You know you're not gonna get a gourmet meal when you pull up to the Golden Arches, but you do expect it to meet certain standards, right? Well, it might be time to lower your expectations. These are the most cringeworthy things you need to know before you eat at McDonald's again.

We are, under no circumstances, telling you not to enjoy your annual Shamrock Shake. But we do want you to know why they're just called "shakes" and not "milkshakes." Snopes says there's been a rumor going around that the desserts can't be called milkshakes because they don't contain dairy products, but that's not true. They definitely use milk in those shakes… they just don't make them with ice cream.

Instead, they combine reduced fat soft serve, which may or may not be allowed to be called ice cream, depending on your state, with flavored syrup, along with whipped cream. It's designed that way to not just be fast, but also consistent across all McDonald's. So while you're not getting something that's quite as gross as you might think, you're not getting any real ice cream, either.

Watch the video for more on the gross things you should know before eating McDonald's again.
