I have to say, the new Wendy fries are downright good. They make a great alternative to McDonalds, and can be eaten alone or with the meal. This is a vast improvement on Wendy’s previous offering, some of the saddest fries in the fast food industry. My only question
WTF took them so long? Did they have to wait 5 years after Dave died?
Personally I wanted them a bit limp. Or you run the risk of them breaking off. Limp enough and you can fold them in half, creating a loop that is perfect for conveying an increased amount of Frosty with each fry.
Of course, it is somewhat moot since it has been years since I’ve eaten at a Wendy’s. But still, it is important to me that this experience continue to be possible and and not diminished if I ever return.
Wendy’s fries were always my least favorite of the fast food chains, the only place were I would regularly skip getting fries. And they were always bad for different reasons, which I never understood. Either they were undercooked, overcooked, dry, greasy, too salty, not salty enough. I do like the new ones a lot more, although I would still put them behind McD’s and BK.
I liked Wendy’s old fries, haven’t had a chance to try the new ones. I liked the old ones so much, in fact, that back in the tight-budget college days when the cafeteria was closed on Sunday, my dinner would consist of a Biggie fry and Coke. Money well spent
I always liked the old Wendy’s fries, but I will say that they seemed to have the most rapid transition from hot deliciousness to sullen inedibility as they cooled. I would still rate them well above, say, Burger King and Whataburger’s offerings.
The new ones are…not bad, definitely not better than the old, just different. Personally, I find them a bit dry.
Now that I think about it, if one of the major fast-food joints would do crinkle-cuts, they probably would never see the end of me.
