Happy National French Fry Day!

Getting sweaty simply walking out the door in this steamy weather? We're not sure if sports nutritionists recommend French fries as a way to replace electrolytes, but since National French Fry day falls in mid-July, hey, why not?

In honor of the occasion, several fast-food chains such as McDonald's and Wendy's are offering up freebies or discounts Wednesday for tater devotees across the country.

You should be aware that some require you to download their app, sign up for alerts or make an in-app purchase to qualify for free food.

Scroll down for deals that would make Billy Bob Thornton's "Sling Blade" character salivate.
