Why People Are Refusing To Drink Chick-fil-A's Lemonade Again

- We all know that soda has too much sugar in it, so a lot of people will opt for iced tea or lemonade at fast food restaurants that offer them. However, a recent video has shown just how much sugar goes into Chick-fil-A lemonade, and it’s making a lot of people reconsider their drink order, but maybe they shouldn’t. When you really break it down, it’s not the overwhelming amount of sugar that it looks like at first. Lemonade only has a few ingredients, and sugar is a pretty important one, after all. Let’s take a look at why people are refusing to drink Chick-fil-A lemonade again.

Do you think the amount of sugar is worth it for Chick-fil-A's lemonade?
YES
Aleast Chick-fil-A isn't talking smack about the generic female voice of mashed.
"We need more" 🤯
Yes
@A Stoic's Door exactly! That's why this is a stupid Mashed post, duh, newsflash...sugar is in lemonade. What, is TikTok gonna post a video to show how shocked people are to find out how much sugar is in Coke or Pepsi. Stupid ass fks.
Do people think that's what is in a regular size drink?? Again...if you dont want "fattening" or "unhealthy" food...dont go to a fast food restaurant!!!!
Fast food is garbage
David Padilla you are too 😊
@Oh No oh no
@Oh No WTF
So y’all never made homemade lemonade before? This is so stupid
bro if you ever made a koolaid lemonade packet then youd know this shit is normal
Exactly.
Right?!
Bro you poor that much sugar??
@@kongrodriguez5419 Man for one koolaid packet its atleast a cup
Nobody is holding a gun to your head, if you don't like it then don't order it...
No I'm literally here at Fil-A with some guy holding a gun to my head. Been here for hours. What do I do?
@@mith2946 🤣🤣 Damn, I really hate it when that happens... 🤣🤣
Same
@@mith2946 What makes this worse is that it is a worker asking if they can get you anything and if you say no, the trigger gets pulled.
Lol
Everyone should know that it takes a lot of sugar to make lemonade or tea sweet. Duhh🤦
spicymame especially like 1 gallon of it
@@v4v819 soda* And have you never made lemonade?
@@v4v819 You must be joking 💀
James Appel just don’t order it
And we all know they won’t stop drinking sugar
Man, y'all are running out of content
It seems like people are really scraped the bottom of the barrel with these stupid things. All lemonade has a lot of sugar in it. Have you tried drinking lemonade with low sugar content it is bitter. I swear people find the stupidest things to point to, to justify not eating at a certain place. For goodness sakes don’t buy the dang lemonade if you don’t like sugar or news flash buy the diet option with Splenda.
Exactly.
Their food is overpriced and barely passable as edible. If I want a chicken sandwich that actually tastes great or some lemonade, I'll make them both myself.
Those fake sugars are worse to an extent maybe one little packet would be ok compared to this shit but still go with natural sugar not the fake like hfcs an shit like that that just kills your liver
I drank some Chick-fil-A lemonade this past Saturday! And I enjoyed the hell out of it! 👍😂
Yeah maybe people should stop trying to make a meal out of something like lemonade it has to have a lot sugga lol so you whiners out there need to get over yourself and not try to drink it all day everyday!
bruh you will get diabetes
@@asasad93 it’s not like he buys it every week calm the tf down
The guy that posted that forgot to include the 11gallons of water
mmmmm unless you got it on Saturday you did not drink it on Sunday..
As a former Chick-fil-A employee, I can't divulge recipes. But I can tell you it is the standard amount of sugar per gallon for lemonade as it is for most southern iced tea.
I work at Chick-fil-A, and yes that measurement of sugar is put in. But that huge container contains a LOT of lemonade! (And it’s mostly water, not just sugar). Also, the frosted strawberry lemonade doesn’t have ANY ice in it... so it might just depend on locations but Chick-fil-A deserves the love it gets :) Every single employee works tirelessly to benefit the guests!
Thank you the Truth
@Joshua Anderson lol how u know tho
It's just a way to make the haters have something to gasp about. I had to see what the next disinformation was so I bit and clicked it. The initial headline looks damaging and, unfortunately, it will be the only thing some people read - and believe- and that was the whole point.
God Bless the staff, management and owners of Chic Fil A who keep putting out good product and keep taking these punched with grace.
I raise a glass of lemonade to you!
Lauri Sabatasso thank you Lauri for such a positive comment! Cheers! :)
Oh No you find it bland?
Me who lives in a country that doesn't even have Chick-Fil-A or lemonade: *interesting*
Lol ok
@Bulimic Diet australia dumbass. we dont have chick-fil-a and we have lemonade but its different to yours, it is a soda drink
Imagine being braindead like this guy ->@Bulimic Diet
@Bulimic Diet Australia is The Land of OZ, life out there is simple and lacks all of the politicians that destroy everything...
@@ShezzasVideos vegemite must be delicious to u then! I've heard that stuff is gross to Not-Australians!
Sounds like you’ve never tried to make lemonade from scratch. Lots of sugar.....
There’s nothing wrong with treating yourself just don’t Live off it from Monday through Friday. Enjoy your life you only have it once.
Hey, I love Chick fi la’s lemonade!
I’m literally in the line at CFA ordering a lemonade while watching this
Nice can you order me something also lmao
GET ME WAFFLE FRIES!!!!!
😱😱😱
Lemonade in general is mostly sugar, I thought everyone knew that by now.
It tastes great! Yahhh chic fila .. love you, your chicken and your superfoods salad and your lemonade!!! Woohooo I’m having chic fila for lunch tomorrow!
Also mashed you gotta get your facts straight, a frosted strawberry lemonade has 0% ice, not 70% there is literally no ice that goes in the frosted beverages just icedream.
Mhm, i mean if they don’t want the thing that makes it frosted why ask for a frosted strawberry lemonade instead of a strawberry lemonade.
At least Chick-fila isn't using high fructose syrup other places use.
You know, thats actually a perfect arguement
Watches this...
Drives to chuck fil a*
“Let me get a lemonade.... OH... MAKE IT LARGE”
Why do people expect fast food to be healthy? Make your own stuff If you want it healthy, you eat at fast food because you want fast and cheap
The lemonade is perfect . If it's too sweet just add water
Now I want their lemonade even more 😋
Years ago when I worked at zaxbys, I was kind of taken aback when my manager showed me how to make the sweet tea. One large tea bag, brew it up, and then an entire 2lb bag of sugar.
Actually, "taken aback" is correct. 😂
I just had the mago tea lemonade peach passion fruit drink and I don’t regret it
It is delish right!?!
No one cares rylan, except for your heart....
I wasn't a fan of it, and will continue to throw gobs of money at their original recipe...
When someone is so appalled at the amount of "suger" in lemonade, it's clear they really need to spend less time in the basement.
These people act as if drinking lemonade once a month is going to kill them.
Their lemonade is awesome!!
This is completely and utterly not the truth i work there and our Lemonade DOES NOT get that much sugar and never should that is not the right portion sizes that restaurant is either doing it wrong or whomever just wanted to make drama online with that video the container first off should be filled up more than what it was to accommodate the right portion of sugar or splenda for the diet lemonade.
The people complaining be the same ones drinking sweet tea made in the mop bucket at McDonald’s💀💀 like byeee
On no I love their lemonade
Me too and now I can't drink it anymore! 😫
These People are Soft theses day so dont sweat it and drink as much as you want!
always mix it with unsweetened tea, perfect match
Queen Daisy yes you can, i mean they need to put a lot of sugar in the lemonade because they make a lot of lemonade in the container.
ruben champollion that’s good
My parents don't pay for chick fil a anymore
NukuNuku no they just don’t get it
This video is mislabeled. It should say:
"TikTok Video Shows How To Make The Perfect Lemonade"
Spoiler alert: it's called moderations! 🙄🧐
Chick-Fil-A in GA is better because their employees don't skimp on sugar!
Oh come on! Who would think of amount of sugar anymore after coronavirus?! Just enjoy the cold lemonade! 🍋
Next shocking news is all the sugar that goes into a Starbucks lemon loaf.
People will be like: That's too MUCH!!! I'll get a ChikfilA lemonade and a Chikfila sandwich
Good lawsuit for lost revenue
Wait... a fast food restaurant has an unhealthy drink that is not labeled a juice, that is full of sugar?!?! Oh my heaven! What are we to do?!?!
Honestly, if you go to ANY restaurant wanting to be healthy, the only thing you should drink is water or black coffee or black/green tea. Anything else will have sugar in it or a chemical substitute.
Ppl rly acting like they monitor how much sugar they consume
Me:Oh shit someone probably dropped a rat in it
Mashed: DEY PUT SUGAR IN MAH LEMONADE!!!???!!??
You probably won't eat their chicken either, if you found out how much MSG is in it.
My gosh....... It's LEMONADE!!! You gotta have sugar. For you pansies, they have unsweetened. I buy it by the gallon (sweet). I loooove Chick-fil-A lemonade😋😋😋
It's funny that they choose to complain about the amount of sugar in it, but ignore that Chick-Fil-A is one of the few fast food restaurants that actually makes real lemonade from scratch. Plenty of other restaurants just serve them from from the soda fountains, which are basically just factory produced syrups mixed with water.
I don't care how much sugar they put in it I will still drink it!! I love Chik-fil-A!! I don't eat there often but whenever I do it is always a treat to get a meal and endulge at home!!
Everyone is freaking out over nothing. Frankly, they are idiots for not looking up the nutritional info if they really cared about lemonade
just to be clear, as a chick-fil-a employee, the strawberry frosted lemonade, is NOT made with ice. Like the frosted lemonade its soft serve ice cream mixed with lemonade and strawberry topping. And we do offer diet lemonade mixed with splenda, which this video fails to mention lol.
This is like the subway tuna salad video. Have people not made tuna salad or lemonade?
Are you saying you put sugar in your tuna salad.....lemonade with sugar is the norm......tuna with sugar is not the norm
@@tonitoni2045 no there's a video about how subway makes tuna
I’m a current CFA employee in FL and we don’t squeeze our lemons anymore. We get our lemon juice in a bag and then we add the sugar to it. They are really cutting corners at corporate now and I’m not a huge fan
McDonald sweet tea sucks balls lol. They put no sugar in there and the tea has no flavor
It literally has a bigger ratio of water than it does lemons. You’re not gonna die from having a lemonade once in a while. People get way more sugar on the daily consuming processed foods. Fresh made lemonade won’t make that big a difference
Try some Southern Georgia style sweat tea. If it doesn't immediately put you into a diabetic coma, you did something wrong.
Not gonna stop me baby! I usually get it in a arnold palmer, half unsweet tea and half lemonade. Love it.
Ohhhh, so this is why my mother always tells me. "Always add water to your chicken fillet lemonade!"
*my mom says Chick-fil-A wrong...* 😂
mmm chicken fillet
Every one knows lemonade has a lot of sugar and if you don’t want it then don’t order it you can still eat there
Ok but like as someone who works there, the frosted strawberry lemonade has no ice in it. I’ve made a million of them. I don’t know what they’re talking about. 😂😂
Woah, who would've guessed that a sugary beverage would contain sugar? Personally, I can't believe that anyone would use a common sweetening ingredient to SWEETEN a drink that's meant to be sweet.
Breaking news. People discover they can just drink pure water if they wish to.
woah, that’s crazy. i’m still gonna drink their lemonade
Two things wrong in this video:
1. A 12 quart bucket lasts a long time and there isn’t that much sugar in the single lemonade your drinking.
2. There is no ice in the frosted lemonade.
Chick fil A’s regular lemonade is 2 quarts lemon juice, 11 quarts of water and approximately 2 to 3 cups of sugar this is per roughly 2.75 gallons of lemonade. Which realistically is an average amount for a lemonade recipe. Furthermore at my nearest Chick Fil A Lemonade is their number one beverage seller beating out soft drinks.
This is dumb... lemonade has a lot of sugar.
I'm just going to say if you drink lemonade and don't realize how much sugar is in lemonade (all lemonade), then you are naive; also half the stuff we eat in life would not be eaten if we watched how it was made even though it's perfectly edible otherwise. Remember folks everything in moderation.
Me: casually scrolling
Also me: reads the title and realizes that I had lemonade the day before at chick fil a!😬😦
Ummm are these people dumb they didn't know? It's extremely sweet how do they think it gets that sweet? Lol derrrr
The viral video should've provided zero new information. Anyone who tastes that lemonade knows how sweet it tastes, and if they've ever had a can of soda and looked at the label, they would know that something that sweet must have somewhere in the neighborhood of 50g of sugar in 12 oz or so. Out of a recommended allowance of maybe 300g carbs per day, 50g or 1/6 from sugar doesn't seem like a great idea for health.
I just have to metaphorically shake my head at the ignorance and stupidity of the average person.
I believe it. I can't drink the lemonade at Chick-fil-A until after the ice has water down the drink
Their lemonade is delicious, however someone put too much lemon pulp in my drink this time. I was so sad. It tasted like lime.
Stick to the diet soda then. No sugar. Or you know milk or water. All sugar free options. Just a thought.
I’ll say this at Wendys we didn’t add sugar to the lemonade but the sweet tea required a generous amount of it.
Alright for all you statistics loving people, here is the the insanity.
Lemons do have carbs (not a lot but some) according to a quick google search they have about 5.4g of carb.
According to most lemonade recipes to make a gallon of lemonade you need about 6-12 lemons so I went with 10.
So for a gallon of lemonade there will be about 54g of carbs from lemons which means for a 32 oz drink (A large at CFA) 13.5g of the carbs are from lemons.
According to Chick-fil-a's website there is 78g of carbs in the drink which comes out to having 64.5g of carbs from sugar.
In comparison a 32oz container of Mt. Dew has 116g of carbs which are all from sugar.
Here's the math
1 gallon=10 lemons
1 lemon=5.4g of carbs
10 lemons= 54g of carbs
1 gallon =128 oz=4 32oz (large drinks)
32oz CFA lemonade=78g of carbs
Lemons worth of carbs in 32oz CFA Lemonade= 13.5g carb
64.5g of carbs from sugar in a 32oz CFA Lemonade
116g of carbs from sugar in a 32oz of Mt.Dew
It’s not even the sugar that bothers me, it’s the fact that they use tap water
I love their lemonade
And half of these people probably drank a loaded Starbucks coffee with every ounce of sugar known to man.
..... how much they think is in a coke??!🥴
Exsacly...
Thank you sir.
*Looks left, looks right*
*Drinks the lemonade*
I just watched a video about Chick-fil-A lemonade I really need to go to bed
Puh-leeez!! That's the way it should be!!! Get over it!!
My order : LARGE LEMONADE, no ice. And, 2 large cups of ice.
Then, at home, put ice in glass
Fill half up with AQUAFINA and
Then add LEMONADE. Perfect
I'm more worried about them using tap water for lemonade.
It's terrible for you.
If you made homemade lemonade, you are aware how much sugar is in this beverage. People are surprised that lemonade is high in sugar? Wow
Went there the other day. Got a large meal with no ice. They gave me a medium drink with no ice. So i asked, why. They told me cause i asked for no ice. But i paid for a large. Reducing the fluid oz to save pennies. The ice machines contain fungus if not serviced correctly.
At least they use real sugar. It is safer to drink 58 grams of sugar per 12 oz serving of lemonade than drinking a 48 gram cup of Coke in the USA that is loaded with high fructose corn syrup. As soon as I moved to the Philippines in March 2020, my diabetes went away and I feel much better. No more Metformin.
People are acting like you're just gonna get a cup of moist sugar
McD's Tea: For every 1 gallon of tea a pound of sugar is added. Normally done in 5 gallon containers with a 5 pound bag.
People are Choosing to eat at fast food joint and then they are surprised the amount of sugar that are in the beverages 🤦♀️🤣 you don’t go to Chick-fil-A for a low sugar lemonade or a healthy anything🤦♀️
Whoever puts too much sugar, change the pitcher to a normal measuring cup
I'm sorry, but the Frosted strawberry lemonade is made with three ingredients.
1: Lemonade (Reg or Diet)
2: Strawberry puree (What goes into your strawberry milkshake)
3: Ice Dream. (CFA's ice cream)
There is NO ice what so ever in the drink.
So Mashed get your facts right first. :)
I don’t mind the lemonade other than the pulp, but someone once told me they use tap water and I dont drink tap water in Texas
Mashed, we can sense the biased tone of your voice and article. Chick-Fil-A will always be successful no matter whether you or anyone else leaves a spec of a comment regarding them choosing not to eat there. Of course there's going to be rediculous people who for their own reasons don't eat there. Is this really deserving of a article? Sugar in Lemonade? And water is wet 💦
Uh what’s really bad is how nasty the lemonade machine gets
If I ever have to wait at McDonald's, they give me a cup of their ice tea. It's so sweet I could easily drink a liter or two of water after that.
Doesn't make me want to stop... As the saying goes.. If it tastes good then it's bad for you.. But that doesn't bother me... I get diet lemonade !! And will continue eating at Chic a la !!!!
I love their lemonade I always drink it when I’m there. idk what the problem is 🤷🏻♂️
Sounds like they've always had store bought lemonade mix 🤣
Just checked and Chick-Fil-A stock is still rising and cars are backed up for a mile.
Guess people will always love them.
Odd it is the most profitable Fast Food Co. In the market
I don’t care how much sugar they put in it I love it
Lol there's no ice in the frosted strawberry lemonade 🤣 you mean ice cream?
I add so much sugar to my sweet tea that after eating a frosted cupcake my sweet tea is still sweet to taste. It’s been well over a year since I made it, but my sugar to tea ratio will never change. Sweet tea is supposed to be overly sweet.
