The video quickly went viral and sparked debate on social media
Many viewers disapproved of the practice. They expressed concerns about receiving reheated fries.
One person said: I’m a very non confrontational person. But I’m ngl, I’ve been given cold, soggy, completely over-salted fries too many times
A second wrote: Tip: ask for fries with no salt. All fries are pre salted so they have to make’em fresh if you want no salt.
While a third commented: Tip: freshly reheated !!! i be doing the same thing.
Another added: This is EXACTLY why I go in and watch my food cooked OR don’t even go to McDonalds. Reflashing fries is a definite no-no from health department.
Someone else said: Fine but if they taste stale I’m sending back again. I want what I pay for, people don’t play bout them McDonalds fries.
In response to the backlash, @prettygirlmiracle1 claimed the video was meant for entertainment. She didn’t clarify if the practice of reheating fries is common in McDonald’s. In one comment, she wrote, “Literally for entertainment purposes. Chill and just laugh, dang.”
Despite her defense, several McDonald’s employees in the comments admitted to using the same reheating tactic.
“No Salt” trick foiled
One viewer suggested a way to ensure fresh fries by requesting “no salt,” assuming this would prompt the staff to make a new batch.
However, employees countered this claim.
They revealed that they sometimes reheat the fries in oil, which they say burns off the salt.
This revelation suggests that even requesting “no salt” may not guarantee customers will receive freshly cooked fries.

While some customers may not mind reheated fries, others have expressed frustration with the practice.
