It’s the fries, stupid! Bring back the “unhealthy” fries!
Somewhere around '98 I noticed a change in fried foods from McD. It all tasted to me like there was some sort of cleaning solvent in the grease. Over the next few years, one by one, chain by chain, ALL the fast food places started using that same cleaning solvent flavored grease.
I think they should go all the way back to frying in lard. If youre eating things that aren't good for you then they should at least taste good.
