Hey fast food workers who work the fries, I don’t give a fuck if you hate salt, put the correct damn amount of salt on my fries, I don’t want to taste the concept of having salt on my fries! No, I want my fries to remove all liquid from my mouth so I can guzzle down my flavoured sugar water!

You’re not making me healthier by lowering my salt intake, it’s fast food! I took all the veg off my burger and doubled the cheese! Now give me my salty chips god damn you!

    I don’t mind unsalted as much as soggy uncooked fries. At least unsalted you can throw on your own salt. I don’t have a deep fryer to finish cooking my unfried taters.

    It’s often the chains that tell the workers to do this. Like Burger King changed their fries in 2011 to be slightly thicker and have less sodium.

  • I like Wendy’s because I can ask for unsalted fries and then just grab a packet of salt to put on my desired level of salt. IDK why other fast food doesn’t have salt packets so you can salt your own food, but they fucking should.

      Fry salt is a much smaller grain than the salt in the packet. It also sticks better when they are fresh out of the fryer glistening with grease.

          Salt is salt

          The finer grains stick to the fries better.

          If you ask for unsalted fries, they usually have to make a fresh batch to satisfy your request, so it’ll still stick properly.

          When i worked at Wendy’s we kept unsalted fries premade so we would not have to make them fresh.
