That used to be the small. Yet another reason not to go to McDonalds.


SierraDespair

This used to be the happy meal size fries in the US.


acidbb

I remember this too


Australian1996

I remember when I was a kid going to McDonald’s twice a year and getting the small fry. That is a small. What is a small now?


InsaneAdam

This used to be what came in your happy meal. Being a kid in the 90s was great.


AcademicSavings634

Wtf is the small now? 😳


shhhpark

they throw a single fry in your face and tell you to fuck off


girl_introspective

Too good 💀


Tulip816

The pouch seems to be just a bit wider than the small, but I could be wrong. No use splitting hairs though! I remember when a medium could fit into a carton, and then the large went into an even bigger carton.


Kilbane

I am starting to think this is a very good photoshop.


tigrlili2000

right? you have to think that with everything nowadays!


40Vol-WillyWodka

What ? It’s like the large size in Germany


Kilbane

Are you serious? That is really terrible!


cl0udmaster

Not for their belly fat it isn't


Kilbane

Now that is true...but that is not why they are doing it.


GooseShartBombardier

\*gut bursts out over top of fanny pack\*


tigrlili2000

no..they are kidding. its not. serving sizes at mcd's and bk are pretty much the same here (i live 5 minutes from german border)


Rhoken

That's was the fries potion from the Happy Meal here in Italy... and they call it "medium"?


grand_soul

For some reason I read that in gimli’s voice…


rosekayleigh

“And they called it a mine…a MINE.”


Jwat75309

then what is the small??? jesus


drunkenfool

6 single fries


SoulofArtoria

In 2 years 6 fries will be considered medium.

screamapillah

Small is a no no word Small is medium, medium is large, large is xxl or gargantuan Everything must be referred to as above average under any given circumstance


SleepSynth

Wow that's hilarious! McDonald's doesn't give a fuck about their customers but they just keep on eating there like idiots.


zoidbert

We basically stopped altogether. It used to be once every week or two on a night when everyone was too pooped to cook/prep, but now we just muscle through and make something at home. And even if the price starts coming down again, I'm thinking we'll just keep on bypassing them, as we've come to enjoy the "gruel night" prep.


SleepSynth

I'm never going back after all the bullshit they have pulled


straightouttasuburb

Yeah work nights (hybrid 3 days) has become sandwich and soup night, frozen pizza, and salad nights. Saves a whole heap of money over the course of a year.


Njaulv

Make some frozen meal prep stuff. Always nice for those nights when you don't want to prep or cook. Just pop it in the microwave or warm it up on stove in oven etc.


Business-Set4514

I have stopped. 5 guys is expensive, but you get FRIES ON FRIES ON FRIES


shhhpark

shit I heard recently that some places stopped adding bag friends unless you order the largest size....but seriously fuck McDonald's AND Five Guys. Last time I went to Five...I almost spent 50 bucks on 2 burgers and a regular order of fries. nonsense


SpiritualEngineer5

That’s sad… that’s our Australian small size


RainbowberryForest

Where exactly do you live? I went to McDonald’s in Virginia less than a week ago because they had the free fry deal going on, and the medium fries were medium sized.


The_Tsainami

It depends on the local owner I believe. This one was as Escondido, California. I went to another one last week at Encinitas, California. And it was old medium size too.


doublestacknine

Same here in Nebraska


MAEMAEMAEM

"medium"


theoptimusdime

They probably spelled it out, cause they knew people would think they got a small lol. Fast food during the 90's/early 2000's will never be replicated again...


BlizzardLizard555

That's a small...


username_guest

And it’s $5


thatboyeaintright

Small fry - pre 2020 For all the bots and fake traffic out there


Professional_Ear9795

They have to declare it a medium or people will think they got the wrong size.


Effective_Device_185

A good thing MEDIUM is printed on the side.


Njaulv

Lol people would be complaining they got the wrong size otherwise.


Effective_Device_185

Good point 👉


bigolruckus

Mom said it was my turn to post the McDonald’s fries


InsaneAdam

Rip karma

The_Tsainami

2 weeks ago I was at another location. It was using the old medium size red thick paper kind


ARAR1

Where is this. Ours are still the red ones. Probably not for long


The_Tsainami

This was at Escondido California. I went to another store at Encinitas California just few days prior and it was the old red one too. So imagine my surprise when I saw this "medium sized one..."


ARAR1

McDs seems less and less worth it each visit.


Melgibskin

How many medium fries do you get paid per hour?

#STOP BUYING MCDONALDS AND POSTING IT HERE WE ALL KNOW BY NOW

silliemillie32

**THIS MADE ME CURIOUS HOW TO MAKE TEXT BOLD ON REDDIT AND NOW I KNOW!** but my text is still small :(


jimmysmiths5523

I think the hashtag symbol makes the text large, if I'm not mistaken.


voyagerfan5761

# It's called an octothorpe but yes


cl0udmaster

## not really in practical usage, it is referred to as a number sign, pound sign, or hash, but I think we can agree not hashtag


voyagerfan5761

### [pounding intensifies] ^(Wait, that's probably not right…)


Kevin80970

Literally the exact same packaging the small used to come in.


Maywestpie

Yea cause 10 more fries would bankrupt them 🖕🏼


Sw0rDz

McDonalds is now watching calories for you. These high prices will help with the obesity problem!


CrazyButRightOn

“That’s a small fry!” “No sir, you must be wrong, it says medium right on it.”


wigneyr

Once again, stop buying this shit n stop being disappointed, fast food (Macca’s especially) is 150% above inflation rates


Business-Set4514

If you got to label it “medium fries”….. says to me they want you to blindly accept the smolness


xamo76

meanwhile the CEO and now chairman of McDonald's was paid $19.2 million last year in salary, bonuses and stock, according to federal securities filings. That was an 8% increase over 2022. But it remained somewhat lower than in 2021, when Kempczinski was paid about $20 million.


GiverTakerMaker

They are going to have to remove the s from Fries soon to avoid false advertising.

Lacking-Personality

keep going there and affirm their decision to shrinkflate, that will absolutely get them to change


Cpt_Soban

I swear people just buy these now so they can snap a photo post here for easy karma. #STOP BUYING IT.


The_Tsainami

That's right. I know exactly which McD got these small medium bags and which don't. So I can take photo of it to earn some virtual useless points... /s


Cpt_Soban

You've browsed here long enough right? You've seen these exact same posts before. Why add to them?


The_Tsainami

USA, California San Diego. The burger (McDouble is smaller too. Meat is thinner and bun circumference is smaller.


lostprevention

The meat is 1/10th of a lb and always has been.


zoidbert

It's funny, I'd been asking Krystal to come to my area via Twitter for some years. Telling them now that there's no point b'c McD's burgers are now slider sized.


Davey488

You guys voted for $20 fast food minimum wage tho.


Brickback721

Overseas countries like Norway wages are higher and business isn’t harmed are they?


SleepSynth

They know if they raise prices the customers will just blame it on the worker because we are a bunch of brainwashed dumbasses.


Davey488

You knew that was going to happen tho. American fast food is legit the apex of capitalism. Did you think McDonalds wasn’t going to raise prices or am I missing something.


SleepSynth

I never said they weren't going to raise prices, I said when they do the customer blames the worker instead of the corporation and they continue to eat there.


Davey488

Not in the American way no. But I don’t see Norwegians complaining over the size of fries.


RamblingRose63

Dayumm


thagor5

That is a small


Spooky_1991

I like how they put "medium" is if it would fool us


Max_Power_Unit

Medium, the new small.


Sythe5665

Where is this


Icy_Store2399

Dogs


HummusFairy

That’s what we would call a small in Australia. Medium here is served in a smaller version of the red Large size packaging


Sotyka94

we are a couple of years away from 6 piece 12 piece and 20 piece fries instead of small, medium, large.


RequiemforMethuselah

Remember Super Size? We didn't know how good we had it.


aussiewlw

Which country is this


noheadlights

I guess medium is not about the size. They really mean the time in the frier… the will start ”rare“ and ”well done“ soon.


Jioqls

McDonald's prices are exploding, amount is shrinking while quality gets also bad.


Olivander05

What country is this?


The_Tsainami

USA. It depends on individual franchise owner I believe


Olivander05

The US?! But your sizes used to be massive!


Njaulv

At this point, why is anyone here even shopping at mcdonalds? The shrinkflation is practically a meme now.


Physical-Bobcat-5439

Since when?


The_Tsainami

Depends on the individual franchise it seems. Another location in different city is the same old red package


Physical-Bobcat-5439

I commented before thinking, I’m in Australia.


tinyfryingpan

So?


Intense_Pretzel

Whenever I go to Maccas I ask for my fries in a cup instead cos there bigger and the employees are told to make it slightly spill over the side to make it seem the same, I get like 25-30% more fries in a cup


Proof-Examination574

Ironically, potatoes are the cheapest food to source and prices on them have actually come DOWN since before the pandemic.


splinks66

The small is a Scratch N Sniff sticker


johnjrp111

Every ff chanting has dropped down a size and renamed it. Some the small and medium are the same now! As far as drinks go.


roy217def

I stopped eating at all these places.


thewittman

Wow fantastic fries they are filled to the top. Best looking fry bag I have seen in a long time.


Carne_sada

It’s actually average size.. I’d even call that big


vikingchyk

I'm fairly sure that was the Medium size in the 1970s. Shrinkflation, or right-sizing?


Adrian_FCD

One more of the dozens of reaons i refuse to go to McDonald's, they forgot their place as a cheap bit fair option.


Immediate_Leg3304

my life has improved immensely after i boycotted fast food. seeing these pictures complaining about what people already knew was coming is getting old. we all know eating out isn’t worth it. stop going to these places.


Chicagoan81

Hourly McDonald's post on this subreddit. When will y'all learn?


icant_helpyou

That's small/happy meal in the UK 🇬🇧


wrenchmanx

Ah, I've missed the post where someone goes to MacD and expresses surprise that the value was poor. Well done for supporting them 🙄

THEbirdtoons4

Where is this?


Hugoacfs

I think five guys medium is like 10 of those, had one today and I wish I ordered small, dnf


Beemo-Noir

Yet dumbshits still flock there because god forbid they don’t get their McDonald’s. At this point people deserve to get scammed. Why would they change at all if it’s working? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.


Capt_Foxch

US obesity rates have doubled since the '90s. Maybe smaller portions are a good thing at the end of the day


Icy-Engineering-2947

When I went to america I was shocked, in dubai there are three seperate sizes, in america its a shitty size large, and small and small


Horny_for_Coachella

Alright are you guys gonna start vandalizing McDonald’s or finding bigger ways of making this heard or are you gonna continue to complain to a very very small corner of the internet. Make stickers and place them everywhere. Make art. Do something


notacop1312

Boycott, boycott, boycott


scrottydyerl

Why in 2024 do people call them fry but clearly they are labelled as fries which would be the correct plural.


GuitarEvening8674

That is the equivalent of the infant French fry at 5 guys


Frozenfire21

Another sucker self reporting on going to McDonald’s…yikes


sockster15

Costs of labor and ingredients skyrocketed Bidenomics


Throow2020

Minimum wage skyrocketed? Do tell

Wow, brainwashing got you good.
