Fat Tuesday: If it ain't broke, don't 'fix'

Recently Wendy's changed their french fries to 'natural-cut' (means they cheap out on the peeling) fries with 'sea salt'.
Now, their original fries were never anything to write home about. Did they taste good in a frosty? Damn Right. When they were well done they were like little salty, crunchy bits of awesome.
What happens when something is great? Inevitably it is changed, and most likely for the worse. That's the case with these Wendy's fries.
When I first tried them, I thought I liked them. They reminded me of NY Fries, but only because of the skin being left on. They are not even in the same category as NY Fries. The worst thing about the new Wendy's fries? They taste too much like potato.
Is that a stupid statement? No...not really. Fries are supposed to taste like tasty hot grease and salt, not like the dirty tuber it sprang from. If I wanted that flavour I'd bite into a spud. I recently went to a fry tasting for McDonalds and it seemed like they were thinking about making a change to the same kind of taste as Wendy's went for...let us pray that they just leave well enough alone. Is anyone complaining about the taste? No? Then FUCK OFF. Leave the fries be!
The new fries are about as scary and disappointing as Carrot Top's act.
