by Sean Beckingham with AI assist
If you’ve been anywhere near the internet this week, you’ve likely seen it:
The Rumour™ that McDonald’s puts almost the same amount of fries in every container size.
Small, medium, large — apparently the internet thinks they’re identical twins.
Is it true? Is it false?
We’re not here to solve it. We’re here for the fries and the fun.
And while social media debates geometry and portion-theory, Canadians keep doing what we always do:
ordering fries with anything and everything.
🍟 Why This Matters (A Note to Foodservice Operators)
Dear restaurants, caterers, and foodservice pros — a quick reminder:
fries still deliver some of the best margins and menu excitement out there.
And here’s a verified Canadian powerhouse fact worth knowing:
McCain Foods produces one in every four French fries eaten worldwide.
Yes — a Canadian company is behind 25% of the planet’s fries.
Which means when you elevate your fry game — better cuts, better dips, better seasoning —
you’re working with one of the most profitable, proven crowd-pleasers in the industry.
🍟 Final Take
Are McDonald’s fry containers part of a secret global conspiracy?
Probably not.
Are fries still one of the easiest ways to win customers and boost orders?
Without question.
Drama aside, Canada — keep supporting your local takeout spots…
and keep the fries coming. 🍟🇨🇦
