Our sister site Kotaku already explained the phenomenon of "Potato Parties" at length, but here's a tl;dr: A sale on french fries at McDonald's Japan reduced the cost of a large-size order to a paltry sum that encouraged local kids to start throwing so-called "potato parties" which mostly consisted of buying ridiculous amounts of fries and spreading them "feast-style" across multiple trays.
This caused major delays in fulfilling the orders of other paying customers, not to mention made a huge mess that low-wage workers then had to clean up. Kotaku also noted that, in Japan, leaving behind uneaten food is considered not only wasteful, but also highly disrespectful.
Well, the Potato Parties have apparently made the leap to South Korea, where a photo of some pranksters chowing down on a table full of fries recently went viral. Unlike their Japanese counterparts, the Korean kids apparently shelled out a pretty won to realize their stunt — as much as 270,000 won (~$250), according to one report.
But the priceyness of the prank didn't do much to temper the outrage of the restaurant's employees, who ordered the "brats" to "stop causing trouble" and "get out of here." Support for the employees flooded Twitter and other social networking sites, with many excoriating the teenagers for their callous insolence. Some called on the perpetrators to be tracked down and punished, while others were merely content expressing shock at the "high number of glasses."

"in Japan, leaving behind uneaten food is considered not only wasteful, but also highly disrespectful."
^ the problem, this is pretty typical in a lot of Asian countries. The problem is their buying more than they need, and not eating it all.
Even Americans complain about people wasting food, but it's an even bigger deal in Asian countries. -
How the hell they even serve these ppl lol. Some of these muhfuckas ordering more fries than a U.S mickey deez will fry in 2 days

If you've ever watched Japanese porn you'd be familiar with their affinity for tentacles *shivers* ehh

Asians are so damn weird.

I don't see what the big deal is when I worked at mickey d's when I was in high school them middle school kids used to hold spades tournaments. them kids were louder than a ? too and we paid them no mind. so kids wanna have a French fry party so what?
