The Ultimate Guide to McDonald’s French Fries

So Much McDonald’s

From Wednesday through Saturday last week, I ate at McDonald’s every single night. First, it was Forensics. Then, it was our girls basketball sectional semi-final. Next, it was our boys basketball regional semi-final. Finally, it was the girls sectional final and the boys regional final. Although it’s a lot of fun when your basketball teams keep winning, the many road games haven’t been great for my diet. The upside, however, is that I was able to test out different dipping sauces for my french fries.

Dipping Sauce Discord

During our writing class a few weeks ago, Northwood students began to discuss the best way to eat McDonald’s French Fries. We posed this question to the rest of the class, and there was a variety of responses. I was a firm supporter of the “no sauce” approach to McDonald’s Fries, while my classmate Margaret argued that you have to go and get ketchup. Elizabeth needed ranch, and students from Prairie Farm dipped their fries in ice cream. Our class has been exploring this topic for weeks, and I was given a great opportunity to test the many dipping sauces out.

Wednesday

On the way home from our subdistrict forensics competition, our team ate at McDonald’s in Hayward, WI. I decided to order an Oreo Shamrock McFlurry, and I tried dipping my fries in it. It was disgusting. I highly discourage the dipping of perfectly good, crispy McDonald’s fries in mint-flavored, cookies and cream ice cream. However, I will not discount ice cream as a dipping sauce, because I enjoy dipping fries in vanilla ice cream occasionally.

Thursday

After the girls beat Hurley to move on to the sectional final game, I went to the Hayward McDonald’s for the second night in a row. This time, I stuck to the plain french fries after the horrible experience with the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry. McDonald’s fries are made with just the right amount of crisp, salt, and flavor to be eaten by themselves. Ketchup makes the fry taste like a tomatoey mess, and ranch overpowers the fry’s natural excellence.

Friday

After the boys upset Hurley in an exciting game, the bus stopped in Ashland for McDonald’s. This time, I received an extra packet of ranch (3 total) when I ordered my Chicken McNuggets. I decided this was a sign that I needed to dip my fries in it, and I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoy ranch with my McNuggets, and it wasn’t actually that bad on fries. I would still prefer to eat them plain, but it was nice to change things up.

Saturday

After the boys had another exiting upset against Mellen to win the regional championship, we stopped at McDonald’s. By this time, I had made up my mind, and McDonald’s fries definitely deserve to be eaten alone. However, I dipped a few of them in ranch. I think that the creaminess is growing on me.

Something we should all agree on

Whatever your taste in dipping sauce, we should all know when too much is too much. McDonald’s posted their own video of using ice cream as a dipping sauce, but the amount that they scoop out makes me sick to my stomach. If you do this, I am sorry for all of your friends and family.
