But if you thought your McDonald's eggs were cracked fresh when you order them, think again.
A man, who appears to work for the fast food chain, recently shared a video on his TikTok account showing how they make their scrambled eggs.
The man, who goes by Tizzy Tay, revealed that the eggs that they use come in a carton and looks more like orange juice than eggs.
He put a rectangle mould on the grill before squirting in a lot of liquid butter and then pouring the liquid in and moving it around until it resembles scrambled eggs.

The video has amassed over 3.5 million views so far.
But it's not only the scrambled eggs that are cooked differently from how you might expect, the user also showed how the folded eggs are made.
The folded eggs appear to come pre-made in plastic packaging, all the worker had to do was pop them in the microwave for a couple of minutes.
Other users weren't surprised by the video, one said: "Honestly I knew that when I was like seven so I stopped eating them.

"You can just tell cuz they like a sponge."
Another quipped: "Ok now this is reasonable and obvious."
A third chimed in: "Of course it's made like that, It's McDonald's, not a fancy five star restaurant."
And another user commented: "This is better than how I thought they did them."
McDonald's states on their website that despite being made from a package, the eggs are still real.
The said: "Oh, they’re real alright. Across all five styles of eggs we make, you can feel confident knowing they all start with a real egg."
Their website also states: "Our freshly cracked and scrambled eggs are cooked on the grill with liquid real butter.
"We also use the grill to heat our folded egg, which is previously cooked in our suppliers’ kitchens before arriving at our restaurants."
