      Didn’t know that. Good to know. It’d been a damn long time since I’ve had some but there was one very nearby that was 24 hour and I thought my 3am stoned fries were in the clear

      Also, don’t they fry them in the same oil as the chicken nuggets?

        Considering the volume of fries and nuggies, I doubt it if anything for product consistency. Oil that’s had chicken fried in it will taste like it really really fast, there’s probably a hotter oil temp for the chicken as well. Most places that do a lot of frying will have one or some for fires and one or some used for other stuff, it’s just more practical.

          I’ve been in one of their kitchens and there was only one vat of oil, but I don’t know if they served nuggies here back then 🤷

    ah yes, freedom is when i beg the sovereign of my state to enact an edict upon SuperMegaFastFood Corp. telling them that all fried tubers must be cooked in the fat of cattle alone. you have to be so genuinely removed from reality to find this thought cogent.

      I’m trying to wrap my head around how they think the government is going to make McDonald’s go back to using animal fats. Like didn’t they (like most fast food corpos) switch to hydrogenated oils years ago on their own volition as a cost-cutting/profit-increasing measure? Do conservatives hate the free market now?

        Comrade, I hate to break it to you. They delight in cognitive dissonance. They only believe in winning and domination and will retreat to irony and farce when cornered. While you expend energy trying to extrapolate their perspective from their words they have already achieved their goal and have moved on to complaining about how wokeism is ruining competitive flower arranging or something.

        Conservatives loathe the free market. Media companies have decided to chase the rainbow dollar because it’s more profitable than not? Muh video games are woke, muh Netflix gay agenda, muh anti-male Gillette ad frothingfash

        I volunteer for the potato re-eduction job. I will round up the entire mid west and have them make potato salad right (no mayo, grainy mustard and red wine vinaigrette!) and those who survive can move on to fries.

      Are the breakfast combos still sold in styrofoam trays? I remember always having to be careful cutting hotcakes because it was very easy to cut into the styrofoam below, leaving (even more) microplastic fragments in my food.

    The original ™ McDonald’s French fries were an engineering feat like no other. Such delicacy and care went into the factories producing the finest mass-produced and processed potatoes, dashed with the most preservative compounds and finest hydrogenated oils in the nation. Fuck I feel like we might actually be becoming a real country again 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    First as a tragedy (chuds rushing to support chick fil a after their founder said homophobic stuff) then as a farce (chuds lining up to get E. McColi because Trump made it based and redpilled somehow)
