Celebrate National French Fry Day with Free Fries & Fun Flavors!

Calling all fry fans! Get ready to celebrate the crispiest, most delicious day of the year – National French Fry Day! This glorious occasion falls on the second Friday of July, which means this year, we’re fry-ing high on Friday, July 12th.

For years, National French Fry Day held court on July 13th. But in 2022, fast-food chains Checkers and Rally’s rallied the troops (pun intended!) with an online petition. Their mission? To convince the National Day Calendar to move the holiday to a more fitting day – a Fry-day, duh! And guess what? They did it! Now we can officially celebrate our love for fries on the perfect day.

Fries Reign Supreme: America’s Favorite Sidekick

There’s a reason why fries are practically a national treasure. According to YouGov’s list of America’s most popular dishes, fries come in at an 84% approval rating, second only to the almighty hamburger (at 85%). They also consistently top the charts on media polls, ranking #1 as the Best Deep-Fried Food and the Most Delicious Way to Eat Potatoes on Ranker. Fries are the ultimate crowd-pleaser.
