        You don't know how it was back in the day. Stuffed crust was brand new, and cheesy bread sticks hadn't been invented yet. You had to order a whole stuffed crust pizza to get that cheesy goodness, and we regretfully threw out the rest.

      mcdonald's french fries literally taste like cardboard, and have roughly the texture of it too. and yet i still couldnt imagine not eating them. im convinced ronald mcdonald himself place some kind of drug in those fries to make them desirable despite being entirely unappealing in every way

          This isn't true. Adding salt and fat to the natural starches in potatoes is plenty addictive—there's no need to make things up.

              I'm aware of how frozen fries are made. A couple second dip in the water doesn't suddenly turn french fries into cocaine. The sugar content is negligibly different from anything you'd make at home.

      Since their fries are so thin, I imagine they get cold very quickly when you order delivery.

        McDonald's burgers don't start very hot, so I'd imagine that's just as cold as the fries by the time you get it.

        It shocks me people order that shit delivery. I get feeling lazy and ordering in occasionally, but if you're already paying the outrageous doordash fees, kick a couple extra bucks and get something good.
