McDonald’s has unleashed its Mega Potato Fries on the citizens of Japan.
The fast food item, which is equivalent to two orders of large fries, has more calories than any other item on the menu. According to Japan Today , it’s actually the most caloric item that the restaurant has ever offered.
McDonald’s has released some interesting items on its international menu so let’s not call Mega Potato Fries the all-time calorie king but with 1,142 calories crammed into a comically oversized container let’s just say that you should eat at your own risk.
Japan Today writes : “The Mega Potato will set you back 490 yen (about $5) and also cost you a large chunk of your dignity and possibly a few years of your life.”
McDonald’s Mega Potato Fries have been available at limited locations for the last week and finally got their nationwide release today.
The restaurant doesn’t have any plans of bringing the Mega Potato Fries to the United States and judging by the company’s recent moves in America they probably won’t be bringing the high calorie item stateside anytime soon. McDonald’s has been trying to make its menu healthier in America with items like the egg-white McMuffin and a new chicken McWrap.
It’s very unlikely that they’ll start offering people 1,142 calories worth of fries anytime soon. Of course, you could just get two supersized fries. Unfortunately, you’ll have to get them in two separate containers.
