Most Aussies have their Maccas game pretty down pat(ty).

We have our custom orders that give us the most bang for our buck, our dessert of choice and have mastered the art of chomping into a McChicken while commandeering the steering wheel with our knees.

We’re a pretty open minded bunch too. When new items hit the menu we usually go crazy for them, and we never miss a good bargain when it presents itself.

Heck, across the ditch (which is essentially Aus) they even rate Maccas coffee as their favourite brew.

However, sometimes life’s biggest secrets are hidden right in front of us, as is the case with the Maccas medium and large fries packet.

Twitter account Todays Years Old, which specialises in bringing a slice ‘woke’ to the everyday, shared the following photo which blew our collective minds.

RIGHT?! LOOK AT IT! There’s a flopping flap for the sauce! The entire abstract shape of the fries packet serves a greater purpose.

Now I know what you’re thinking- you’ve seen on the sauce packet above that it’s labeled ‘ketchup’- so this sauce on Maccas fires is just an American thing right? WRONG!

Aside from an genuinely disgraceful amount of fries given to this poor customer, there is very clearly a flap which can be utilised for all your saucy needs.

To be fair-sauce on chips is not on- but we hope you’ve appreciated this new information that is no doubt set to change the trajectory of your comfort-food habits.

Go forth and get fried.
