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.
JP and Julia reveal the reason why you should never order medium fries
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.
JP and Julia drop the bombshell advice: steer clear of the medium if you "or you'll be getting ripped off."
Several users were shocked after JP and Julia revealed why you should never order medium fries
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.
