McDonalds is only around because they cater to children and poor's. If only you knew how badly you were being cucked. I worked for them for almost a decade back around the turn of the century. They used to cook their fries in beef fat, than they switched to a cheap oil one day and people complained for months about how shitty they tasted after. We used to regularly give out refunds because people would bring them back and say they tasted like shit. Eventually people just accepted the new shit taste and that is how capitalism rules the world. Everything gets shittier over time and we get mad on twatter for a few days and then just accept it and march along to the drum of our masters.

Arby's, I used to work at one and could eat all the fries I could handle that were being thrown out, we were a real slow place built into a gas station.

I never eat their fries, I make my own at home if I'm getting mcdonalds, I cut the potato and get it ready to go before I pick up mcDs.

I wouldn't get mcdonalds at all, but it's literally the only fast food place in my small town.

They literally have the blandest worst excuse for french fries. I liked them as a kid, idk if they'd changed at that point or not.

It is not a truth universally acknowledged that In-N-Out has great fries. Of course, as they come standard, they are dreadful. But ordering them "well done" makes them into potato matchsticks, something like pic related. Even better if you order them animal style.

imagine eating fries in (insert current year) when the nutrition facts and health warnings are literally a web search away.

ie oxidized fatty acids and cholesterol from your fatass fries, omega -6 fatty inflammation acids from your oil cooked disasters. You are riding up heart coronary alley every time you eat these retarded things.

When they're fresh, Five Guys Burgers and Fries. They're crispy and salty on the outside, soft and steamy on the inside.

That having been said I generally prefer Chick-fil-a's, not because the fries are better, but because Chick-fil-a is the only place where I can get Chick-fil-a sauce to go with my fries.

Sorry, that's not right. McDonald's used a blend of beef tallow and starch until 1990. A health-nut crusader who had a hard-on against cholesterol funded a huge advertising campaign claiming that McDonald's was literally poisoning America. Management decided the publicity wasn't worth the battle, and switched to vegetable oil (which was in fact no more healthy than the original).

This is the same management who caved to pressure from environmental activists to switch from styrofoam to paper (the production of which is just as harmful to the environment) and everyone said goodbye to their Big Macs staying warm by the time you got them home. They just wanted to be liked, is that so wrong?

The lawsuit you're referring to was in the early 2000s, when a Hindu vegetarian sued over the fact that they claimed the fries had no animal products, but in fact beef powder was added to the potatoes at the processing plant.

I had some rosemary shoestring fries from Burgerville her in oregon last year, they were really good, crisp and not overly seasoned. Had them again not too long ago and it was like someone tripled the salt and put way too much rosemary on them, it was like a one to one ratio of seasoning to fries. Shame too, I'd been looking forward to them and the second helping was a real let down.
