    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.
