The fast-food chain said Friday (January 7) it's running short of potatoes.
And that means customers can only have a small portion of fries.
McDonald's Japan say it's down to flood damage near Vancouver and assorted shipping problems.

As a result, it will only serve small fries for about a month.
It had to take a similar step during December at its roughly 2,900 branches there.
Disgruntled McDonald's customers may not know it, but they're at the mercy of global events.
