Default Wendy's new "Natural Cut Sea Salt Fries"

Now for my opinion: They are better! I like them, crispier, more flavor... yum, Their old fries always seemed kinda soggy and super salty. I guess these new ones actually have more salt but they don't taste more salty.

Thoughts? Anyone else tried em yet?

I prefer the old ones. While McDonald's fries are better if you get them fresh; the old Wendy's ones staying power made them the best fast food fries around.

I don't like them, then again the ones I had were overcooked.

These are much better than the old Wendy's fries. Still, nothing beats a fresh batch of McDonald's fries.

Well that's a bit random.

But, on the topic of food, McDonalds fries destroy any other fries out there. Second place is KFC's crispy fries with gravy.

2 nights ago the guy offered them to me for free. I asked if there was really a difference and he said he didnt notice much at all.
For those who have tried them was there a legit change or is it a marketing gimmick

That's not random, it's a fact.
He said nothing beats McDonald's fries.
I can think of at least one thing that is orders of magnitude better than the best order of fries ever created.

Think of it this way. I'll bet you've had a few soggy orders of fries from McDonald's that you thought weren't that good.

Even the worst Bravo Juliette is pretty good.

BK uses a corn starch coating that's supposed to keep them warmer longer. Still crappy fires anyway.

I had no idea staying power was fry criteria? Do you doggy bag your fast food meals?

The worst fries in the history of fast food is Harvey's. They are so soggy it's uneatable.

Thanks for pointing out that it was a figure of speach.
Cause you know, it's not like I was playing off the fact that what he meant was not the literal meaning of what he wrote (holy crap, it's a proper use of "Irony") for the purpose of a joke.
