More smart, sneaky, and super practical fast food tips
1. Ask for “No Salt” on Your Fries (Then Add Your Own)
Want fresh fries every time? Order them “without salt.” Since most places keep pre-salted fries under heat lamps, they’ll need to make a fresh batch just for you. Once you get them, just grab a few salt packets and season to taste.
➡️ Bonus: You control the salt content = healthier snack!
2. Customize Your Order—Even Slightly
Changing just one part of a menu item (like asking for no pickles, extra onions, or a different sauce) forces the staff to make it fresh, rather than pulling it from the pre-prepped lineup. This works at most chains, including McDonald’s.
