McDonalds Is Giving Out Free French Fries
McDonalds is giving out free French fries. Did you know that this Thursday is National French Fry Day? McDonalds is known for some of the best French fries and they are ready to celebrate. Lucky for you, this means you get free fries. Who doesn’t like free food?
The fast food giant has announced they’ll be giving away free fries of any size, for one day only. No purchase is necessary to score the free fries, but you do have to place your order for them using the McDonald’s app. They’re available at participating locations across the country and you only get one per customer.
Not sure what they are putting in their fries, but they have been voted one of the best tasting French fries among fast food restaurants. Consumer analytics platform CivicScience shared findings from a poll that asked over 7,000 consumers about their preferred fast-food fries. Half of the participants chose McDonald’s fries as their favorite, making them the “runaway winner” among adults who eat fast food.
The five other major fast-food chains considered in the poll—Wendy’s, Burger King, Chick-fil-A, KFC, and Arby’s, didn’t even come close to McDonald’s. Wendy’s fries were the favorite among the second-highest share of poll.
In other news, McDonalds announced they’re going to be phasing out three McCafe Bakery items. If you want the Apple Fritter, Blueberry Muffin or Cinnamon Roll, you’ll have to act fast as they’re getting rid of them later this month.
