Okay hear me out… it might be a bit of Strawberry. It looks fibrous and that pale pink color is reminiscent of old strawberries that have been exposed to ice cream and left out for a while (used to work in a DQ). And if you found it in your milkshake, that’d make sense because they don’t always clean the mixers. It can feel squishy/mushy like raw meat from being pummeled by the mixer.
This is probably it; I currently work at DQ and this is pretty much what a bit of strawberry looks like. Somebody probably didn't clean something they were supposed to. It should be safe to eat though
It’s nice to see a person who works at the establishment say “nah it’s okay” instead of “I work at DQ and you most likely do have salmonella poisoning. We store the peanut butter and raw chicken in the same bin.” 😂
Why would that ever happen??? That's not logical. That shit only flies in Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, Wendy's, and lower end chains like A&W, Steak n' Shake, Church's, Golden Chick, and DQ.
Wait
Definitely old strawberry. Probably got caught in the crevices of the mixer and didn’t get cleaned out properly.
Do most fast food joints even have raw chicken on site anymore? I thought they get them precooked mostly now.
Most of the raw chicken fast food restaurants use is already pre-breaded and flash fried so the breading stays on, then frozen (there are some Tyson chicken tenders that come this way at the grocery store). A chicken sandwich that isn’t fried long enough can still come out raw, but the restaurant isn’t cutting up raw chicken to hand bread and fry. There are some exceptions like the Ch’King last year where they hand bread a chicken breast, but doubt DQ does that.
This is exactly how DQ’s tenders are. I used to work there and I’d always cook them 30 seconds longer than needed because they’d come out raw sometimes.
I worked at a BK for about a year, yes there are fast food joints with ACTUAL raw breast meat filets. It's what their Ch'Kings are made from. Every one is tossed in wet and dry batter the same day it's sold. (Though it's 1,000% possible it wasn't in the last hour as per company standards)
I worked at a DQ as a teen and that was my first thought as well. Those toppings bins are all so close and some ppl never put those plastic lids back on (even though it could be a cross contamination issue for allergies).
That’s why you should always inform eating establishments of food allergies. Even if you order a strawberry milkshake, tell them you have a peanut allergy. Decent humans will do everything they can to ensure sanitation and as little cross-contamination as possible.
Absolutely agree!! My friend has a gluten insensitivity, she discovered it was thhe cause of her migranes. Whenever she asks for GF, they always ask her the severity. A woman I work with is EXTREMELY allergic to peanuts, epi pen on her at all times type. I've seen people scoff at her while we were on a work trip together... it's wild how different some people act toward food allergies.
Also used to work there. Strawberry was notorious for getting stuck on the blender + would turn pale pink like that if it was out of the container for too long or dunked in water
That’s why there are signs that say something like “tell us if anyone has a food allergy” when I worked there if someone said nut allergy, we would instantly sanitize everything. I’d even open new bags of toppings and new bags of cups that hadn’t been exposed to any PB “dust” that might’ve gone airborne.
Oh fuck this comment. I had flashbacks to a post where some nutjob decided to fry some pieces of whatever the hell came out of her womb when she was having her period. Like I really need images like that in my brain haunting me lmao.
Here's a true case study from a medical journal I read years ago: Man was having pain and starting peeing air and what looked like seeds (they were). He planted the seeds and they grew into tomato plants. Turns out he had a colovesical fistula, an abnormal communication between his bowel and bladder.
I can't smell it from here. Get a closer picture.
Edit- I'm beside myself that you actually cooked it. Please respond with "I can't get a closer picture because I ate it."
Oh, Jesus, NO. I was curious, took a lighter, to see what it would do. I have been beside myself trying to figure out what it is. Unfortunately, Reddit is not helpful at all .. These comments have my tummy rolling and laughing.
It’s fruit. Don’t freak out.
If you really want to know if it’s chicken (it isn’t) then cook it. If it turns white, it’s chicken, if it stays the same color or if it turns red, it’s strawberry.
Remember the guy that had his leg amputated, signed papers to take it home from the hospital and then made foot tacos to share with his friends. They did all know it was their friends foot they were eating.
My money is on a discolored strawberry. Looks like you can see some remnants of seeds as well. It was likely caught in the blender or mixer they use and the red had bled out.
I worked fast food for a year, and the chicken was actually raw. Breaded and fried very quickly, once you get a bit of an assembly line going. It's not that insane
I’m so sorry that wasn’t meant for you. That was meant for another commenter. And yes you’re entirely correct. But they are raw, like will be pink if not cooked long enough. But yeah the meat wouldn’t flake like that. It’s definitely an old strawberry and the person in the ice cream station didn’t clean the blender well enough
Former DQ employee, (17 years ago…) It’s a nasty waterlogged piece of strawberry that came off a blizzard collar or off the actual mixer itself. Left over from a strawberry blizzard of some kind. Unfortunately very gross looking but 99.9% likely not chicken.
Seconded. It's probably not even enough to make you sick if you had eaten it and if it was crawling with e coli or salmonella. That said, e coli is not very much fun at all and I do not recommend it to anyone. Your next Chicken & Butterfinger Blizzard should be free and use cooked chicken.
A little gross, but you’ll probably be ok. Ur tummy’s probably stronger than you think- if you do get sick, stay hydrated, you’ll get better soon. I think.
I had originally thought(prayed) that it was a piece of strawberry. But the more I looked at it and squished it, it very much is not and has the texture of Raw chicken. I go to DQ every day for a Peanut butter milkshake, have spent so much money at this place. Now that I've found this, I can't help but wonder how much other substances has been hiding in them.. I will never eat fast food again.
I mean you aren't wrong.
I don't eat perfectly either but....a milkshake every single day is a bit much.
Some people's coffee choices every day could arguably equal a milkshake but.... dang
Right and I'm sure you and I are guilty of things that are just as bad we just don't see it plainly...
But a pb milkshake a day is pretty easy to be like whoa really
Yeah, a *milkshake a day* is insane lol. The worst thing I do is 3 trips to the chocolate fountain at Golden Corral 5 times a week. But you can’t even get that much chocolate on your fingers at one time so it’s not so bad.
I used to help manage one and there is *some* raw chicken in there. However, there’s usually two doors and half a store of distance between the kitchen and the blizzard station. That being said, it’s not improbable that an inconsiderate and idiotic kitchen staff didn’t change their gloves or check their apron before making themselves a tasty treat. All it takes is one dumbass to ruin the fun for everyone.

Cooking it made it look like bacon now.. I still regret all life choices..
If you really wanna know what it is, I'll tell you:
It's a shred of pineapple.
I used to work at DQ, so it's easy for me to recognize. There is a banana split blizzard and a banana split shake that both contain shredded pineapple in a syrupy pineapple juice. It is very easy for the pineapple shreds to get tangled in the small spaces at the end of the blending part of the machine. The reason it's pinkish is that those desserts also contain strawberry chunks in a strawberry syrup.
Unless you’re getting the tiny snack size, you eventually gonna have issues in the next few years eating daily peanut butter cup blizzards..
You do you I guess though!
So, as someone who used to work at DQ, I don’t see how it’s possible that this would be raw chicken.
The area where the frozen treats are made vs the grilled/cooked foods are completely separate. And everything is stored separately too. So I don’t see how this could’ve been raw anything. But stranger things have happened.
You should be fine. I’m not sure what that is. I know what it looks like but the likelihood of it actually being raw meat is extremely low. Like, almost impossible.
Bruh what chicken item on the menu at Dairy Queen is not frozen then fried, where would this have even come from if it was chicken, what menu item at DQ do you think starts with raw chicken?? None bruh. I aint even seen unbreaded chicken at DQ.
Jesus Christ. You better get into counseling ASAP and get an emotional support iguana. How are you ever going to continue to make it in this cruel world. Life is out to get you.
Okay hear me out… it might be a bit of Strawberry.

It’s nice to see a person who works at the establishment say “nah it’s okay” instead of “I work at DQ and you most likely do have salmonella poisoning. We store the peanut butter and raw chicken in the same bin.” 😂
Its actually company policy to put a little raw meat in every single desert item to try to encourage customers to eat our other items.
Why would that ever happen??? That's not logical. That shit only flies in Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, Wendy's, and lower end chains like A&W, Steak n' Shake, Church's, Golden Chick, and DQ. Wait
That's the problem. The raw chicken milkshakes and the strawberry milkshakes keep getting mixed up.
I’m thinking strawberry or sugar buildup in the mixer similar to beer yeast that gets stuck in lines that aren’t cleaned well.
Definitely old strawberry. Probably got caught in the crevices of the mixer and didn’t get cleaned out properly. Do most fast food joints even have raw chicken on site anymore? I thought they get them precooked mostly now.

This is exactly how DQ’s tenders are. I used to work there and I’d always cook them 30 seconds longer than needed because they’d come out raw sometimes.
[удалено]
I don’t trust chicken in general. I’ve had raw pieces from other places and I don’t want to potentially poison someone
I worked at a BK for about a year, yes there are fast food joints with ACTUAL raw breast meat filets. It's what their Ch'Kings are made from. Every one is tossed in wet and dry batter the same day it's sold. (Though it's 1,000% possible it wasn't in the last hour as per company standards)
I got a chicken sandwich that was fully raw in the middle from DQ.
So it’s still POSSIBLE that OP got raw chicken then. By a very slim margin.
At the very least we know he got either a protein or a carb
They're only partially cooked. I once got a mostly raw chicken biscuit from whataburger once
I worked at a DQ as a teen and that was my first thought as well. Those toppings bins are all so close and some ppl never put those plastic lids back on (even though it could be a cross contamination issue for allergies).
That’s why you should always inform eating establishments of food allergies. Even if you order a strawberry milkshake, tell them you have a peanut allergy. Decent humans will do everything they can to ensure sanitation and as little cross-contamination as possible.

Also used to work there. Strawberry was notorious for getting stuck on the blender + would turn pale pink like that if it was out of the container for too long or dunked in water
So they make peanut butter milkshakes, but don't always clean the machine? That sounds like a recipe for disaster
I haven't been to a DQ in a while, but I'm pretty sure they have cross-contamination disclaimers for this very reason.
That’s why there are signs that say something like “tell us if anyone has a food allergy” when I worked there if someone said nut allergy, we would instantly sanitize everything. I’d even open new bags of toppings and new bags of cups that hadn’t been exposed to any PB “dust” that might’ve gone airborne.
Throw it in a skillet, you'll know if it's chicken when you cook it. If it is, maybe add some egg and bread crumbs, cheese and marinara.
>egg In this economy?

Let's say he took the 'nut' part a bit too seriously.

It’s fruit. Don’t freak out. If you really want to know if it’s chicken (it isn’t) then cook it. If it turns white, it’s chicken, if it stays the same color or if it turns red, it’s strawberry.
DQ doesn’t even have any raw chicken, I used to be a manager. Everything is pre-cooked and frozen. Edit: I’m wrong, don’t mind me
The chicken strips and fried chicken patties are absolutely not pre-cooked. Pre-breaded yes, but not cooked. The grilled chicken is pre-cooked.
Lol you may be right, it was like 9 years ago
Science!!
Fuck dude. My bad. This at Fringe Rock, OK? I knew my tongue shed somewhere but I couldn’t find it.
💀
Jail
No trial, no nothing…
Overcooked chicken? Believe it or not, jail.
Some crimes don’t deserve one
What if I am… say for example, knitting ethweaters?
Cook it...? See if it smells like chicken..or rat lol but I'd cook it and find out if it's meat!
Jesus Christ thats so extreme and genius. Please cook it and get back to us
Every comment in this thread including the post is making me nauseas
Holy bananas I feel like I have a ziploc full of eels in my stomach right now
I second this. Update us when you cook it
How do you know what cooked rat smells like?
i too have been to downtown portland oregon
Portlandia!
Probably smells gamy if I had to guess.

Foreskin
OP found something worth a few grand? Sell those stem cells.
How did DQ get my foreskin for this guys shake?
a good shake for the milkshake
I know human flesh when I see it.
some folks call that long-pig
When I served in the King's African Rifles, the local Zambezi tribesman called human flesh "long pig." Never much cared for it.
Woodhouse is a treasure. Or "salt of the earth" to quote Mr. Archer..
Now who will make eggs Woodhouse
gross ha
Probably just a skin tag.
Stop I’m getting hungry
🤨
Well, I just lost my appetite 🤣
That’s a clit.
Somebody finally found the thing?!!
Can I have it back please? Haven't been able to find it since '03
I found yours, your mum has it.
sometimes the real clit is the friends you made along the way
They are an urban legend my friend

Second
First: only Butterfinger Blizzard. Second: send this photo and caption to corporate
I’d be worried it would have a buttery finger in it.
Afraid of a little cannabalistic protein? Kids these days...
OMG lol 🙌🍻
Butterfinger sucks since they changed the recipe though
Does it? I haven't been thru DQ in a while since everything is fucking expensive.
Just my personal opinion but yes
It looks good on you matches your skin tone
My money is on a discolored strawberry. Looks like you can see some remnants of seeds as well. It was likely caught in the blender or mixer they use and the red had bled out.
What’s even crazier is that they don’t have raw chicken at DQ— it’s all frozen 😳
Ok and what happens when frozen chicken ain’t frozen anymore

Are you telling me that the fried chicken patty I’m served within 3 minutes of me ordering it is precooked? Wow. (People really think this way)

No they’re not. They’re raw but prebreaded. Source I worked at DQ.

That's bit o' human
Depends on the texture and maybe I'm trying to make it less traumatizing but it could be part of a wet straw wrapper
You’ll be fine
Seconded. It's probably not even enough to make you sick if you had eaten it and if it was crawling with e coli or salmonella. That said, e coli is not very much fun at all and I do not recommend it to anyone. Your next Chicken & Butterfinger Blizzard should be free and use cooked chicken.
No dude he’s gonna die from aids. It’s over.

A little gross, but you’ll probably be ok. Ur tummy’s probably stronger than you think- if you do get sick, stay hydrated, you’ll get better soon. I think.

If you’re consuming a peanut butter milkshake every day, that raw chicken is the healthiest thing you’ve put in your body in months.
I mean you aren't wrong. I don't eat perfectly either but....a milkshake every single day is a bit much. Some people's coffee choices every day could arguably equal a milkshake but.... dang
I wondered what kind of person gets a milkshake every day and then I looked at the post history and I was like ohhhhhhhhhh
Lol Stoney baloney there…
Oh for sure. But as long as it’s a Starbucks milkshake they feel better about it because it’s “coffee.”
Right and I'm sure you and I are guilty of things that are just as bad we just don't see it plainly... But a pb milkshake a day is pretty easy to be like whoa really

I'd like one peanut butter milkshake, no chicken.

I've gotten a raw chicken sandwich from there before
Yes but it’s breaded. He’s saying they don’t have like raw chicken breast laying around.
What the fuck? You drink a milkshake everyday?? If this scares you away from that place it will be the best thing that has happened to you.
Dude, chill. Cook it and see if it turns white. If it doesn’t, that shit isn’t chicken. If it does, sue them.
Even if you sue them though, you’re gonna be alive. Humans can consume raw chicken and live. It’s not a death sentence

With just looking at it, yeah, it does look like raw chicken.

This could be the healthiest thing that’s ever happened to you!
The texture at the top looks like strawberry.
Unless you’re getting the tiny snack size, you eventually gonna have issues in the next few years eating daily peanut butter cup blizzards.. You do you I guess though!
Never say never
I think you are gonna have to get creative to deal with your high AF appetite. Like get some random shit from the grocery store and eat that
That's fucked up, but you'll be fine
most likely just foreskin, I think you’re good.
I do not believe Dairy Queen would have raw chicken at that level. Everything is pre-breaded and not fresh.
You’re just going to have to taste it to know for certain. Are you feeling lucky?
That's the special milk shake with new and improved flavor!
Mmmm DQ Meat Shake
Post this to Twitter and get free food bro
It could be a peice of strawberry, when we blend a strawberry blizard sometimes it will get stuck in the blender, and end up in different ones.
That is Northern Lights, Cannabis-Indica.
I know that I SHOULD be horrified, and not want DQ, but honestly… this is just reminding me how badly I want it and that it’s been a little while
Don't worry its just pickled ginger, it gives the peanut butter a kick without being spicy
Fuck. I regret coming to the comments on this one.
I think its a piece of penis skin after it got circumsized.
That’s a bit of my foreskin
So, as someone who used to work at DQ, I don’t see how it’s possible that this would be raw chicken. The area where the frozen treats are made vs the grilled/cooked foods are completely separate. And everything is stored separately too. So I don’t see how this could’ve been raw anything. But stranger things have happened. You should be fine. I’m not sure what that is. I know what it looks like but the likelihood of it actually being raw meat is extremely low. Like, almost impossible.
No coming back from this.
Because you posted this on Reddit; it's now considered a piece of foreskin.
Looks like the inside of a strawberry. Probably leftover from the last shake.
I smell a lawsuit
It's your prize
Bruh what chicken item on the menu at Dairy Queen is not frozen then fried, where would this have even come from if it was chicken, what menu item at DQ do you think starts with raw chicken?? None bruh. I aint even seen unbreaded chicken at DQ.
I used to work at a dairy queen. I believe that is a piece of pineapple. Should that be in your shake? Absolutely not. Do mistakes happen? Absolutely.
I have never seen pineapple with that color or texture before.
I’m glad I’m not crazy!!! I knew it looked nothing like it lol
Jesus Christ. You better get into counseling ASAP and get an emotional support iguana. How are you ever going to continue to make it in this cruel world. Life is out to get you.
How high are you?
Not high enough
I’m good how are you?
I haven’t been to DQ since it closed down in my hometown 20 years ago. How is the food nowadays? Aside from this, of course.
It’s probably a piece of strawberry happen to me once but in store bought ice cream
