Have you noticed a general decline in the quality of the world's French fries?

You're not alone.

These days more and more restaurants seem to be giving up their old fries in favor of those disgusting breaded fries.

History

  • First, Kentucky Fried Chicken swapped their fries. They are actually the worst offenders because, not only did they change their fries, but they launched a big publicity campaign advertising the fact that they did it.
  • Then A&W followed suit.
  • And now Burger King has gone and poisoned their fries!

Possible explanations

  • These restaurants are seeking a quick way to get out of the food business.
  • They are unable to meet high consumer demand, so they have devised a strategy to reduce consumer demand.

If you have examples of other restaurants that have committed similar suicides, or want to report the differences in fries between one geographical region and another, Let me know!
