McDonald's chips are horrible anyway, why would anyone want more of them?

Biggles,

McDonald fries are revered as some of the best. If someone from the UK calls them crap, given their gustatory infamy, we Americans must need a severe slap across the face.

BTW, I never eat there.

In short they are selling smaller portions for the same price, yes?

Unless it is to disguise the taste of those "genuine cow fat" burgers. [/b][/quote]
Super-size meant ADDING about 40 cents to a Value Meal and getting MORE fries and MORE soda.

So uh..yea all the portions cost the same as they used to.

Why people want more "chips" is because they like them. Pretty simple.
The best fries are McDonalds and any chinese restaurant.

What&#39;s realllly weird is McDonald&#39;s burgers actually taste better now.

I still don&#39;t frequent them though.

They have the new salads and flatbread sandwichs which are very good but the dressing they give you has tons of fat in it.

In 1993, a New Jersey man thought he was making great use of his time by eating and driving at the same time. Having propped a milkshake between his legs, he leaned over to the passenger seat to get his food from a McDonald&#39;s bag.

As he did so, his thighs inadvertently squeezed the frozen liquid out of the cup. The sudden shock distracted the driver and the car veered into another. The blame was put on the fast-food chain, which should have warned the man against eating while driving.

Yes, if we British regard it as poor fare it must be really be looked at carefully.


If I am going to eat chips I prefer the big chunky ones from a good Fish and Chip shop (which, strangely, in Scotland are mainly Italian).

We call those chunky "chips" steak fries.

Even my kids don&#39;t like their food - mind you they love chicken pakora which is not exactly 5 portions of fruit either. At least they are skinny as rakes (my no food in the house fiscal policy has its upside - although I am merely being prudent rather than mean) [/b][/quote]
yes its pretty much across the board incress of price on everthing :/

What I&#39;m really pissed at is that they took away the big drink more than the fries, most of the time I would end up super-sizing to get the drink and throwing away most of the fries.

McDonalds fries are pretty good, but the fry award IMO goes to Wendy&#39;s. When you get a batch of Wendy&#39;s fries when they are fresh they are hard to beat.
