I tend to be a stickler about French Fries.
They should like like a little stick. They should be just a little crispy. And you should never, ever pour anything over them.
Instead, place a handy pour of Heinz Tomato Ketchup at their side. Then take a French Fry, dip it daintily in the ketchup and eat it.
I fear I may be in the minority about this.
Indeed, McDonald’s believes it has concocted a new, impure French Fry that will enchant everyone whose mouth comes into contact with it.
It’s currently being tested in McDonald’s restaurants that are all near hospitals. I jest, naturally.
I present you with the McDonald’s Loaded Bacon and Cheese Basket of Fries.
Why are they called Loaded? Well, they cost $3.99, which, some might sniff, means you have to be loaded to buy them.
But that’s not the actual reason. These things are your ordinary, lovely, salty McDonald’s Fries with cheddar cheese sauce and applewood-smoked bacon poured all over them.
To me, this is sacrilege. To you, this is likely heaven.
