Why is it when you order any food at a fast food restaurant, there are a few extra french fries at the bottom of the bag? A friend told me that they have special bags with a few french fries in it. All I know is that when I finish my fries, I look in the bag and can always find a few more.

I've tested this theory by ordering a few sandwiches and some fries. With the fries carefully at the top of the bag, I removed everything to find a few fries hiding under the sandwiches. Hmmm..... Makes me wonder?!

Easy to prove or disprove. Just don't order fries and see if you still have some in the bag.

who cares. Just eat them. :)

What's up with two people posting the exact same thing --and the second one isn't even quoting then commenting on the first...

No, as the stupid, barely-minimum-wage-payed worker puts the fries into the bag, they probably do it sloppily and a few fall down into the bag. Or as the bag shifts around, same thing. The bags couldn't have fries in them, otherwise they'd have to be kept warm (otherwise you'd eat 2 day old stale fries), and if they were kept warm you'd feel it when you picked up the bag.

That's just the fast food little "bonus" you get which doesn't nearly compensate for the food completely left off your order, or wrong toppings, etc. Don't worry, just enjoy, unless it happens to a Taco Bell order :Q

Are you sure that those are French fries and not simply caterpillars (or very fat & juicy mealy worms) that wandered in the wrong place at the wrong time and got roasted? ;)
