McDonald’s is set to give away free fries this summer, but it comes with a major problem.
To celebrate its 50th anniversary in the UK and Ireland, McDonald’s will be giving away free servings of the popular potato treats to fans across the country.
But there’s one major problem: you’ll have to be at one of the most popular festivals this season to get them.
The fast food giant hits the road to serve more than 2,000 free servings of fries each day to hungry festival-goers.
Along with the fries, McDonald’s is launching a range of exclusive products, including fanny packs, bucket hats and Wayfarer-style sunglasses, all free on a first-come, first-served basis.

Meanwhile, McDonald’s has been criticized by fans for “recycling” old menu items after the fast food giant unveiled its updated summer menu, which includes a number of familiar additions.
McDonald’s UK and Ireland will launch its new summer menu on May 29, but the announcement has already sparked criticism for what some customers perceive as a lack of innovation.
The new menu features an all-new burger, The Hat Trick Burger, which features three beef patties, two slices of cheese, grilled onions, mustard and ketchup on a sesame seed-glazed bun.
However, the excitement around the new item has been tempered by the fact that many summer menu items are repeats of old favorites.
