Like most people, I’ve been going to McDonald’s my whole life.  Is it possible that we’ve been missing out on a hidden feature of McDonald’s French fry boxes for our entire lives?

Someone on Twitter posted that the cardboard flap on the top of the box has an actual functional purpose. You’re supposed to fold it back, and use it as a place to put your ketchup.

So is that the actual secret, built-in purpose for it, or is this just someone’s hack?  As of now, McDonald’s hasn’t weighed in, so we don’t know. We so know that the trick really does work.  Try it the next time you go to McDonald’s.

Dylan

10am - 2pm | My name is Dylan. Thank you for listening to BOB! I am the resident radio geek here at BOB FM. I live, breathe, and eat radio. However, when I’m not on the radio you can find me searching for local hole in the wall pizza joints, walking the streets of downtown at night in search of fun local music to listen to, going to movies, an occasional trip to Wendover, traveling, exploring, or just chilling at home with my little family. I LOVE talking on the phone! Hit me up on our studio line at 877-807-1007, or on your social media site of choice!
