Wait, you eat fast food? Or any processed food? I thought you would only eat french fries peeled and cut fresh by hand using only knives forged from the most precious irons and made only with salts from the waters of Atlantis itself, and fried in only oil made from the rendered fat of unicorns freshly slain on the premises?
Except, even in comparison to other disgusting fast food fries, McDonald’s fries are horrible.

Remind me to give you the login information for HUTCH 2.0 on my board.
McDonald’s is the best fast food fry out there, hands down.
I would nominate Five Guys, except they take 25 minutes to get your order ready.
Well, technically, it’s just the title of the article, not my own personal opinion. But now that my own personal opinion has been called into the discussion, I also agree 100% with Reggie: McDonald’s fries are perfect. They’re a very, very rare treat for me and I avoid them like the plague, but oh man are they good.

i like the cut and style of five guys fries, but without loads of malt vinegar, they don’t taste too good on their own. fresh, but not deliciously tasty and fatty and salty.

INCORRECT!!
I (and Stacey, Sammy, and Jay) grew up near a pretty large IFF plant in Union Beach. My mom used to take me with her to do taste testing. Its also the reason people say you can’t eat the fish from Natco lake, a park right next to the plant. Though I suspect it has more to do with the proximity to the town of Keansburg, a 100% natural toxic scum producing facility and, it figures, where Sam is from.
Another thing about Five Guys fries is that they’re so damn HEAVY. I don’t know if it’s the way the potatoes are cut, or if its the peanut oil, but I get exhausted just eating the cup of them, let alone the rest that they dump into my bag.

On their own, they’re quite unremarkable.christina said:i like the cut and style of five guys fries, but without loads of malt vinegar, they don’t taste too good on their own. fresh, but not deliciously tasty and fatty and salty.

CORRECT!
Does anyone here remember a chain called Olga’s Kitchen that used to be in malls? They had outstanding cajun curly fries and they made really weird burgers that were long and thin and got wrapped in a spongy bread. I used to love that place when I was 7.

There are a ton of other legends about Natco lake as well. My favorite is that the chemicals from IFF have somehow changed the chemical makeup of the lakebed, turning it into a quicksand of sorts that will swallow you up if you attempt to wade into the lake. There are apparently a shitload of train cars, construction vehicles, and maybe even people, sunken beneath the murky waters as well. I don’t remember how they were supposed to have gotten there, though. Maybe a flash flood or something.
I’ve been in the IFF facility a few times as well. They have a robotic mail delivery system that seems pretty awesome. They also have what looks to be a really intense greenhouse/graden that you can see from the highway. I assume that they grow real shit in there so that they can study it and extract stuff from it so that they can make their realistic tasing chemicals.
Speaking of “natural” flavors, has anyone ever had these:
They will always blow my mind.

This gets my vote for Scrabbled Comment of the Year.
i love fries, but haven’t eaten mcdonald’s fries in at least six years. i used to like their flavor BUT they always left a horrible layer of grime in your mouth. ughhhhhh.
I’ll be eating McDonald’s fries for lunch (hangover cure) and I’ll think of this article.
