McDonald's fans shocked to learn sweet and sour dip is made from 'worst fruit to exist'

A number of McDonald's lovers have been left completely jaw-dropped, after learning that the popular chain's sweet and sour sauce contains what some people have dubbed the 'worst fruit to exist'.

27-year-old Evan-May Gillott claims that she was left 'shaken' after coming into the knowledge that her favourite dipping sauce contained, fruit - having never associating the two in the past.

Sharing her curious discovery with social media users world-wide, Evan-May asked others to attempt to guess what the iconic sauce actually contained, before revealing all to other interested minds.

The Mirror reports that many were also left just as thunderstruck as her by the answer, with one positively aghast that 'the worst fruit to exist makes the tastiest sauce'. Taking to TikTok, in a video that has since clocked up more than 242,000 views and 13,000 likes, 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 went on to reveal that the fruity ingredient was in fact apricot, not pineapple or mango as some had wrongly guessed, leaving many of her followers in a state of complete astonishment. One person gasped: "I was 100% convinced it was pineapple, maybe cos they put it in the little tubs when you get a Chinese," while 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". [sic]

Meanwhile, 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."
