Why don't they just rename it "family size"? It's a great size to share between 2 or 3 people. -Bob

I can order my meal and then top-off the super-sized drink to last me the rest of the day! Don't really care about the fries though. Once they get cold, yuck!

I don't know why, I honestly rarely eat fast food, but I've gone to McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's a total of five times since December. Well, I know why three of the times, circumstances. At any rate, I did go to McDonalds last week. I got a Big Mac and fries. Never had them before, sure as hell heard enough about them. First of all, it wasn't supersized, I don't think, I certainly didn't ask for that. It was like a BOTTOMLESS PIT. I could not believe how big this container of fries was. Sure as hell couldn't eat more than a quarter of them. Ate half the Big Mac, it was ok. But here's the thing. The fries were horrible. Easily and by far worse than the other two chains. I was suprised by that after all I'd heard about them over the years. nancy

I know about that, but the other chains seem to manage to put out a decent product. It wasn't even the oil they were fried in, it was something icky about them. Like they were fako potatoes. nancy

Used to be, before there were so many franchises, McDonald's had a single potato supplier. These days they probably use frozen tater products. But don't quote me, 'cause I don't work there. Jill

(laugh) Notice I still managed to eat a handful. Sometimes a good dose of ketchup can cover a host of ills. nancy

They used to be great but a few years back (I think) they changed the oil or the potato or something and the fries have never been the same. I don't much care about the super size thing because I seldom eat there. I do run through the drive through in the morning and grab a salad for lunch about once a month.
