Why McDonald's Fries Taste So Good

The ones I had the other day tasted like salted vomit.

It sucks your blog isn't up anymore but don't go stinkin up this place with your inane day-to-day silliness.

:)

I had to drive to McDonalds at 11:30 pm to get fries because of this...

i was never really a fan of their fries...I think meepninja summed it up well, 'salted vomit'

wait...since when were there fries good? mcdonald's has the worst french fries out of any fast food chain i've ever been to.

I disagree wholeheartedly. I've never encountered such a popular and well-accepted fry.

If Burger King had kept their curly fries, though, they'd be unmeepwithable.

Arby's has the bestest curly fries EVAR! but i have never had BK curlies so i wouldnt know. but in regualr old fashioned fries, BK's are the best. especially with BBQ sauce.

McDonalds just makes me sick, literally. I can't eat it without feeling ill afterwards. Wendy's gets my vote for fries, but they have to be fresh and hot. BK would have been first but they meeped with their fry formula a few years ago and now they suck.

I love the greasy goodness of McDonald's fries. My soon to be ex-wife is a manager at one.

Did anyone read that whole article?

I couldn't read past the part where they stopped using beef tallow. (Heartbroken.)

What exactly make McDonalds french fries taste the way they do?

CHEMICALS

Grainger had brought a dozen small glass bottles from the lab. After he opened each bottle, I dipped a fragrance-testing filter into it -- a long white strip of paper designed to absorb aroma chemicals without producing off notes. Before placing each strip of paper in front of my nose, I closed my eyes. Then I inhaled deeply, and one food after another was conjured from the glass bottles. I smelled fresh cherries, black olives, sauted onions, and shrimp. Grainger's most remarkable creation took me by surprise. After closing my eyes, I suddenly smelled a grilled hamburger. The aroma was uncanny, almost miraculous -- as if someone in the room were flipping burgers on a hot grill. But when I opened my eyes, I saw just a narrow strip of white paper and a flavorist with a grin.

Sonic has the best in salty potato fried goodness (when they are fresh)

Fuk man, I ate at Sonics for the first time recently...it affected me in a very loving way.

I'D KILL A BABY IF SOMEONE OFFERED TO BUILD A SONICS IN MY TOWN IN EXCHANGE.

Some fresh salty Del Taco fries bring me to a better place. Unfortunately you only get fresh fries there almost never.
