A viral TikTok video is revealing how you can make an order of French fries easier to eat while sitting in a car if you request the side be shoveled into a cup.
Internet personality Tommy Winkler, of Lombard, Illinois, who also goes by the nickname “The Food Guy” and shares videos on his many restaurant adventures, uploaded a TikTok video demonstrating the “#foodhack” on Thursday, July 13.
The 29-second video shows Winkler drove to a McDonald’s drive-thru, and he politely asked if he could get an order of large fries inside a large cup.

While there’s reportedly no laws against eating while driving, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration considers the multitasking behavior to be a form of distracted driving and the agency discourages drivers from doing it the same way it discourages texting, talking, fiddling with stereo, entertainment and navigation systems.
