This important, simple life hack will make sure you get the freshest McDonald’s fries

JOE

This is very handy to know for the next time you want a quarter pounder with cheese and chips from McDonald’s.

Former employees of McDonald’s have taken to the Q&A site Quora to share the secrets from behind the counter of the fast food giants.

These tips are worth storing in the part of your brain that deals with cheat days, cravings and hangovers, especially when it comes to chips.

So, what’s the big secret?

Mackenzie Shelton writes: “If you want fresh fries, order them sans salt. This ensures we have to make a new batch, just for you.”

So simple, and so obvious, yet we’d never thought of it before.

There were more tips for those of you who wonder just how long those burgers have been sitting out for.

By simply asking for a burger without one ingredient – gherkins, for instance – you ensure your burger is made fresh on the spot.

You should also request that your bacon is served well done.
