Ever wonder what $250 worth of McDonald's french fries looks like? Great news. Thanks to a bunch of kids in South Korea, you can stop wondering.

A sale on fries at the fast food chain inspired a group of kids to order a ridiculous amount of them, according to the website Rocket News 24. Their order was so massive, in fact, that the kids took over multiple tables at the restaurant with fries covering every inch of available space.


The french fry party may have been funny for those involved, but it appears to have peeved off the eatery's other customers, whose food was delayed. The kids got so rambunctious, that a fed up worker ended up telling all of the kids to leave, according to Rocket News.

McDonald's did not respond to The Huffington Post's immediate request for comment Wednesday night.

Apparently, "potato parties" are quite trendy at McDonald's restaurants across Asia. The low price of fries in Japan recently led to hordes of students descending on McDonald's and ordering massive amounts of fries as well. At said potato parties, attendees are required to eat all of the fries before leaving, according to the Japan Daily Press.

One group of kids in Japan purchased a total of 60 large orders of fries, according to Kotaku. (In case you're counting, that's 30,000 calories worth.)

ANYWAY, BEHOLD FRENCH FRY MOUNTAIN:

They must have some serious munchies.

I can never understand how people like McDonalds. Their food is horrible and their service is mostly crap. I can not remember eating their ever since I was a little girl but I accompany friends regularly and when I see the food and the service all I can think is: "Why not spend a few bucks more to get actual delicious food?"

I mean, I love fries. Just not the gross fries they serve.

Some ppl seem to think the french fries are the one good thing McD's does, though.

Ketchup is gross. McDonald's fries are good enough to be eaten without it.

Chilli sauce is the way to go tbh. For anything and everything.

McDonald's fries are my guilty pleasure. I can't help myself. They are only good when hot though and I can't imagine being able to eat all of that in a reasonable amount of time.
As long as they don't waste the food I don't see a problem with having these parties. It does suck for the other customers though.
