    Fries are one of the best foods, especially fast food fries. From McDonald's and Burger King to Wendy's and Arby's, there are TONS of options to chow down on our favorite fried potato treat. Today, I want to figure out how to get the MOST out of my order of fries. Which restaurant gives me the most fries for my money and are their order sizes a TRICK to make us spend more on less food? I volunteered to eat my way through to the answer!

    As a former McDonalds employee I can tell you that we're told to underfill the fries so that they can make more money off of people, I've actually gotten yelled at in the past for filling them too much, but I didn't care and always filled them up with as many fries as I could when my managers weren't looking to give the customers what they were actually paying for.

    My professor had a friend at Georgia Tech who was getting his masters in operations research. For his masters thesis he decided he was going to find the optimal meal that you could get at McDonalds, with optimal meaning that you could meet your base nutritional needs for the day at the lowest cost possible. Hilariously after months of work he completed his model and ran it only to find that hundreds of ketchup packets was the “optimal solution” due to it having all the essential nutrients and being free

    I get (from McDonald’s)
    A happy meal with a cheeseburger ketchup only, small fry, apple slices, medium coke, SEPERATE FROM THAT, I will get a double cheeseburger ketchup and lettuce only, then when I get it I will take the top bun off of the double cheeseburger and take the bottom off of the single cheeseburger, and put them together to make a triple cheeseburger. All of that costs less than just buying the triple cheeseburger, and you get more food! (Pro tip: feed SOME (not all) of the extra burger buns to your dogs)

    On Wednesday, he orders 1 of every kind of french fry order, and conts every last fry in each one, all while taking notes.

    Back, when McDonalds had a "Super Size", the carton was quite a bit larger than the other sizes, and it was often well filled, while the other sizes seemed to be inconsistent or underfilled. At some point, they dropped the "Super Size", and in fact, the Super Size cartons became the Large size. The medium size started using the large cartons, and even the small size started using the larger bags, that the mediums had formerly been occupying. In addition, maybe around the 2010's or so, they started filling the cartons and bags as much as possible.
    That meant that a small could potentially round your meal off nicely, depending on the store. As far as quantity, I haven't had any complaints about McDonald's quantity for a long time. I consider the Large to be excessive, and Medium to be fine, in most cases. I mainly order large, when I'm with a friend, that doesn't order any fries for herself, but likes fries. As far as Orange Hi-C, I'm just overjoyed that it's back.

      At any rate, it seems that McDonalds has since my last post changed their cups of sauce to bags of sauce. So that made things even more annoying as I could dip my fries in the cup but now have to smear the sauce on my plate which makes a complete mess. It just made me not want to go to McDonalds anymore at first; but then I just bought a very inexpensive stainless steel cup with silicone lid, stainless steel straw, and silicone soda top all from Temu and put that in a little baggy in my car.
      That way, if I ever have the urge to go to McDonalds (maybe once every 3 months) I can now bring my own proper utensils; because their paper straws were also complete garbage and they now won't even put a plastic top on the soda either (and I like to take the soda with me in my car).

    As a Mcdonald's employee, I can say that they make us put as many fries in there as possible, there have been a few times where it's just barely under and they say put more in. Which is good. So, no we are not told to fill it under to save money.

      I tried this once. Eating as many as possible. I couldn't get past two medium fries. After that the third one actually started to get cold and wasn't as good probably because of "taste fatigue".
