TikToker Indy Cree (@indy.cree) posted a video showing a small brown bag of fries from Five Guys, pointing out that the chain appears to have switched from its well-known white fry cups to paper bags. The video has since gathered over 1 million views. Her on-screen text read, “Want to know how bad the economy is doing… Five Guys using fry bags now.”
For years, Five Guys has been known for its generous fry portions. Workers are trained to overfill cups so that extra fries spill into the main bag. According to Brobible, the company even states on its website that “providing an extra scoop of fries has been a tradition at Five Guys since we opened our doors in 1986.”
