From Fast-food Chains To Megastores: Behind The Scenes - Free Websites, Share News And Posts Publicly

Good morning.

Did you know that when you order a simple meal like a burger, a pack of fries and a drink at McDonald’s, it actually takes at least 14 people to put your meal together?

Or that your favourite snack at Don Don Donki costs differently in different stores?

Here’s another nugget: A team at Pizza Hut gathers to taste around 10 new pizza flavours weekly, before one even makes it to the menu.

These are some surprising things we discovered about the places we thought we knew all there is to know about them. On The Red Dot brings you behind the scenes.

First, enter the minds behind Singapore’s largest Japanese megastore, Don Don Donki, and sports store, Decathlon. We unveil tactics these stores employ to keep you lingering and parting with your hard-earned money.

At our local theme parks, Wild Wild Wet and Uncle Ringo, discover what happens behind the scenes before you enjoy the thrilling rides – and why your fun may sometimes come to an abrupt halt.

Then, we venture into restricted areas in the libraries to discover what else you can borrow. What’s so precious in our libraries that it demands 24/7 monitoring?

Lastly, enter the kitchens of fast-food joints. Our team unveils secrets behind their operations and even taste-tested a new McDonald’s item that is still not on the menu at the time of writing.

We invite you to take a second look at what you thought you knew but you have no idea!
