French Fries

Facts:

Eight boys ordered $250 worth of french fries at a Tokyo McDonald's Restaurant. The McDonald's was having a sale on french fries so the boys were inspired to order as many fries as they could afford.

The larger than usual order of french fries was part of a trend sweeping Asia known as "potato parties.'' According to the Japan Daily Press, teenage boys descend on different McDonald's and order as many french fries as they can afford. Apparently, french fries are cheaper at McDonald's restaurants in Asia than at McDonald's in the United States. The only requirement is that the boys eat all of the french fries before they leave the restaurant.

For the $250 order the eight teenagers pushed several tables together and then poured all of the fries out on the tables and started eating. The teenagers made such as mess and made so much noise they annoyed others in the restaurant prompting McDonald's to ask them to leave before they finished eating the fries.

In another potato party in Tokyo, a group of teenage boys ordered 60 large orders of french fries, approximately 30,000 calories if you're counting, according to the Japan Daily Press.
