   Apparently it is well known that McDonald's fries used to be really good in the early 1980's and now they're garbage.

     @SlicerDicer they used to cook them in beef tallow is the reason.

     @SlicerDicer my memory is flooding back of how good the fries used to be, somehow. usually I can't recall flavors or smells.

     @Moon I remember having them as a kid and they were okay but at some point they just became soggy and gross.

     @Moon I know they changed it in like 1990 but I think they changed it since then too because I remember fries in the 90s being bomb, like the oil on them was so tasty
     
     Now they're okay

     @eris some guy ate mcdonalds every single day, and he had a heart attack and went on a multi decade political campaign to get food recipes changed at fast food places (instead of just not eating at mcdonalds every fucking day)

     @eris they are different than after the 1990 change, I don't think they're very good now. They're not revolting but they're about the same as burger king fries now, when mcdonalds fries used to be the best.

     @Moon @TeaTootler It's a accumulation of a lot of negative practices, it goes from carcinogen agricultural growing methods, feeding cattle plastic, treating cattle with chemicals and cooking with carcinogens like PFAs, aluminium and many more.

     @smartomato @Moon Nope, it’s for real. I’m very early Gen X (really Gen Jones but that never took off) and I can confirm from when I was growing up prior to college in the 1980s that MacDonald’s french fries used to be the best you could get aside from the specialty placed that use peanut oil, then at some point they went thoroughly average.
