Just a paper bag now. At this point they’re gonna bring back the supersize but it’ll just be a large lol
At least it's good for our health?

You from the McD marketing department? 😂
Honestly, while there are a number of areas where I'm kind of irritated about shrinkflation, restaurant portions in the US are very large and have gotten much larger over the years. I'm not entirely sold that it'd be all that harmful for them to be smaller; they were considerably smaller for a long time.

Portion sizes have definitely gotten insane but raising prices while giving less product is not ok and they can fuck off. I won't even go into having to order from a kiosk or needing a tracking app to even try to get any kind of deal.
at least its cheap, right? riiiight?
Is that even one potato?
Looks more like a bag of paper but what do I know.
Thinks back to when I bought a Humungousize fries and just ate that for lunch.
“Humungousize?”
Weigh it before you complain I guess. Paper like this is better. And if it holds the same weight, all good.
I think the large should be like 2x the height but it's been a couple years since ive been in a McDs
I mean typically it's based off of weight not volume.
