McDonald's customers in San Francisco’s Bay Area noticed a change in their large fry packaging, replacing the usual red cartons with paper bags. The unexpected switch has led to concerns about whether the portion size of the popular fries has been reduced.
McDonald's Customers Express Frustration Over Unannounced Packaging Change for Large Fries
McDonald's French fries are widely regarded as one of the most iconic fast-food items of all time, with many considering them the best in the industry. It’s no wonder customers reacted strongly after noticing a recent change to the packaging of these legendary fries.
In a recent Reddit post, a McDonald's customer from San Francisco's Bay Area shared that large orders of French fries (480 calories) were now served in bags rather than the traditional red cartons. The post included a photo of the new packaging labeled "Large Fries," which looked similar to the bags used for small fry orders.
The unexpected change stirred up customer concerns, notably since McDonald's had not officially announced an update to its fry containers. Some speculated that the new bags might contain fewer fries than the previous large orders.
"LARGE?? That is a lie. So sad. But the size is printed on the fry bag so I guess it's our job to adjust expectations," one Reddit user commented. Another lamented, "If that's a large fries, I'd hate to know what a small fries looks like."
Outrage Over McDonald's Large Fry Packaging Grows, But Some Say Portion Size Remains Unclear
The discussion generated considerable outrage, with some even calling for a boycott of McDonald's over the perceived reduction. However, other users pointed out that a change in packaging does not necessarily mean a decrease in the number of fries. Although the Reddit post did not provide exact measurements of the new bags, the photo showed the new packaging taller than a Big Mac box.
A McDonald's representative has yet to respond to inquiries regarding the reported packaging change and whether the new large bags hold fewer fries than the previous red cartons.
While McDonald's has not commented on this packaging update, the chain recently confirmed a similar change for another beloved menu item: the McFlurry. Earlier this month, McDonald's introduced a new "mini" McFlurry size and more eco-friendly packaging, aligning with the company's goal to source 100% of its primary guest packaging from renewable, recycled, or certified materials by the end of 2025.
