PICTURE: Vanilla Obsession: Would You Eat In This Fast-Food Joint After Seeing This Photo?!

Again, not to be read if food stories make you feel a little shook...

This photo of what looks like a Wendy's fast food restaurant employee taking some ice-cream straight to the mouth from the machine has been posted on Reddit.

Wendy's is a US fast food restaurant known for its delicious Frostys ice-cream. So delicious you'll want to lick it straight from the machine.

Pull yourself a cone!!!

Bob Bertini, a spokesperson for Wendy's, told the Huffington Post that if the photo is real it's "totally inexcusable".

"We're investigating and will take action," he said.

This could be the start of an internet trend, as this Taco Bell employee was fired last month after a photo of him licking a stack of tacos surfaced on the internet.
