While there are some who will tell you that McDonald’s fries are a total scam, one TikToker has decided that it is time to debunk that myth.
If you are unaware, there is a common myth circulating the internet that the small fry and medium fry at McDonald’s are the exact same size.
Where do you stand on this one? Do you agree with the naysayers or do you believe that the fries are actually different sizes? Humphrey Yang is one TikTok user who has decided to disprove the notion and we are here for it. We would love to know whether we are wasting our money on the larger order of fries and we are willing to bet that a lot of readers feel the same way.
@humphreytalks is his name on TikTok and he serves as a personal finance expert. The man loves his McDonald’s, though, and he considers himself to be an expert on their offerings as well. Once he decided to compare the two, the McDonald’s expert was stunned. “I was shocked,” the caption reads and it is time that you learned more about this supposed discrepancy.
As you can easily see in the video, the small order that he obtained contained 44 fries and weighed 82 grams. On the other hand, the medium order that he was given came with 60 fries and weighed 111 grams. There is clearly a major difference here and we are glad to see that the myth is finally being debunked once and for all.
Humphrey even broke down the pricing by the gram. The medium fries are a tad more expensive, at 4 cents per gram but the small fries clocks in at 3 cents per gram. The difference would seem to be pretty negligible.
“It really depends on who is doing your fries though,” one commentator weighed in. “I’ve worked at McDonald’s in the past.”
Humphrey isn’t the only one to debunk the myth either. The popular TikTok account @streetcents shared a video back in February disproving the fry conspiracy.

@streetcents Fries or lies? 👀 #ClickbaitInvestigate #StreetCents #McDonaldsFries #Investigation #FrenchFries
At least we can finally offer a convincing rebuttal for the people who swear that the large and medium fries are the exact same size. These conspiracy theorists will simply have to find something else to pick at and we know that they will have no problem doing just that!
