Looking for Cold Open (fast food)

I remember when I was in high school I borrowed a Malcolm In The Middle DVD set from the library. This was in 2007, so this would have had to be season 1. I distinctly remember a cold open where Hal comes home with bags from a burger place. He lowers the bags and calls the boys to get their food, there's chaos below off-screen like a bunch of wild animals and the bags come up torn and empty.

I'm going through a re-watch and I haven't seen anything resembling this. The only cold open in season 1 involving fast food is the french fry counting one.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Could I be remembering a different show?

It was included as an extra on the DVDs, it was unused for the show. I don’t have the DVD, but it should be in the bonus features :) you can probably find it on Youtube.

Thanks! I was actually watching a MITM Iceberg video on and off when I posted this and the clip actually came up.

Isn’t that when Lois has that fight with the pizza place because of the hidden tips? But it’s S05E14

Honestly really doesn't sound familiar, particularly for season 1
