TIL: How to Get Hot, Fresh Fries Each and Every Time

You know how sometimes you’ll go to McDonald’s and the fries are absolutely amazing, warm and crisp and just the best, best fries you’ve ever had? And other times, they taste like a stale, mushy vat of the Mondays?

Well what if I told you an easy way to make sure you always get the good stuff is to just ask them to hold the salt?

At least, that’s what twitter user @anjaleef suggested in her recent post on the daily tip site ClueDB:

“Ask for ‘no salt’ on your fries when ordering from a fast food place. They usually salt the heck out of their fries and will have to make you a new batch if you ask for no salt.”

Granted, I’ve never had a chance to test this theory, but hey, fresh fries every time? Could be worth a shot.

Or I could just go to In-N-Out. At least that way, I have a lesser chance of having someone spit in my food.
