When you eat McDonald's chips, do you eat them one at a time, or grab multiple and eat them together?

I can't stand people grabbing a bunch and shoving them in, gives me the boak. Looks the state of this young girl shoving chips in on TikTok 😩

Yes, I know she's particularly disgusting in her manners, but is there a polite way to eat multiple fries at once?

I much prefer to eat them one by one just seems more polite to me.

But , I'm often wrong about stuff. So what's your choice and thoughts?

I'm sure she's lovely. Still eats in a ridiculous manner.

Bit of a tatty thread including an image.

But I also eat more than one at a time they're small and go cold quickly. I don't really take notice enough of how people eat for it to be an issue. I'm not saying I never notice but I don't care enough to post threads online for people to criticise people

Then I recommend you avoid Devour Power in your reels!

The irony of slating someone for being impolite and having no manners at the same time as slagging them off and re-sharing their image to bitch about.

FWIW, I eat chips one at a time too so wouldn't eat them like she is in the picture.....but you come across far, far worse.

Mmmhmm thanks for that.

Great question! I often contemplate this as I eat my fries in my car.

If you eat one at a time it takes ages and you don't get as much joy. I take maybe 2/3 at a time but I worry people can see. However, if they can see me but aren't in my car then they didn't pay for my fries so they can fuck right off if they pay any kind to how I eat my fries.

BeMoreBarbie · 09/09/2023 17:10

Urgh. Mind not kind.

Chips or fries? Chips are one by one.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 09/09/2023 17:18

Several at a time. Perfectly normal, and not disgusting. What a strange thread.

Motnight · 09/09/2023 17:22

I think that it's rude starting a thread to specifically criticise a young woman.

Hey ho.

Snittle · 09/09/2023 17:23

I eat them like in the picture, but wouldn’t describe it as “shoving them in”. I regularly feed McDonalds chips to my husband when he’s driving in the same manner. They’re very insubstantial on their own so it would feel like a weird MN-esque chicken-to-last-a-week graze to have them one by one.

FWIW, I also ate fish, chips and gravy at a canteen off a plate with a knife and fork this week and for most bites had two
chips on the fork. I know, the horror 😱

mumda · 09/09/2023 17:44

One at a time and dipped in sauce

MidnightOnceMore · 09/09/2023 17:44

I also find this thread to be less polite than the chip-eating under discussion.

SpamPie · 09/09/2023 17:51

Like my Matchmakers, two at a time and like a guinea pig nibbling on a carrot.

TheChippendenSpook · 09/09/2023 17:53

You're both wrong for not using a knife and fork!

BackToOklahoma · 09/09/2023 17:58

I’d agree with that OP.

Zero fucks given over here. Couldn't care less what other people's chip/fries eating styles are. I am weird anyway because I order the salad and forego the fries can you even call them fries I mean what the fuck are they?

Tryingtokeepgoing · 09/09/2023 18:50

Frankly if you’re eating food from McDonald’s you’re not really in a position to judge IMO 😂

Vitriolinsanity · 09/09/2023 20:08

Maybe two max, but I like them with a slurp of chocolate milkshake, which may just tip you right over OP.

Vitriolinsanity · 09/09/2023 20:11

And let's face it, it's McDonalds not Gordon Ramsey. Manners are the least of one's concerns.

FrangipaniBlue · 09/09/2023 20:38

Open my mouth, tilt my head back and pour from the box

CountryStore · 09/09/2023 20:39

I tend to shove several in at once. I do recognise that this is not a healthy or polite way of eating, though

LuckOfTheDrawer · 09/09/2023 20:41

I love McDonald's chips, they're much better than Burger King's.

Rockbird · 09/09/2023 20:48

Four bites to eat one Maccies chip??
