Overview
- A viral Reddit post claims the fan-like folds on McDonald’s sauce pots let diners flatten them into small bowls.
- Commenters reported surprise and said a partial flatten keeps the pot dip-friendly while holding more sauce.
- Manchester Evening News, the Mirror and Bristol Live reported the online tip on February 9.
- Separately, former McDonald’s corporate chef Mike Haracz said on TikTok that shake machines are often unavailable because refilling and cleaning take time during busy periods.
- Reporters noted no official statement from McDonald’s confirming the sauce-pot design or intended use.
