A viral TikTok video surfaced recently that revealed how chicken nuggets at Chik-Fil-A are made. Days later, another viral video hit TikTok and focused on Panera Bread. According to the Daily Dot, the video didn’t go in-depth about creating each menu item. However, it did reveal some things about food. The video provided a tour of the restaurant’s food prep area and showed frozen soups getting heated up. Additionally, there were glimpses of pre-packaged chicken and macaroni and cheese.
With the TikTok video surfacing and ultimately getting deleted, social media users responded in various ways. Some laughed about the moment, while others used sarcasm to make comments about soup. Of course, some Twitter users talked about frozen food long before the TikTok video went viral.

You mean Panera Bread doesn’t REALLY have 15 pots of soup cooking at the same time?! pic.twitter.com/XgNXXrRcos

Itโs very disappointing. A frozen pizza, which is what I suspect it is, would be just as OK. Certainly not worth the price or the trip to Panera to get it.

It’s probably all frozen anyway, just like the Panera mac and cheese and soups that’s in stores too.

Panera salads are always like half frozen and have soggy vegetables

Panera just told me they couldnโt serve me soup because they were currently making it and it would take 45 minutes. We all know you donโt actually make the soup and just warm it up

What they meant is that it takes them 45 minutes to thaw the giant bag of soup they just pulled out of the freezer
