McDonald's enthusiasts, listen up!
A dynamic duo on TikTok, JP and Julia, who go by @HellthyJunkFood, are famous for sharing their fast food hacks on their TikTok channel.
In the recent video, JP and Julia tackle the eternal question: What's the right size of McDonald's fries to buy? and revealing a McDonald's trick regarding the ideal size of fry.
In the video, they showed the various fry sizes and their prices. A small fry sets you back $1.99, a medium at $2.79, and a large at $3.39. However, the real twist comes when the duo measures the fry sizes in ounces.
According to their meticulous research, a small packs 2.5 ounces, a medium boasts 3.5 ounces, and a large steals the show with a whopping six ounces.
Thus, for just $.60 more, the large fry is nearly twice as big as the medium fry.
A promotion for a $1 large fry awaits, and get this—it's reportedly up for grabs every single day until the year's end, with no purchase necessary.
JP and Julia drop the bombshell advice: steer clear of the medium if you "or you'll be getting ripped off."
The video quickly went viral on social media; many people were shocked to hear about the hack, while others backed up the duo's claims.
One person: Can’t lie, a large fry is a dollar here
A second wrote: They just make the medium fries to make the large ones look better, which is a very common marketing technique
A third commented: Real, real hack: order fries with no salt to get the fresh fries (ask for the side of salt).
Someone else said: I worked at McDonald's, and as an employee, for our lunch break, we can fit a whole large fried size into a medium size.
