The video, uploaded by itsosoprodigy, captures a customer's joy as a McDonald's employee happily refills his empty fry container at no extra cost. Numerous commenters echoed this experience, though it remains uncertain if this is a formal policy.
Some commenters insisted this is a company-wide practice, while others noted it varies by location and staff. McDonald's often prepares more French fries than needed daily, and some employees might prefer giving them away rather than wasting them.

Among the off-menu creations customers have tried are a grilled cheese sandwich, an eight-layer "Monster Mac," and a "Land, Sea, and Air Burger" featuring beef, chicken, and fish patties. Similar to the complimentary fries, these items aren't officially promoted, so while you can attempt to order them, be prepared for a puzzled look from the staff if they're unfamiliar.
