I must disagree. Certainly it was not a good business move to turn their fries into something nobody wants to put in their mouth.
This is all a joke, McD’s left the best way to cook fries in 1990, when it abandoned Formula 47 which was a Beef Tallow based oil.... they moved to the lower saturated fat and Trans fat substitute, in 2002 I believe they left this because of trans fat, but the did not return to Formula 47.
Forumla 47 was what made great fries, the crap they replaced it for in 1990 was a hydrogenated vegetable oil that wars far worse for you than the Formula 47 that it replaced due to trans fat and the fries were crap compared to the Forumla 47. The replacement in 2002 sadly was not back to the original forumla 47.
McD’s needs to return to Formula 47 on their fries...
However the biggest negative I have when I do find myself eating at a McDonald’s, which isn’t often, can be the clientele themselves... stopped into lunch one day and two guys were sitting there with their phone on full blast watching something with some crap profanity laden soundtrack as they ate their lunch not giving a damn about anyone else in the place... the Dining room was relative full when they arrived, and empty within 10 minutes.. That sort of thing does NOT help you.... McD’s is getting the reputation as the ghetto shop... and that’s not helpful.
