The fast-food chain is giving away free medium French fries every Friday for the rest of the year.
However, in order to take advantage of the deal you’ll need to download and register on their mobile app in addition to making a $1 purchase.
They are also running another deal for a free soft drink every Tuesday and Thursday through the end of the year.
Sponsored by the association of medical professionals in charge of diagnosing and treating obesity and type 2 diabetes.
MMmmmmm……
Free library paste shaped into rectangular sticks and then fried.
A bribe to give them your info when you register that they can then sell to other people? Learning business models from Suckerturd?
When my daughter was young, she wanted to go to McDumlds mainly to play in that germ infested play area. I always got her a Happy Meal, and tried to eat something that might not make me feel bad. The fish sandwich seemed like a healthy choice. Nope. Made me sick. So the green salad, Nope. so never again. I don’t know how anyone can be so obsessed with that shit.
Offer may be revoked at any time if Facebook or Twitter report that you have violated their policies.
Wow. When they have to start GIVING away their products to get people in to the store…
The Oregonian newspaper tried giving away “free” subscriptions years ago. Now they are down to about 6 half-sized pages published every other day! They gave up on their FREE advertising flyer too.
The end of McDonald’s as we know (knew) it. That, plus the ten-minute wait in the drive-thru for “cooked-to-order” burgers!
I just quit eating there after their ‘french fries’ underwent another change.
This deal is probably why they cheaped-out and made their fries dry, short and thin. They taste like flour and don’t even smell like potatoes. Blech.
No thanks. I’ll be at Del Taco.
MJA, Del Taco is making a big push back into the southeast, apparently. I saw one the other day, for the first time in years. Taco Bell just got too stoner trashy, I guess.
McDonald’s changed their model a few years back and it absolutely sucks for the worst.
Next, the goofs that actually like it and participate are frustratingly cuckold to it.
Here’s how it works. Have you noticed the double lane drive throughs? They suck in and of themselves because of cell phones and people who think a Honda Civic is 27ft long. So, as a result if I go to McDonalds, I want to eat in the dining room.
The new model focuses on and PRIORITIZES THAT STUPID FCUKING DRIVE THROUGH! It’s how they cover it up that’s most egregious. They do so by giving you a number and saying they’ll be right out with your order.
Yeah right, after you clear the fcuking drive through! I’ve seen it play out numerous times. Just look at the last car in line as you walk in to the store, take note of make, model and who’s driving. Now go place your order, then go look out the window, that car still hasn’t made it to the speaker to place an order. Now go stand at the counter. You will be told numerous times to take a seat, they will bring the order to you. I decline and wait at the counter. A few minutes goes by and guess who is now at the drive through getting their order? Yup, the last car in line before I placed my order! Meanwhile you wait for another 3 cars to get their order, before someone walks your lunch all around the dining room before finding you at the counter!
Infuriating! That’s why I avoid McDonald’s unless I am out and about in an unfamiliar area and just need a quick bite. That’s McDonald’s only redeeming quality, consistency and you know what you’re getting.
I’ve eaten at McDonald’s since I was a kid. We always placed our order and waited at the counter for it. Then you get your soda, napkins and ketchup before sitting down. When they tell you to sit down it screws up the flow. You sit at a table with no tray, finally someone dumps the food down and now you have to leave it sit there while you get ketchup and soda, etc.
Sorry McDonald’s, but the cyclospora was when I washed my hands of you.
So regarding the article. Friday is the day to avoid McDonald’s if you don’t want to be seen with the free shit crowd?
And another one now . . .
Another one rides the Bus
Another App for you
Or any App near you
Enough Fries for a Buck
Hey, We’re gonna get you too
This strawfree soda you will Suck
An App with all the cheeseboxes checked must be A-ok.
OldOaks is spot on. That’s exactly what happened to me!I waited with the grandkids for ten minutes inside before we got our order. And then they got it wrong, to boot. Off my list. Forever.
Free shit – All you need is this tracking app on your mobile device with permission to read contacts, photos, and location. The geo tag is read on your photos, your contacts are spammed and your location is sent back to the mothership for advertising on the side bar when you logon to social media accounts. And likely your microphone is activated when at a McDonalds location so they can snoop on how you decide what to eat (among other personal data).
Not for me.
McDonalds fries are the worst.
When we they were 15 cents for a burger 🍔
10 cents for fries 🍟
I used to enjoy. They went up to 18 cents for a burger when I was a college student.
I haven’t eaten McDonald’s food in years. I think the last I ate there was when I got an egg McMuffin and senior coffee for a quick breakfast.
Certainly would not crap up my iPhone with a McDonald’s app.
@Kevin R; Actually Kevin McDonalds fries are the best provided you get them within about two minutes from the fry vat and they aren’t bagged by halfwit who uses the scoop like a shovel breaking the long fries (this can also happen when throwing the box of frozen fries around when unloading a shipment or throwing them in the basket to fast). The trick is to ask for your fries without salt. This forces them to take some fries manually from a basket and they tend to be very careful. It also makes them wash the fry scoop and be gentle when shaking the cooked fries into the scoop and then into the bag. Try them then, they’re crispy and golden brown outside and soft and mealy inside with just the right amount of salt (because you’ve salted them). Best Fries. Do the same thing when ordering a few burgers. Ask them to cook them fresh as you don’t mind the wait. If the buns are fresh and the kid on dress has an eye it’s a great burger.
If you ever get a chance to see the movie The Founder, about Ray Kroc, it’s pretty good.
@ecp – If your phone is Android (I don’t do IOS), you can turn off/on various permissions app by app. For example, among other permissions, I don’t let Google use my microphone. When I revoked that permission, I got a few curt notifications that my phone (not just Google) might not work properly but I has caused no failures. I’ve gone through all my apps and revoked any permissions I didn’t want ’em to have. No problems.
I don’t have the McD app, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you could revoke contacts and photos permissions and anything else besides location and find that it works just fine.
They can give away all the imitation food they like. I’ll pass.
We used to collect veggie oil to make bio diesel. McDonald’s was one of the places we would never go to simply because they never change the oil until they absolutely have to when it’s one molecule away from being plastic making it almost impossible to process it into bio, and that’s why their fries mostly suck unless you get lucky and hit the day they do change it out.
Actually, I make fries at home like my mom did when we were little, and they really are so delicious (and easy).
On top of that my son is trying to avoid fast food (he admits he still wants DQ $5 chicken strips meal and Subway tuna sub at times), which is his doing, not mine (I have to admit), and I’m totally cool with that. I’m not interested in places going out of business BUT also not going to hand them money if it’s unhealthy or even just icky.
🍟 FREE FRENCH FRIES! 🍟
…with a side order of bureaucracy.
I can’t stand mcds. I worked there for 3 years years ago. Cook and dishwasher. Refused to wait on people. It was a good crew in a small town and the hours worked around my kids and the Mr.’s schedule.
Before my Russian wife got a handle on English, we were driving to San Antonio for a getaway. On the five hour drive, she looked at me and said, “Husband (that’s a common way for a Russian woman to address their husband), I hungry, I want kitchen nuggets from McDonald’s.”
