Deals On Fries For National French Fry Day In CNY

Shoestring, crinkle-cut, curly, wedges, waffle, steak, baked, fried, smothered, we love all fries, and Monday, July 13, 2020, is a day to eat as many as you can.

There are so many different ways to devour a steaming basket of french fries. We love ketchup, hot sauce, ranch dressing, vinegar, mayonnaise, honey mustard, cheese, sprinkle seasonings, loaded, the works, and whatever other concoction you create.

National Day Calendar says that "the term "French" was introduced to the potatoes when the American soldiers arrived in Belgium during World War I and consequently tasted Belgian fries. Since French was the official language of the Belgian Army at that time, it is possible the American soldiers began calling the fried potatoes "French" fries."

McDonald's: Washington Mills location says customers will get a free medium order of fries with any $1 purchase with the McDonald's App. Last year starting at 11 a.m., customers received a free order of medium fries with your meal when you order on Uber Eats, but it's not yet confirmed for this year.
