A fast food enthusiast has shared a McDonald's drive-thru trick for getting 'hot and fresh' fries every visit. The savvy TikToker, posting on the @healthyjunkfood page, claims that asking for unsalted fries guarantees freshly cooked chips each time.
According to the man behind the account, the method works because McDonald's will prepare a fresh batch when a no-salt order is placed. He advises customers to then request a medium cup and salt packets at the window, pour the salt into the cup, add the fries, and shake to season them evenly.
The hack also offers a practical benefit: the cup fits into a car's cup holder, making it convenient for on-the-go snacking. However, the tip has divided opinion in the comments section, with some users praising the idea while others remain unimpressed.
One McDonald's staff member commented that fries are 'usually always fresh', while another user suggested simply asking for fries to be cooked to order. It is worth noting that the TikToker is based in the US, and the effectiveness of the hack may differ in UK branches.
