What happened to McDonald’s french fries?

Growing up in Montana from ages 2 to 18, dining at McDonald’s was a treat, as Mom cooked dinner nearly every evening. Big Macs and french fries were the best things ever (besides Mom’s cooking, of course), and the fast-food chain would even become employment for one summer during high school.

So what has happened to McDonald’s once-stellar fries? They were part of dinner Sunday night, and they were soggy and cold seconds after exiting the drive-thru. This isn’t just a recent occurrence, either. At other McDonald’s outlets in other cities in recent months, the fries also were soggy and cold, as well as flavorless.

It’s a french fry fall from grace for McDonald’s. Is the Hamburglar to blame?

Zip’s Drive-In was never a fast-food favorite during college at Gonzaga, and a second or third visit in this lifetime happened just last week – and talk about missing out! The crinkled fries were perfectly salted, crispy and delicious. Sonic Drive-In’s tater tots have been a longtime favorite, and Jack in the Box’s fries taste like tater tots, so we’re good to go there, too.
