I work at a McD's, our large fries come in 6oz tall cardboard boxes, not whatever the fuck that is. My only guess is that the area you're in has extra taxes on cardboard waste or a supply chain issue.

I keep wondering when the Reddit fad of bitching about McDonalds will end.
The food is shit. It has always been shit. There was never a time when the food from McDonadls did not suck. There was never a time when eating there was not a waste of money. There have always been better options including better burger fast food chains….
There has never been a time when it was a good idea to eat at McDonalds for a variety of reasons.
So like the idiot who keeps smoking it is entirely that idiots fault.
If you buy food from McDonalds it is entirely your fault.
STFU about it.
I think its people being bitten for the first time. I hadn't been there in years because theres not one near me. When I went a few months back I did do a double take checking the receipt with what I actually received.
I was expecting a low-end shitty budget option. The game changed and I didnt expect it.

I really wonder what they'd consider "small fries" then.
Two. Two fries is a small.

Fuck Ray Kroc, that whole company is rotten to it core. Stop supporting these giant shitty companies.
Bag of potatoes, a knife, oil, a pot and thermometer. Now you can have a snack that is a million times better and cheaper.
Double fry the potatoes for that authentic fish and chip style fries.
I know, I don’t eat like this usually lol. I’m just doing night shift and it’s only fast food and convenience stores open right now😆

McDonalds Rep: It's not really fair you dug up Andre the Giant to hold our large fries in your picture.
I'm actually pretty OK with this. Portion sizes were generally kinda oversized, especially for not-so-healthy fastfood.
You say you're OK with it, but are you also OK with the constant price hikes for less quantity of the shitty food?

Wasn't the large fries always a ripoff? I think someone showed once that it's only marginally more fries than a small fry.
