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.

However, the McDonald's app is allegedly where the real hack is.

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.

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.
