Want fries with those three-pointers?

Once again, McDonald’s Canada and the Toronto Raptors are teaming up for the “Beyond the Arch” promotion, offering medium-sized french fries to fans every time the Raptors score 12 three-pointers or more.

But this time, there’s a catch.

Unlike last year, fans will now need to make a minimum purchase of $1 pre-tax of any McDonald’s item in order to collect their “free” fries.

In a news release from McDonald’s Canada, the company said, “Whenever the Raptors score 12 or more three-pointers in a game (home or away), fans across Canada (excluding Quebec) can score a free medium fries with any $1 minimum pre-tax purchase with the My McD’s mobile app between 11 a.m. EST and 4 a.m. the following day at participating restaurants.”

The minimum-purchase requirement comes after the Raptors achieved unanticipated success in the 2018-19 season and playoffs.

According to McDonald’s Canada, restaurants in Ontario gave away nearly $5.4 million worth of fries during the season and playoffs combined.

The company, which agreed to the deal with the Raptors shortly before NBA superstar Kawhi Leonard joined the team in July 2018, anticipated the Raptors would net 12 or more three-pointers in roughly half their 82 games of the regular season. This would equate to roughly 700,000 free fries — roughly 17,000 per game.

Instead, Mcdonald’s gave out two million fries in the regular season and more than 550,000 in the playoffs.

In one game alone — when the Raptors hit 13 three-pointers to beat the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the NBA finals — McDonald’s gave out 110,000 free orders of fries, more than six times what the company anticipated for the average game.

For those wondering, a McDonald’s coffee, tea or baked apple pie costs $1.19 each — the closest you’ll get to a $1 purchase.
