Agreed, someone describing something as McDonald's fries would not entice me as they are so inconsistent. Are they like the cold floppy fries? Or the bland unsalted ones that just taste like cardboard.

KFC and Burger King have stepped up their fries. KFC ones still have crappy texture but they coat them in some seasoning that makes them a lot more palatable, this puts them above maccies for me. Burger king the last few times I've been have nailed down the texture, crispy outside, fluffy inside, and they taste like potato.
