McDonald's is always at the centre of a new rumour-fuelled controversy. Whether it be that their burgers are made out of rats or that a woman found semen in her cheeseburger, there's ALWAYS something or someone trying to put you off.

However, whilst the rumours may not always be true, Twitter user and McDonald's employee Nick's photos of the ice cream machine in his chain are true, and they are GRIM:

This came out of McDonald's ice cream machine in case y'all were wondering... pic.twitter.com/DTXXpzE7Ce

Are you ready... because in the words of Destiny's Child, I don't think you're ready.

WHAT THE DAMN HELL! That LITERALLY CAME OUT THE MACHINE YOU GET MCFLURRYS FROM.

I. AM. SHOOK. And Nick didn't stop there either. Oh no. Nick was going in HAM:

Since I'm exposing McDonald's I might as well show y'all what y'all really eating... fresh out the freezer. pic.twitter.com/KZ7Ao1kWsR

I mean it's no surprise that it's frozen but this shit isn't even real meat or fish.

Sounds like Nick needs a happy meal because boy oh boy is he MAD about something. However, whilst he seemed hell bent on destroying McDonald's reputation, Twitter quickly jumped to the chain's defence:

plus aout the ice cream its only like that because y'all the employees aren't cleaning the machine daily like your suppose to be.

How does your tweet about ONE franchise of McDonald's justifies all McDonald's?? pic.twitter.com/64ryGc8mG7

... Whether this is an isolated incident or across McDonald's chains, we think we'll be giving them a McMiss for the time being.
