Celebrate Fry Day with free fries on Thursday at McDonald’s…
On Thursday, McDonald’s invites you to free fries in honor of Fry Day.
The holiday falls on Thursday, July 13. In its app, the fast-food establishment announced that it would give customers free fries in any quantity on any occasion. No additional purchase is necessary, but app download and registration are required to receive free fries at participating stores.
If you order through the McDonald’s app every Friday, you can still get a free medium order of fries with any $1 purchase, even if you missed National French Fry Day.
If you want to pair your fries with something from the McCafe bakery, you’ll have to act fast. Three items in that category — the Apple Fritter, Blueberry Muffin, and Cinnamon Roll — will be phased out later this month, according to McDonald’s.
Customers can still enjoy their famous baked apple pie, chocolate chip cookies, and frozen desserts at restaurants nationwide, according to a spokesperson.
McDonald’s recently made headlines when it introduced a limited edition drink called Grimace Birthday Shake in honor of the restaurant’s purple mascot Grimace, who recently turned 52 in June. When the purple cocktail was introduced as part of Grimace’s Birthday Meal on June 12, it created a lot of buzz on social media and even sparked a TikTok craze where users made short horror films.
According to a tweet from McDonald’s, the drink’s “iconic color and sweetness” was “inspired by the iconic color and sweetness of Grimace” and had a “creamy vanilla soft serve blended with Grimace shake syrup and topped with light cream whipped cream.” According to editors who tried the cocktail, it contained hints of strawberry shortcake, cotton candy, and fruity pebbles.

A photo of a person wearing sunglasses and waving goodbye was posted by McDonald’s in a tweet on July 6, indicating that the shake’s promotion had ended. “You make me feel so special,” the caption read. The label playfully thanked the customers for making the cocktail special.
So whether you’re looking to sample free fries on National French Fry Day, enjoy leftover McCafé bakery items, or reminisce about the scrumptious Grimace Birthday Shake, McDonald’s continues to offer a variety of tasty treats to satisfy your cravings. Don’t miss out on these delicious deals and keep an eye out for more exciting promotions from the fast food giant.
