Viral TikTok Video Shows Five Guys Hack For Getting A 'Free' Cheeseburger

It's tastier when it's free

Interim Deputy Editor (News)

There's a clever way to get some delicious free food at Five Guys — and no, it's not by eating your weight in free peanuts.

A food TikToker is winning hearts and bellies with a clever hack for getting a "free" cheeseburger at the restaurant after he figured out which items are free on the menu.

User @hellthyjunkfood explains the trick in a viral TikTok video that's been watched more than 3.6 million times this week.

Spoiler: some assembly is required.

"At Five Guys, a cheeseburger comes standard with two patties and all their toppings are free," he explains in the video.

"Next time you go to Five Guys, order a cheeseburger with all the toppings on the side and an extra bun... Extra buns are free."

That last bit might sound surprising, but @hellthyjunkfood has the receipt to prove it and yes, it did cost "zero dollars," as he put it.
