If you want to go "large", beware - upsizing your fries in fast-food restaurants does not guarantee you much for your extra money.
University student and McDonald's regular Allen Hsu wanted to find out if he was getting value for money when he up-sized his medium McDonald's combo to the large size after he became concerned at the similarity between the two sizes.
The 18-year-old counted the number of french fries in three packs of medium McDonald's fries and three packs of large fries and found his initial suspicions proved right - there were only 14 more french fries in a large size of McDonald's fries compared with the medium size.
Mr Hsu also found one pack of large fries had only one more chip than one of the medium servings.
"It's 70 cents extra to upgrade the fries so my friends and I decided to see if it was worth it. I don't think it's worth it any more for an extra three or four fries," said Mr Hsu.
Independent tests conducted by the Herald yielded similar results to Mr Hsu's experiment, finding there was only a 12 french fry difference between the medium and large sizes at McDonald's and, in terms of weight, only a 13g difference.
Boy everyone is getting over and I love Mcdonalds fries. Oh well medium for me.
