McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and more have Fry Day deals or free fries Saturday


The month for fried freebies continues with National French Fry Day Saturday.

The made-up holiday comes a week after National Fried Chicken Day and weeks before National Chicken Wing Day, held July 29.

According to a survey by Offers.com of more than 1,000 people, McDonald’s has America’s favorite fries with 43%, followed by Chick-fil-A at 18% and Wendy’s at 13%.

Then on Sunday, get ready for some comfort food. July 14 is National Macaroni & Cheese Day, also known as National Mac & Cheese Day.

Aside from the 48-hour Amazon Prime Day, which starts at 3 a.m. ET July 15, next week brings two made-up food holidays. July 17 is National Hot Dog Day and July 21 is National Ice Cream Day. (Hopefully, the #icecreamchallenge of licking ice cream and replacing the container in grocery store freezers will have gone cold by then.)
