When it comes to burgers, you can’t enjoy one without having a side of fries to go with it. Especially when those fries are nice and hot out of the kitchen.
For some who didn’t know, there has been a global shortage of potatoes due to climate change which has effectively changed the timings and conditions of grounds, preventing potatoes from growing properly as well as a supply chain issue due to Covid-19.
Unfortunately, we have some bad news for those who love having McDonalds. The franchise had announced that there will be a severe lack of fries in their restaurants due to the global shortage issue.
But worry not, McDonalds had offered an equally delicious alternatives to make up for the current issue.
McDonalds offers alternatives from their menu to replace fries
The franchise announced that customers will be offered a sundae or a warm Apple Pie as a substitute to their fries. Customers can choose either option in lieu of the side when ordering a medium McValue Meal.
Maybe that’s not as appealing? Customers can also order a Duo Set which is a 2-piece set meal of any food item with a drink and it starts from RM7.90.
If a fries shortage doesn’t concern you then you won’t be missing much. Meanwhile us monsters who love fries + ice cream would probably want to get some before it runs out.
