, like the stuff that the used to mop the floors with? It was diet minute maid lemonade and was out of the coke fountain.

Answer 1

get the authorities to do a food check ?

Answer 2

It's not likely the Minute Maid. The drink is sterile. Most likely, someone whose hands weren't completely clean, touched the fountain head or rim of your cup. It happens. Move on.

Answer 3

well my mom owns a restaurant.

the flavoring may have run out.

it the back, there is bags or flavor that goes through tubes to the fountain, if you don't get the perfect balance between the flavoring and the soda, it will taste weird.

this is probably what happened.

its kind of hard to explain.

:/

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

There has been rumors going around about fruit being contaminated at restaurants. Many people say not to buy drinks such as lemonade, orangeade, fruit punch, or anything else that is made of a fruit. But soda is fine. I guess its an economy problem. They also say that some (depending where it is) are fine considering the air is different from smog and exausts.

Answer 6

It is hard to say.  Maybe the cup had the smell in it.  And the lemonade was flatter than usual, which makes the drink taste even nastier.  Put those two together, and you get a very nasty taste.  If thats not it, than it was contaminated.  Why didn 't you just taste it before leaving???

Answer 7

it was probably the flavoring running out in the soda fountain. or maybe the cup was dirty. i dont think someone would put nasty mop water or something in your drink.

Answer 8

No!

Answer 9
