McDonald's Fry-Thru Only Serves Medium Fries & International Sauces

— July 25, 2023 — Lifestyle
McDonald's created a "Fry-Thru" to coincide with the start of FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, and it's a destination within the FIFA Fan Festival in Tubalong Park that's shaped like a giant box of the famous fast food side. Macca's Fry-Thru is styled like a box of fries sitting on its back, and it's surrounded by ample space for people to sit and enjoy a quick bite or take pictures.

Unlike the majority of McDonald's locations that serve up a wide variety of fast food favorites, this location only offers medium fries with either one of two World Cup-inspired international sauces: Outback BBQ and Wasabi Mayo.

This unconventional pop-up will remain open to the public throughout the World Cup, where it will attract sports fans and snackers alike.
