Raptors' NBA Finals Run Has Cost McDonald's Millions in Free French Fries

The Raptors' 2018-19 success and their NBA Finals playoff run have cost McDonald's restaurants in Ontario, Canada more than $5.8 million in free french fries as part of a giveaway tied to the number of three's Toronto scores in a game.

McDonald's gave out more than two million free medium-sized orders of french fries during the Raptors' regular season–nearly three times the 700,000 orders that the company originally projected, according to The Financial Post. In Game 1 of the NBA Finals alone, when the Raptors made 13 threes to trigger the promotion, McDonald’s gave away a record 80,000 free orders.
