McDonalds is testing a spin on it's classic French fries, drizzling them with chocolate and calling them McChoco Potato. You can have your fries with two types of chocolate sauces: chocolate with cacao flavor and white milk chocolate.

McDonald's hopes this combination will give customers a salty and sweet harmonious taste, so the customer can eat them as a side to a burger, or as a dessert.

No kidding! One would think they’re hiring a bunch of millennials that absolute HATE McDonald’s and all it stands for, and are trying to destroy the company.

This is getting ridiculous.

Salt works with chocolate. Salt works with potato. Perhaps they think there's synergy...

Now, who did the product testing? Pregnant tasters on a craving binge? Or employees of the chocolate syrup supplier?

I live about a mile from a fabulous cafeteria that serves real food, like pork chops, roast beef, chicken, veal and incredible catfish. Real butter, real sugar and fat in the desserts.

Nothing says “I’m just giving up” than chocolate covered french fries.

the size of a burger has decreased at Wendy’s and Burger King too. I go to Backyard Burger for a normal size burger

Couldn’t agree more. I was just telling my boss (a chef) that if I ever owned a restaurant I’d use tallow for fries. He looked at me like I was insane. I suppose because of the price?

Before switching to pure vegetable oil in 1990, the McDonald’s corporation cooked its French fries in a mixture of 93% beef tallow and 7% cottonseed oil.

The dude in my tagline says, “Add shake of electrolytes to those chocolate-covered fries, and we’ll buy them.!”

We had chocolate covered bacon at a restaurant during the holidays.

Not everything is better with chocolate on it - bacon and fries are just two of those things.
