Food Theory: Never Order McDonald's Medium Fries!

The Kool-Aid Man is a Marvel character! ► • Food Theory: Kool Aid ...
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!

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

On Tuesday, he plays video games all day, and seems to repeat the same action over and over again, taking notes every time. On Wednesday, he orders 1 of every kind of french fry order, and conts every last fry in each one, all while taking notes. On Thursday, he strands himself on a deserted island and takes notes on how best to survive in terms of murdering companions.

Dipping your fries in your shake makes perfect sense. Sweet and salty has always been a well known combination. It's why adding salt to chocolate or caramel works so well.

Apparently bitter and salty is good too. I heard if you put salt in your coffee instead of sugar, it tricks your brain into thinking it's sugar and tastes sweet.

Over here in the Netherlands I used to order a supersized menu (Large) but always had issues with eating all the fries and also noticed that my 1 cup of sauce was not enough (but 2 cups of sauce was too much). So instead I went with a Medium menu and had found the perfect size. So for me at least they do have more fries in a Large than they do in Medium.

[@PigeonDetective]

Worked at Arby's myself for a while, even as a manager, and can confirm that a large and medium curly fry are the same. If someone mixed up these two, a fairly common mistake, you could pour one into the other and it'll still be full. I can't however say if this was intentional or not.

[@MaraKeumi]

When I was at McDs they told us to either squeeze the container or to shake them so the "extra" fries would fall out... i never did, and was constantly yelled at by management, even though we wasted atleast 1 bucket of fries every day (so about 100 mediums)

[@Weird_Axolotl]

We normally order small fries (cause supposedly the large McDonald’s is equivalent to the small fries) triple quarter pounder and 10 chicken McNuggets

[@deannal.newton9772]

I do love curly fries, but I only get jalapeno poppers and mozzerella sticks from Arby's. What I can tell you that there's a marketing trick that makes you buy the "medium" option just because it seems better than the "larger" option. It's the reason why so many cups and movie popcorn are so big no matter what size you get. At the same time, I don't really do fast food places too much since we have more diners in New Jersey which have some of the best fries you can get.

As a former McDonald's employee and manager in Connecticut. The Corprate people have told me that the Medium and small fry sizes were BOTH able to hold the same amount of fries. With that they always told us that the fry holders if they looked too filled we would have to dump them back into the fry bins and refill them with less fries to ensure that people were getting less fries for more money.

[@lucacuneo7218]

Doesn’t seem right, I am basically a mc expert and they are completely different. The bag of the small may be better but the medium is just so much larger. Also parents worked at mc and just don’t seem to add up

[@AnnaLVajda]

Yeah I always thought it depended on how generous they were with filling the container too same as sometimes I get a medium coffee from there and they don't fill it all the way and I feel ripped off.

Hi Maccas worker here and at my store it really depends on the employee packaging the fries, if they’re good sure maybe but if there bad medium and large fries are way easier to fully fill with fries compared to a small packet. Small fries is probably half the amount of fries compared to medium

Mcdonald's basket is just 2 mediums and the rest of the them goes to other orders do just buy 2 mediums and a basket bam you got a basket, as a former mcdonald's crew member our real basket is more like 4/5 large frise as when someone orders 4/5 large fries the frise bason is empty thats a real basket of frise youre being scammed

[@BattlestarGaraptica]

If I may speak as an Arby’s employee, we are told specifically when making fries to “fluff it, don’t stuff it.” This means we gently pour the fries into the box without cramming them in, so that also contributes to the extra space left behind.
