Im a former McDonald’s employee, I can’t speak for other McDonald’s over the world, but I’ve worked in two different locations, my brother my mom and my uncle as well, and we were all encouraged to under fill all Fry variants as much as possible, except if an official would stop by to check….

Five Guys is an unneeded test tbh. That fry sizing doesn’t depend on the size of the fries but instead the lack of size of the rest of your order so it has more room in the bag when dumped.

On Wednesday, he orders 1 of every kind of french fry order, and conts every last fry in each one, all while taking notes. On Thursday, he strands himself on a deserted island and takes notes on how best to survive in terms of murdering companions.

At Arby's, when I worked there the fry scooper wouldnt fit in the container when fully loaded, so you had to pick up less. And when rushed you didn't have time to do multiple scoops

Worked at Arby's myself for a while, even as a manager, and can confirm that a large and medium curly fry are the same. If someone mixed up these two, a fairly common mistake, you could pour one into the other and it'll still be full. I can't however say if this was intentional or not.

Over here in the Netherlands I used to order a supersized menu (Large) but always had issues with eating all the fries and also noticed that my 1 cup of sauce was not enough (but 2 cups of sauce was too much). So instead I went with a Medium menu and had found the perfect size. So for me at least they do have more fries in a Large than they do in Medium.

I work at wendys, we just use a big metal scoop and fill till it doesnt fit any more

Back, when McDonalds had a "Super Size", the carton was quite a bit larger than the other sizes, and it was often well filled, while the other sizes seemed to be inconsistent or underfilled. At some point, they dropped the "Super Size", and in fact, the Super Size cartons became the Large size. The medium size started using the large cartons, and even the small size started using the larger bags, that the mediums had formerly been occupying. In addition, maybe around the 2010's or so, they started filling the cartons and bags as much as possible. That meant that a small could potentially round your meal off nicely, depending on the store. As far as quantity, I haven't had any complaints about McDonald's quantity for a long time. I consider the Large to be excessive, and Medium to be fine, in most cases. I mainly order large, when I'm with a friend, that doesn't order any fries for herself, but likes fries. As far as Orange Hi-C, I'm just overjoyed that it's back.

I’ve always gotten medium fries and gotten the same amount and been happy with their size, and I mostly prefer Wendy’s as they have fresh fries now, and I love Wendy’s as my favorite fast food, and I always end up getting a few more in the medium anytime and the extras often sit on the bottom of the paper bag, and I’m sure we have the feeling we get when we watch food related stuff and then get the food for dinner later, and who would have thought Wendy’s would win for the lost fries

If I may speak as an Arby’s employee, we are told specifically when making fries to “fluff it, don’t stuff it.” This means we gently pour the fries into the box without cramming them in, so that also contributes to the extra space left behind.

In a dance competition for our school's so-called "festival of talents," our teacher fed us one fry (yes, a singular fry, one shoestring) each, and it was the coldest soggiest fry we'd all ever eaten. Thing is, we actually won. There's a running joke among the class now that if you want to win a dance competition, every member must eat a cold, soggy shoestring fry. *fixed a typo Edit: the whole class was a total of 50 students, and we were all one team. That's the reason for one soggy fry each.

I do love curly fries, but I only get jalapeno poppers and mozzerella sticks from Arby's. What I can tell you that there's a marketing trick that makes you buy the "medium" option just because it seems better than the "larger" option. It's the reason why so many cups and movie popcorn are so big no matter what size you get. At the same time, I don't really do fast food places too much since we have more diners in New Jersey which have some of the best fries you can get.

Burger king employee here: we get trained to try to fill the the frys and onion rings to make it full also the small fry bag is annoying to the heck to deal with with filling it up its so easy to rip as i try to fill it full so have to dump it back and try again. But dont get me started on the small onion rings its the same one and its so hard to fill up with a decient amount of onion rings becuase they dont fit well.

Former McD's employee here: We were absolutely told to "fluff" the fries. It was couched in the guise of "Don't pack the fries in, you'll crush them!" and "Would _you_ want smushed fries?" which is nice and PR friendly, and sounds like keeping an eye on quality for the customer... except I wasn't "smushing" fries in, I was delivering up nicely full containers of fresh, hot fries that I'd be happy to get on my tray any day of the week.

Hi Maccas worker here and at my store it really depends on the employee packaging the fries, if they’re good sure maybe but if there bad medium and large fries are way easier to fully fill with fries compared to a small packet. Small fries is probably half the amount of fries compared to medium

The problem with the McDonald’s small fry is that they never bother filling them as much as they can. The workers need to be quick, they assume if you want a small fry you don’t want many fries. One time I literally got six singular fries in my bag.

I have to get the small since I like a few fries, but just can't get through a larger order. Even getting through the small is hard enough.

Fry guy when I worked at McDonald's had to worry about getting fries out while also wearing the headset for one of the drivethrough lanes. So they would be jumping back and forth between those positions. Which often lead to either frys taking longer or being quick fill jobs... no one was ever told not to fill the larges up... the device McDonalds used to fill frys also could play into it as it's almost a fry funnel of sorts that often resulted in frys being pulled out of the cardboard when withdrawn.

This is the first vid I ever wached from Matt and then Just like that I watch every vid when there is a new one instantly
