No Fries at McD's! Help When is McDonald's, not McDonald's? When they are not serving fries or hamburgers. I mean really, the "Golden Arches" are their award-winning fries. Recently, the Golden Arches changes to the Bronze Arches. I have to admit that I am not a fan of fast food and I really try to eat healthily. In fact, I eat fast food about twice a year. One of those occasions was yesterday. My wife and I took my son to see the dentist. I know, lots of fun for everyone, right? Anyway, my wife thought it would be nice to stop at McD on the way home and get some fast food. It was a good idea since my son was disgruntled after the dentist visit. After waiting in line in the drive-thru for about 15 minutes, we ordered. The drive-thru attendant told us there were no fries. My Mandarin is pretty good, so I asked why. The attendant must have been asked this question a lot. She just said, "We don't serve them anymore. We have sweet potato fries." The alternative was interesting but didn't have the same pizazz that their usual fries do. I mean, really, I'd choose Burger King or even KFC if fries are out of the equation. Come on, that's what makes McD #1. That and bribing kids with toys. No one seemed to know the real reason. So, I did a little digging. According to MSN.com, there are problems with the shipping industry as well as potato blight. Click on the MSN for the article. https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/why-mcdonalds-taiwan-had-to-stop-selling-fries/ar-AAXoxrA To my surprise, it wasn't only affecting Taiwan. It seems that there are a few countries where McD is suffering a  "large sacri-fries" (that is also from the MSN article). I guess this will be the norm for a while. The substitute sweet potato fries are still good, but it's like replacing Classic Coke with New Coke. If you are not old enough to know this, it means replacing a loved item with a less delicious one, instead of having an option. Anyway, if your country has fries, please send some. -Just kidding.
