McDonald's fans have been left shocked after finding out what the fast food chain's famous sweet and sour sauce is made from.
Customers have expressed disbelief after discovering the McDonald's sauce contains what some have blasted as 'the worst fruit to exist'. TikToker Evan-May Gillott claims to have been left 'shaken' after finding out her favourite sauce contained fruit.
The 27-year-old had never even so much as 'associated' the condiment with fruit. She shared her discovery online and asked others to try and guess what fruit the iconic sauce actually contained.

Taking to TikTok, Evan-May asked her followers: "Am I the only one who didn't know what fruit it is made from until today?" The TikTok user then revealed that the fruity ingredient was, in fact, apricot, not pineapple or mango as some had wrongly guessed, leaving many of her followers astounded.
The video has since gone viral and received a major reaction online. One person gasped: "I was 100% convinced it was pineapple, maybe cos they put it in the little tubs when you get a Chinese".
Another reflected: "I said mango so confidently. I had no idea that it was even a fruit this is all. I eat, and I would never think". A third declared: "No wonder I don't like it! Curry girl till I die."
Evan-May recalled: "When I found out it was apricot, I was shaken to my core as didn't even associate it with fruit. I've eaten sweet' n' sour sauce from McDonald's for years to go with my chippies, I've always loved it.
"About a week ago I won a free meal through monopoly and whilst eating the sauce I just became curious about what it was actually made of. So I read the ingredients and was completely shocked to find out it was from apricots."
"I've never actually thought about it, but now I'm wondering about all sorts of condiments - I mean what about brown! They're just so elusive."
She added: "I assumed that everybody wouldn't know as well, so had to share my discovery with my fellow McDonald's lovers. Turns out everybody is as surprised as me, and I've even now found out the curry sauce uses apricot as well."
