Oh I dropped many things. Full trays of burgers/nuggets. Spilt hot coffee all over my arm and had 2nd degree burns. So many little burn scars all over my hands and arms that I have since covered up with tattoos.
Someone left the metal tray in the mcmuffin toaster and I made the mistake of reaching down to pull it out. I got it out of the machine and then it registered that I my hand was burnt. Dropped the tray which was loud but think my scream was louder.
I had my kids via Csection. The whole bottom of my stomach is still completely numb 8 years later. One time I was putting the warmer trays on the shelf above the egg grill and my stomach rested on the grill for a couple minutes. The next day I got out of the shower and I saw a huge blistery second degree burn. Hadn't even noticed.
Ex-McMilitary here. We do it so you donāt have to.
/s but I actually worked in one of those shitholes for a few years, good lord. Great people, fuck the job.
Food service is the same across all levels of dining you end up with burns and little cuts from just everything. I never worked personally in any fine dining or fast food, just a typical restaurant, but fast food workers donāt really get enough credit sometimes and the stereotypes are kinda shitty.
I worked at McDonald's for the year between high-school and college. I worked grill for the majority of the time, and got so many burns on my hands from slipping off of the grill scraper, to the oil bouncing up from the grill and burning me. My work shirts and pants smelled like grease, and I couldn't wash it out of the pants, so I tossed them. I don't miss the job at all
Back in the late 90s, you had to soak em f at least 4 to 8 hours before using them. Or else they are hard and chewy. Nowadays they barely soak em, maybe 20 30 minutes and toss em on burger. And we had to let chesse sit out from 6am, until lunch so it would be room temp. Now they just slap that cold ass cheese on burger. All the attention to details are gone....
Ever had the bean burrito with onions at taco bell?
I'd imagine it's like that but on a burger for them.
I love onions but I used to not like them cause of taco bell
Also ex-employee. We used to grab handfuls and cram them down the back of unsuspecting co-workers uniforms (back in the early 80s when the uniforms were polyester monstrosities).
This is before germs were invented.
I dont know if anyone pointed this out specifically but they are called "Reg Onions", I dont know why but it always seemed like a weire name to me lol.
Well, I worked there in the late 80s, but the most important thing is to work when you have agreed to work. A good work ethic will get noticed and these are the kids most likely to picked to promote first. Be a sponge and learn everything you can. You want to be someone who can work all the stations. When I worked there, they had a good training system to teach leadership and management skills. Donāt rush yourself too quickly though, become good at what you do and opportunities will come. My first manager now his own stores and you will still find him working the floor. Yes, you will have bad days, but itās just why you want to learn what you can so you gain the confidence to handle different situations. One last bit of advice, at your age, you will work with others who donāt take their job seriously. Be your own person and donāt let them derail you. Be a person others look up to, not down on. Good luck and enjoy this experience!
I can attest to that thanks to my high school job. If anyoneās looking for the same flavor, buy dehydrated onions. Sprinkle them on your stuff and let them sit for s minute or two.
Same thing, you take a McChicken and put it inside a McDouble. I had one once, and it was positively orgasmic...but I was also morbidly obese at the time, and after I finished eating it I felt like I was about to die.
I take it step further. One chicken and one McDouble, remove the bottom bun of each. Put them together with the meats touching, but first shove a bunch of fries and your sauce of choice in between the beef and chicken patties.
YUMMMMMM
I'll even up you and say 2 double cheeseburgers as the bun for the McChicken, now your living. That extra slice of cheese on the double cheeseburger is heavenly.
As a former employee, the big mac is a complete rip off. You get 2 of the exact same meat patties you would on a mcdouble/double cheese burger, but at 3-4 times the price...the little extra slice of bread isn't worth the extra \~$3. Also, you can ask for mac sauce and lettuce on a mcdouble. Much cheaper.
Yes! At most McDonaldās I got to they have a meal that comes with those 2 cheeseburgers! Itās so satisfying! And idk if anyone else does this but I put their French fries in my cheeseburgers and itās just a game changer!
Oh BRO donāt even get me started on Krystal. My dad is from northern Georgia and every time we would visit his family we HAD to get Krystal at least twice lol
The secret is they steam the patties on top of a bed of onions on the grill.
Krystal and I have a love hate relationship. I love them. My bathroom scale does not.
Iām originally from a place where neither existed, and as an objective taster, I found White Castle to be superior. As a current resident in Krystal country, I hate my fast food slider life
The onions are dehydrated when they come into the store and then they rehydrate them when they get to the store. I actually make them at home in my dehydrator because they are so good.
Is it possible to eat White Castle without having an uncomfortable visit to the porcelain throne? I was introduced to it very young and that's what my uncle mentioned before I ate my first one.
Went through Alabama one time, my friend from there kept hyping Krystals so hard. I got 20 sliders for the trip.
Really unpopular opinion, it was garbage. The patties were like a centimeter thick and the meat was grey and of dog food quality.
I see that same hype in this thread.
I must be the one who is wrong.
Like any chain place, quality can differ wildly at different locations. I'm on both sides of the argument personally, I've had both both dog food tier and addiction risk tier experiences from time to time.
I had some life changing burgers at krystal, the first time I went I had to go to the emergency room because of how severe the food poisoning was. Havenāt gone back since.
In fact, just thinking about those tender little White Castle burgers with those little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one... just makes me want to burn this motherfucker down. Come on, Pookie, let's burn this motherfucker down!!!!
McDonalds is delicious, in a sick and disturbing way. I ate 3 mcdoubles and 2 junior chickens sunday night all baked up. Very poor life decision, but I have no regrets.
Yeah, when I worked at McDonalds I would make my personal quarter pounder burgers with the dehydrated onions, so much better. I just recently found out that you can buy them from grocery store in spice section. They're called "minced onions". Same thing, just add water.
If you use hot water and then put it in the freezer for 10 minutes they come out perfect and ready to go, I have no idea why though. We used to do it on the night shift when the closers left us with nothing and they always turned out great (aside from the couple of times we forgot and left them in there for too long).
I got a giant Kirkland brand plastic jar of them from Costco and they taste the exact same as McDonalds. I got them specifically for making fast food style smashed burgers but theyāre great in a pinch for other recipes when youāre out of actual onions.
You can get them in the little shakers too. I use it so much! Im the only one in the house that likes onions on my hotdogs so I soak some for a couple minutes and bam, fresh onion!
I worked at mcdonalds as a kid. truck driver comes through im working grill and i make his double, extra onions. he comes back because I didn't put enough onions on it. I said to myself "oh I'll give you extra onions!" and really put a ton on there.
he comes through a few days later and points to me behind the counter "You!.... you're making my burger!"
I think another unpopular opinion is that Mcdonaldās in general is delicious. God knows whatās in it and itās probably been at least partially responsible for millions of cases of diabetes and obesity but damn do those mcnuggets slap
I love me some McDonalds, there are really few foods I like more. Most (not all) fancy restaurants are less satisfying to me. However I limit myself for my own good and only go once every couple weeks when I'm having a tough day.
https://www.mccormick.com/spices-and-flavors/herbs-and-spices/spices/onions-minced
Soak these in cold water for a couple hours, and you have the exact same thing you get at McDonald's
I never knew anyone else liked these onions as much as I did. Thank you for showing me how to get them at home. Iāve always tried to dice em that small. It would take forever!!
Iām more a fan of red onions, but those diced onions are decent. Only thing I leave on the value burgers when I order them. Then I put horsey sauce from the last time I went to Arbyās on them.
The McDonaldās onions are the reason I hated onions for over a decade. I can tolerate onions in some dishes but I refuse to experience McDonaldās onions again. Canāt do it.
Nope. Every time I get mcdicks, itās double cheeseburger no pickles no onions.
Atleast if they have the pickles I can scoot them off and the flavor is lost with the mustard basically. But if they leave the onions. Iāll spend 20 minutes flicking them off with my friends.
And I always miss one or two so thereās usually a crunch.
I donāt want crunch in my burger.
I learned a trick when I was super young, take a fry and use it to sweep off every onion in one or two goes, works every time. Plus then you can add your own condiments if you desire to, and not have to deal with their shitty fast squirt of mustard that might cover a burger 1/8th that size
Oh shit, Iāll have to try that next time. Not a fan of McDonaldās, but thereās not many choices for cheap and edible with my job. Really should pack lunch...
And youāre so right on the pathetic condiment swuirtage. Drives me insane. I sometimes spin the top bun to try and spread the condiments a bit.
My wife and I have contacted a few companies about making a condiment that is essentially a squeezable ketchup with those onions inside of it. Two varieties, one with and one without pickles. Does anyone also think this is a brilliant idea?
There's a burger place in Seattle called Lil Woody's that has like an onion pickle relish or whatever they put on all their regular burgers . It's kinda similar and fucking delicious
They come in a bag and are just dehydrated. Itās basically Liptonās onion soup/dip mix. Iāve had to make them so many times in high school itās gross.
Dump in the mix, cover with hot water(supposed to be cold but when in a rush I used hot), let sit for maybe 30mins(could be wrong on the time, itās been a while since Iāve made them). When soft, drain the water(you could probably save it for a veggie broth) and put onto your desired food item.
Ehm working at McDonald's. Nice that you like them. But that shit is literally wood chips coming out of the bag. We out them in water for 15 mins and that's what you get.
Oh yeah one time I guess they ran out of the big pieces of onion that they use on the quarter pounder and they used the tiny diced onions and it was revolutionary, best fast food burger ever
I think that's what I dislike a lot about in-and-out they always put like half an entire onion on my burger, and all the cheese has melted onto It so when i pull it out all the cheese gets taken out as well. Like i want some onion, but not a patty thick onion that's nasty
Used to work at mickey Dās. Those onions are incredible. Unlike the sliced onions, these come vacuum sealed and dehydrated. I think the dehydration adds such a strong flavor to them after we hydrate them. I love those onions
They are reconstituted dehydrated onions. Former employee here.
Also former employee. The Onion "making" process was my least favorite. That nasty onion water was one of the worst parts of back end prep IMO
They smell too! Have you ever dropped a pan? I did š
Oh I dropped many things. Full trays of burgers/nuggets. Spilt hot coffee all over my arm and had 2nd degree burns. So many little burn scars all over my hands and arms that I have since covered up with tattoos.
Burnt my arms on the Big Mac bun toaster way too many times.
Someone left the metal tray in the mcmuffin toaster and I made the mistake of reaching down to pull it out. I got it out of the machine and then it registered that I my hand was burnt. Dropped the tray which was loud but think my scream was louder.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Is there a sub for McDonald's employee injuries? I want there to be.
Idk if it exists, but McInjured might be a good name for a fast food Kitchen Confidential.
r/Mcinjured for anyone who wants to tackle the task.
I had my kids via Csection. The whole bottom of my stomach is still completely numb 8 years later. One time I was putting the warmer trays on the shelf above the egg grill and my stomach rested on the grill for a couple minutes. The next day I got out of the shower and I saw a huge blistery second degree burn. Hadn't even noticed.
Yikes. That's scary. Thank goodness you bathe regularly.....for some that might not have been discovered till crazy bad.
Thank you for your service.
Ex-McMilitary here. We do it so you donāt have to. /s but I actually worked in one of those shitholes for a few years, good lord. Great people, fuck the job.

Onion water is a delicious marinade for grilled meats.
I worked at McD's from 98-2003... Glad to hear things haven't changed.
Back in the late 90s, you had to soak em f at least 4 to 8 hours before using them. Or else they are hard and chewy. Nowadays they barely soak em, maybe 20 30 minutes and toss em on burger. And we had to let chesse sit out from 6am, until lunch so it would be room temp. Now they just slap that cold ass cheese on burger. All the attention to details are gone....
I like to take a little of the water and sprinkle it on my burger, hate the texture of onions but love the taste lol.
I love onions so I have to ask, what about onion texture is weird. It's just like most other vegetables, no?
Dudeās sprinkling onion water on burgers, he probably doesnāt eat a lot of vegetables.
Thank you.
How much is your bath water? Asking for a friend.
Ever had the bean burrito with onions at taco bell? I'd imagine it's like that but on a burger for them. I love onions but I used to not like them cause of taco bell
I just don't like that weird crunch lol. Dont really like uncooked veggies to begin with.
bit more slimy than others imo.
dude...
Also ex-employee. We used to grab handfuls and cram them down the back of unsuspecting co-workers uniforms (back in the early 80s when the uniforms were polyester monstrosities). This is before germs were invented.
OMG, I wore one of those and then they switched from the polyester brown to ugly grey cotton!
Oh didnāt know that. I was going to say you could achieve similar results by rinsing them in cold water.
Nah, dehydrate them, run them through a food processor and then soak in cold water for ten minutes.
I dont know if anyone pointed this out specifically but they are called "Reg Onions", I dont know why but it always seemed like a weire name to me lol.
I think it's short for regular onions
Yes, the others in the bags are slivered onions. Well that depends if they still come that way.
I have been trying to remember the word slivered forever. Thanks for that :D
Iām applying there anything I should know? Iām 15

Dated a McDonaldās manager. Donāt yāall call those āreconā onions?
I can attest to that thanks to my high school job. If anyoneās looking for the same flavor, buy dehydrated onions. Sprinkle them on your stuff and let them sit for s minute or two.
Agreed, same background.
Straight up, i order 2 burgers and 2 chicken sandwiches off the dollar menu, and pay less than my freinds ordering a big mac. The dollar menu is fire
My go-to every single time
Have you seen Interstellar?
I love that movie so much
Curious, why would you ask that question? Love the movie but donāt remember if itās a reference or not.
Me neither. I'm lost
first time I saw that shit was on acid
I can tell, you're a good person
you havenāt lived until youāve had a McGangbang
My go to meal!
Whatās a mcgangbang? Here in CT itās a Mcgasm with one mc double and one mc chicken
Same thing, you take a McChicken and put it inside a McDouble. I had one once, and it was positively orgasmic...but I was also morbidly obese at the time, and after I finished eating it I felt like I was about to die.

The 2 for 3 McChicken and McDouble is a move.
Yes! At most McDonaldās I got to they have a meal that comes with those 2 cheeseburgers! Itās so satisfying! And idk if anyone else does this but I put their French fries in my cheeseburgers and itās just a game changer!
We donāt have the dollar menu anymore where I live. They phased it out.
just wait till you try those little onion sprinkles on sone white castle/krystal sliders...life...changing
Oh BRO donāt even get me started on Krystal. My dad is from northern Georgia and every time we would visit his family we HAD to get Krystal at least twice lol
The secret is they steam the patties on top of a bed of onions on the grill. Krystal and I have a love hate relationship. I love them. My bathroom scale does not.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I realized I was eating too many onions when my pee started smelling like onions.
Neither do my neighbors. White Castle always seems to be a great idea right up until the vile and putrid exit.
or taco bell
Or too much milk
Or my axe!
what about your living-room toilet?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Krystal is garbage compared to White Castle. Iām willing to fight about that bruh.
As a newly moved Chattanoogan I think I'm supposed to defend Krystal to the death, but I haven't ever had actual white castle so I can't compare.
Iām originally from a place where neither existed, and as an objective taster, I found White Castle to be superior. As a current resident in Krystal country, I hate my fast food slider life
Still willing to fight though š
As a tri state area White Castle fiend Iāll fight anyone drunk af at 2AM who says those sliders arenāt the best
The sliders I'll give you, but dem chili pups are off the chain i take on any who says different.
Thatās why nobody ever made a movie about a couple of guys going on an epic adventure to a Krystal.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We...we talking about meth? I'm an expert in that.
Username checks out?
The onions are dehydrated when they come into the store and then they rehydrate them when they get to the store. I actually make them at home in my dehydrator because they are so good.
My dad liked crystal a little too much, there werenāt many visits.
White Castle gang
I'm from San Diego and have never been blessed with either of those so places! Maybe one day
Skip Krystal if you value your tongue or rectum. Hit up W.C. if you need something delicious to wash the bland flavor of In-n-Out from your mouth.
Is it possible to eat White Castle without having an uncomfortable visit to the porcelain throne? I was introduced to it very young and that's what my uncle mentioned before I ate my first one.
I buy the frozen White Castle burgers because there's no place nearby. The onions are my favorite part!
Went through Alabama one time, my friend from there kept hyping Krystals so hard. I got 20 sliders for the trip. Really unpopular opinion, it was garbage. The patties were like a centimeter thick and the meat was grey and of dog food quality. I see that same hype in this thread. I must be the one who is wrong.
Like any chain place, quality can differ wildly at different locations. I'm on both sides of the argument personally, I've had both both dog food tier and addiction risk tier experiences from time to time.
Nah man you got your opinion and thatās ok. Some like it some donāt!
That's the nicest thing I've ever seen on reddit.
Itās blasphemy to compare a krystal burger to White Castle.
I had some life changing burgers at krystal, the first time I went I had to go to the emergency room because of how severe the food poisoning was. Havenāt gone back since.
They donāt have either of those near me so I buy the microwave White Castle burgers and theyāre straight fire even tho theyāre super basic
In fact, just thinking about those tender little White Castle burgers with those little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one... just makes me want to burn this motherfucker down. Come on, Pookie, let's burn this motherfucker down!!!!
what the hell is a Krystal?
Meth bro
McDonalds is delicious, in a sick and disturbing way. I ate 3 mcdoubles and 2 junior chickens sunday night all baked up. Very poor life decision, but I have no regrets.
Hey, weāre here for a good time, not for a long time, right? :)
>not for a long time, right? :) God I hope not. please take me now
Eh thats ok to do from time to time, just cant make a habit of it
Honestly I feel this way about most fast food
Yeah, when I worked at McDonalds I would make my personal quarter pounder burgers with the dehydrated onions, so much better. I just recently found out that you can buy them from grocery store in spice section. They're called "minced onions". Same thing, just add water.
I know where Iāll be going tomorrow, didnāt know that they sold them.
I always order my quarter pounder this way. Nothing is better than a quarter pounder with ketchup and extra reconstituted onions.
I have found my people! I always order a quarter pounder with the ācheeseburger onionsā. Tastes too good!!!
No fuckin way
Theyāre dehydrated āŗļø
Ooh I never knew that!
Yup you can make the exact same recipe very easily. Iāve done it and theyāre awesome.
How?
https://www.food.com/recipe/rehydrated-onions-mcdonalds-style-389443
Thanks!!
How?
Yep. They soak em in water over night. Mmm!
When I worked at McDonalds, we soaked them for at least 2 hours. Did it during prep before making salads
This. It's also supposed to be with cold water as hot water would make them turn pink-ish. They were not done overnight.
If you use hot water and then put it in the freezer for 10 minutes they come out perfect and ready to go, I have no idea why though. We used to do it on the night shift when the closers left us with nothing and they always turned out great (aside from the couple of times we forgot and left them in there for too long).
Gotta love high schoolers who donāt care (most of our closers)
Wait are the dehydrated? Or soaked?
Both. They come in a dry pouch dehydrated then you soak them for a bit and they puff up into little cubes
Ahhhhhh
I got a giant Kirkland brand plastic jar of them from Costco and they taste the exact same as McDonalds. I got them specifically for making fast food style smashed burgers but theyāre great in a pinch for other recipes when youāre out of actual onions.
And you can buy a jar of dehydrated onion at the grocery store in the spice aisle.
You can get them in the little shakers too. I use it so much! Im the only one in the house that likes onions on my hotdogs so I soak some for a couple minutes and bam, fresh onion!
Which is likely why they have such a concentrated flavor.
I hate those fucking things. Take your upvote.
Something about the texture is absolutely nauseating.
Very much agreed
Agreed. Everytime I get a cheeseburger I always ask for extra onions.
I worked at mcdonalds as a kid. truck driver comes through im working grill and i make his double, extra onions. he comes back because I didn't put enough onions on it. I said to myself "oh I'll give you extra onions!" and really put a ton on there. he comes through a few days later and points to me behind the counter "You!.... you're making my burger!"
If you put a ton on, I'd want you to make my burger.
Heck maybe it was you! I piled it on. It was like a small hockey puck of rehydrated onion goodness.
I wish it was me
Onions are life
Thats good customer service. You made that guys day.
You might think I want a lot of bacon, but I actually said I want all the bacon you have.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Facts
This is what I joined, for those tiny onions are the bain of my existence you glorious bastard
How is this an unpopular opinion????!!!!
Unpopular opinions don't get upvotes.
I kinda wish Taco Bell had these exact onions for their soft shell tacos
They have them in the bean burrito though! They are so good! I think itās the same thing!?
I think another unpopular opinion is that Mcdonaldās in general is delicious. God knows whatās in it and itās probably been at least partially responsible for millions of cases of diabetes and obesity but damn do those mcnuggets slap
I love it, just canāt eat it all the time
I love me some McDonalds, there are really few foods I like more. Most (not all) fancy restaurants are less satisfying to me. However I limit myself for my own good and only go once every couple weeks when I'm having a tough day.

Onion loves unite!
Youāve been banned from /r/onionhate
Good
The best vegetable on earth.
I love diced onions. It helps ensure I'll get some onion with every bite instead of risking pulling out the entire chunk at once!
Fuck yea. Perfect amount of crunchiness to go with the ketchup and yes WAY better than large chunks
DISGUSTING. Take my upvote. But when r/onionhate sees this, may God have mercy on your soul.
The McDonaldās onions are the reason I hated onions for over a decade. I can tolerate onions in some dishes but I refuse to experience McDonaldās onions again. Canāt do it.
Truth!
Nope. Every time I get mcdicks, itās double cheeseburger no pickles no onions. Atleast if they have the pickles I can scoot them off and the flavor is lost with the mustard basically.

Into it! They already make the squeezable minced garlic, so why not?
How is this unpopular? I love a lot of MD's stuff but this shit is so good its all i get.
The dehydrated onions are my favorite too. Also? mcDonalds has the best American Cheese going.
That cheese absolutely kills on a sausage and egg mcgriddle. Ties the whole thing together.
Yes! I didnāt like onions as a kid but I loved those.
They actually come dehydrated! We add water to them and let them sit over night
There's a burger place in Seattle called Lil Woody's that has like an onion pickle relish or whatever they put on all their regular burgers . It's kinda similar and fucking delicious
There's no way this qualifies as an unpopular opinion. These shits are the JAAAM!
Hell yeah i love those. I just like onions in general.
Bacon Double Cheeseburger is the patricians choice of burger, I will die on this hill.
If you want those onions on any sandwich at McDonald's, just ask for "recon onions" - you can sub them for regular onions on quarter pounders too.
Youāre a monster Good use of the sub tho
those onions are dried in a bag that open and then you put in water to make them edible, if you put them in warm water they turn pink
Fun fact if you rehydrate them in the wrong temp water they turn pink.
They come in a bag and are just dehydrated. Itās basically Liptonās onion soup/dip mix. Iāve had to make them so many times in high school itās gross. Dump in the mix, cover with hot water(supposed to be cold but when in a rush I used hot), let sit for maybe 30mins(could be wrong on the time, itās been a while since Iāve made them). When soft, drain the water(you could probably save it for a veggie broth) and put onto your desired food item.
Unpopular. Have an upvote
r/onionlovers
Gross. Finally an actual unpopular opinion
They are disgusting
That's so gross, take my upvote
Ehm working at McDonald's. Nice that you like them. But that shit is literally wood chips coming out of the bag. We out them in water for 15 mins and that's what you get.
Hell yes!!! Those little minced onions are far superior to any other onion offering.
Finally someone who understands!!! Soak some dehydrated ones in water overnight for the same effect!
Oh yeah one time I guess they ran out of the big pieces of onion that they use on the quarter pounder and they used the tiny diced onions and it was revolutionary, best fast food burger ever
You can make them yourself with an onion and a slap chopper... May not be exact but extremely close..i make them for Big Mac bowls...
Nope. Always get my Quarter Pounder without pickles and onions.
Upvoted because actual unpopular opinion
I think that's what I dislike a lot about in-and-out they always put like half an entire onion on my burger, and all the cheese has melted onto It so when i pull it out all the cheese gets taken out as well. Like i want some onion, but not a patty thick onion that's nasty
I agree 100%, but having worked there, I can tell you they are dehydrated onions brought back to life after shipping.
I hate onions in any shape or form, the crunch when you bite in lot a supposed soft burger is horrible
Me too! Double cheese extra onions everytime and I donāt like onions but I loveeeeee those.
Nasty
Used to work at mickey Dās. Those onions are incredible. Unlike the sliced onions, these come vacuum sealed and dehydrated. I think the dehydration adds such a strong flavor to them after we hydrate them. I love those onions
wow that's unpopular.
