For those who love burgers, the instant side dish to pair them with it is a pack of French fries. And getting free fries would be like cherries on top of a cake, right? Well, it seems like your prayers are answered, as McDonald’s has decided to offer free fries for all, but only for its customers in the US and UK.
The announcement has created a lot of excitement among the burger giant’s patrons. So what is the offer exactly? According to reports by the Sun UK, from October 28, every Friday would be a ‘Free French Fries Day’ across all McDonald’s outlets in the US and UK.
The offer can be availed only via online order placement on the burger chain’s app. All one has to do is place an order of a minimum amount of 1 USD on a Friday on the app from their nearest branch and their order will be delivered with a packet of medium-size French fries for free. The offer is valid until December 2022.
