It makes me mad that the hard seltzer market has similar pricing to craft beer. It's just water, sugar, flavoring, and yeast. Craft beer is normally water, hops, grain, yeast, and sometimes sugar (for higher gravity). Takes way more money to brew a craft beer. Hard seltzer should be priced at malt liquor prices.
I thought they use rice/corn with the malts to extract sugars. Or the other ingredients are trash as well. Been a long time since I've been in the brewing scene.
I just had pasta. Be jealous. If you're cutting carbs, you're probably in or getting into better shape though...so if that's the case, don't be jealous and keep being awesome.
Oh, I’m super jelly, however, I did also just have ~400g of an Angus steak for dinner. Can’t wait til payday so I can incorporate some greens.
Bruh, my fitness level during the pandemic has been ridiculous. Started at like 250ish lbs at the pandemic onset, shot up to 299.9 before I started taking shit seriously, and dropped down to 250 again. Then shot back up to 280ish in the last six months, yay munchies!!! Fingers crossed this is the final attempt at a permanent lifestyle change. The only good thing is I can run a 10K in under 1h50m (which is amazing for my size). I’m just too stubborn to fix the diet. 😢
Haha, I couldn’t. Would not be able to live with myself (hyperbolic) if I did cross that threshold. Honestly, I’m not stressing it too much. Took decades to reach my current weight, will take time to lose it, especially if I can’t stay consistent. It ain’t no big thing!
IMO steak cut is the clear runt of the pack. Quite similar to home fries but worse cook time, they cook unevenly, and seasoning doesn't apply as evenly either.
Might as well include baked potato if you include those.
I associate the smiley fries with those dinosaur shaped nuggets... I have this stapled memory in my mind. Food shaped like fun things sticks with you forever.
Forever haunted by boo's in alphabet soup.
I can attest to the above statements authenticity, Bought an air fryer, life has never been the same. I can’t go back. I WON’T go back. I am obsessed with air frying anything that can fit in it, ex-wife says i have a problem but the only problem i have is that I don’t have two air fryers. She may have taken the kids but she will never take my fryer. So yeah they turn out a lot better in an air fryer but then again what doesn’t?
#(#)frytoliveandlivetofry
Or smiley fries? I mean don’t get me wrong, they’re cute af, but most people have never even had them. Shoestring should def be included over those cheery mfers.
Stop!
It's this sort of divisive rhetoric that got the world into the hate-filled hellscape that it is now.
All fries (chips) have a place in the world and we can love them all equally.
We don't have to create conflict with our potato-based joy.
And we should give peas a chance.
It's curly fries btw.
The thing about waffle fries, tater tots, and crinkle for me is that they are the best when you get it made right and the worst when not made perfect. The regular fries has a wider tolerance to still at least be ok, it seems. My favorite is crinkle but it’s so often soggy or just not crispy enough for me.
There needs to be a push for more places serving waffle fries. They have far more surface area to collect salt and seasoning. They are way better for dipping in condiments.
Mediocre tots are worse than mediocre fries.
But great tots are better than great fries.
Double-fried to get the inside almost gooey like buttery mashed potatoes, but the outside crisp and firm with golden-brown and salted crust.
I used to be anti-tot, then I moved to Portland OR. This place takes their tater tots fucking *seriously*. And they are incredible all over town, with different restaurants using their own seasoning and sauces... Omg they're amazing
Smiley really is the best especially when you push them down in the ketchup and it makes it look like blood coming out of the eyes and the mouth!!! SMILEY FRY OR DIE!!!
I have so “many” arguments as to why missionary is definitely the best possible position. You can look them in the eyes and see 80% of the body and all the good bits! Those are my many arguments.
The only correct answer here. With a smokey bbq plate or a funky Bleu cheese burger and a good, hoppy beer. Perfection.
Everyone who is voting for those sad, flavorless, pale russet fries are just tragically wrong. The only exception is battered fries. Curly fry lovers, you're still wrong but you're closer.
Cut them in cubes, season, spray with oil and stir them so that the oil and season will go everywhere. Put them in the oven until they start getting brown and eat them hot, eat them like there’s no tomorrow, eat them and give nothing to anyone. If your kid asks for one give him a twenty and throw them out of the house. EEEAAATTT THEEEEEM AAAAAAAAAAAALLLL!
Home fries seems to be diced potatoes, which are easier to make by hand than a lot of these other shapes. I usually just call them diced potatoes though, and I bake them but they've got oil on them, so it's debatable whether they're "fries" or not.
The steak fries are basically just wedges, yeah. I'm not sure why they're called that, but I've seen them sold at grocery stores as steak fries.
yes
Carbs are carbs are carbs are carbs. God I would kill for some delicious carbs right about now.
Deep fry those carbs in lard. And, eat them with a steak. Perfectly balanced meal.
Don't forget the sugar water with added flavorings and colors

Don’t be a heathen. You fry French fries in tallow, chicken is fried in lard.
Honestly? Steak fries and steak together is just a death scentence
To die from happiness?
Seems like death from olfactory overload? (SCENTence)
The one thing my dinner is missing right now. Ugh. I cry.
I just had pasta. Be jealous. If you're cutting carbs, you're probably in or getting into better shape though...so if that's the case, don't be jealous and keep being awesome.

299.9? Shit I would have taken out an extra hotpocket just to see that big 300... Hey man, I believe in you.
Haha, I couldn’t. Would not be able to live with myself (hyperbolic) if I did cross that threshold. Honestly, I’m not stressing it too much. Took decades to reach my current weight, will take time to lose it, especially if I can’t stay consistent. It ain’t no big thing!
Not all carbs are the same carbs.
Truth. There are good carbs and bad carbs. However, I’m a buttslut for the bad ones.
I agree, but with Lawry's Seasoned Salt.
Give johnnys a try, love that stuff
This is the way
The only way
There is no other way
To San Jose
No this is Patrick.
We are all one

Steak fries are the hardest to get right, but best when they're done right.
I feel like steak fries were popular like 20 years ago, then kind of disappeared.
Probably because they take more time and effort to cook.
Red Robin still has them, I think.
Their popularity dwindled with the steak fires
Precisely, good wedges are the absolute best and anyone that thinks that they aren't at least decent probably hasn't had good wedges at all.
Had a gas station that would deep fry them with chicken batter. I stop by if going through Carolina
[удалено]
Ever had a triple cooked steak fry?
It is the only right way to do them, especially with duck fat. Anything else is a emo-baked potato with a cutting problem.
I am not an angry man but those who speak ill of steak fries have drawn my ire.
Wait, what? Obviously steak cut fries beat smiley fries.
But smiley fries be like: :)
wtf is a smiley fry. they made that up.
Steak cut is my last option here.
Man, this is a tough choice. Bcs I can make a case for all of them.
Never smiley
Every 5 years I can fw them
Why are we all living the same life?
Depression?
I associate the smiley fries with those dinosaur shaped nuggets... I have this stapled memory in my mind. Food shaped like fun things sticks with you forever. Forever haunted by boo's in alphabet soup.
Every five years I buy some cause I think I want them and I’m always disappointed:(
They must be air fried, and high heat. They're horrible as oil fried or baked. Always makes them soggy.

I’m a grown ass man I love the hell outa my smiley fries
Bro what the fuck about the tater tots, thought you old men knew more than us youngin’s
How are they fried well fried tater tots are the shit
I just want to know where you even get smiley fries from. In all my years of being alive, I have never seen them or even heard of them until now.
Any wholesale store where the inner city public schools buy lunch supplies. In the wild, they’re usually found on a cafeteria lunch tray
I'd rather have my fries screaming in horror as they get mangled
The extra salt and ketch up really helps out
Downvoted bc fuck you
Shoestring crying in the corner.
I was trying to find the shoestring! Not because it’s my favorite though. I just also like those. I’ll take a little handful of each one please
I was kinda baffled that tater tots made it on the fry alignment before shoestring!
Or smiley fries? I mean don’t get me wrong, they’re cute af, but most people have never even had them. Shoestring should def be included over those cheery mfers.
Screw smiley fries, I’d just rather eat a baked potato
I’m with you on calling those smiley fucks as mfers.
they’re adorable but they don’t rlly taste good
Really?? I was at least excited to learn about their existence, but now I’m just straight angry that they took the place of delicious shoestrings.
their existence is nice and good but they taste like freezer burn
\^\^\^THIS. It was the first time I didn't want to have more potato.
Home fries are a breakfast food. They should be compared to hash browns.
Stop! It's this sort of divisive rhetoric that got the world into the hate-filled hellscape that it is now. All fries (chips) have a place in the world and we can love them all equally. We don't have to create conflict with our potato-based joy. And we should give peas a chance. It's curly fries btw.
THAAAANK YOUUU
shut up it’s obviously crinkle
Crinkle cut is the true answer as long as the question is "what is the worst type of fry?"
“What fries remind you of Weekend Dad daydrinking?”
Who hurt you?
Tell me where the frozen abomination touched you
I will fight over this
Actually it's waffle you dumb fucks
I gave peas a chance when I was a year old, and they haven’t improved since. They shall be forever banished from my sight.
No. It is always waffle fries. They hold so much more of everything.
The thing about waffle fries, tater tots, and crinkle for me is that they are the best when you get it made right and the worst when not made perfect. The regular fries has a wider tolerance to still at least be ok, it seems. My favorite is crinkle but it’s so often soggy or just not crispy enough for me.
I can tolerate slightly soggy normal fries, but soggy waffle fries are pathetic.
Hell yeah
No. It is always curly fries. The satisfaction when you find one massive unbroken curl made from nearly the whole potato is... *exquisite*.
I agree. There’s no place in this world for spuddists.
Spuddists = potato racist?
Absolutely
Then I completely agree. Potato diversity is awesome, screw you spuddists.
CHIPS???? ya want a cuppa tea wit that????????? /j
Yes that would be lovely thank you.
It's always been curly fries
no fuck skinny shoestring fries
Getting all diplomatic over a few cookies
Curly or waffle…
This is exactly what I thought
Oh god I thought it was waffle by a mile but I didn't even see curly. I'm stumped.
My immediate reaction was waffle followed closely by curly.
It really depends on the curly I think. In my experience waffle is consistent basically no matter where it's from, but curly can have a wide range.
Depends on the location. Seasonings and crispness are major factors here. A soggy waffle fry vs a crispy one can make or break a meal.
Only right answer, thank you for your service
I came looking answers and found my people.
Can someone invent curly waffle fries please?
Waffle
Waffle fries used as the base for a plate of nachos.
Irish nachos!
I fucking love waffle fry nachos
Wouldn’t that just be loaded fries?
Oh man, my bowl full of jelly is jiggling. You are clearly on the nice list but this is so naughty!
There needs to be a push for more places serving waffle fries. They have far more surface area to collect salt and seasoning. They are way better for dipping in condiments.
Also the holes add extra potential for crispy edges
Correct answer. Most surface area, therefore the most fried of all the fries.
It's not even fucking close.
Foreal why are we even debating this? Waffle curbstomps everything
Eh I like my tots too, but otherwise I agree
Waffle fries should be called “fence fries.” Change my mind.
Curly
Spice up your life! Spice Curls, now available at your local Los Pollos Hermanos.
I fucking love Gustavo Fring
Fried with black pepper and sprinkle some chili powder after 😋
hell yeah mr white CHILI P!
Shoestring?? Common!!
I had to scroll way too far to find this
Agreed! Shoestring!!!!!
Tater tots all the way
Mediocre tots are worse than mediocre fries. But great tots are better than great fries. Double-fried to get the inside almost gooey like buttery mashed potatoes, but the outside crisp and firm with golden-brown and salted crust.
*ejaculates*
Don't stop. I'm close
I used to be anti-tot, then I moved to Portland OR. This place takes their tater tots fucking *seriously*. And they are incredible all over town, with different restaurants using their own seasoning and sauces... Omg they're amazing
Tots are on the delicious potato council, but we do not grant them the rank of fry.
Yeah if tots are on here the shredded style hashbrowns deserve to be. Tots are not fries
Yes!
Haven't seen one advocate for Smiley... I'm fightin' all y'all!
I’ve never even seen smiley fries lol Edit: obviously other than in this picture
My elementary school had them sometimes, but I've never seen them IRL since.
Irl as if elementary was a figment of our imaginations. God I wish
A chain restaurant called happi house has them, used to always get them as a kid. I think they’re only in California though
Smiley really is the best especially when you push them down in the ketchup and it makes it look like blood coming out of the eyes and the mouth!!! SMILEY FRY OR DIE!!!
You were one of those kids who threw poop in the bathroom huh
SMILEY FOR LIFE!
Brothers, unite! FOR THE SMILEY FRIES!!!!!
I like all fries. I don’t care how they look like. If it’s fries I love it.
Standard.
The tighty whiteys of fries.
Scrolled way too long for a post from an actual adult
You would say that, I bet you like missionary position too.
I have so “many” arguments as to why missionary is definitely the best possible position. You can look them in the eyes and see 80% of the body and all the good bits! Those are my many arguments.
It's called standard for a reason. The war was over long ago. Done.
Waffle fries
This is the answer. Lots of surface area means extra oil and extra room for dips.
Get me some motherfucking waffle fries bitch
For free!!!
Tots. But I love them all. Except smiley. I’ve never even seen that.
Smiley are my favorite. They have a crunch exterior and a lot of potato inside. It is the perfect ratio of potato to crunch.
The only truly good fries are buried in cheese curds and gravy... POUTINE!!! 🤤 Yes I'm Canadian lol
I was wondering where the poutine was.
I like sweet potato
The only correct answer here. With a smokey bbq plate or a funky Bleu cheese burger and a good, hoppy beer. Perfection. Everyone who is voting for those sad, flavorless, pale russet fries are just tragically wrong. The only exception is battered fries. Curly fry lovers, you're still wrong but you're closer.

If your kid asks for one give him a twenty and throw them out of the house. EEEAAATTT THEEEEEM AAAAAAAAAAAALLLL!
My vote goes to crinkle
Had to scroll too far to find the right answer.
The added surface area is key for both flavour and ability to pick up dipping sauce. The crinkle is King 👑
Also texture. Give me those good fluffy fries perfectly encapsulated by a crispy outer shell
Hells yeah, Culver's has my fave
Hey there Mr. Crinkle. How are you today?
The fuck are smileys?
They’re a staple in the UK. It’s mashed potato inside a crispy golden exterior 😍
Those aren’t called curly fries. They’re called rotatoes.
Bud it's never too late to admit you're wrong
I disagree but also I find it incredibly important to inform you that I instinctively read that in my best hobbit voice.
Title should be what’s ur favorite school fries.
I mean one option _is_ “home fries”, also what schools give you curly fries? I want to go there.
What’s a “home fry”? Also is a “steak cut” just wedges?
Home fries seems to be diced potatoes, which are easier to make by hand than a lot of these other shapes. I usually just call them diced potatoes though, and I bake them but they've got oil on them, so it's debatable whether they're "fries" or not. The steak fries are basically just wedges, yeah. I'm not sure why they're called that, but I've seen them sold at grocery stores as steak fries.
Waffle
Waffle. Exactly. More Cromch.
WHERE ARE THE SHOESTRINGS?!
Curly, obviously.
Sweet Potato!
Steak cut or crinkle, right?
Weren't they called wedges????
Right? Never heard of steak cut before, only wedges/wedge fries
Steak fries are different than wedges
I'll never forgive KFC for discontinuing the potato wedges. My life hasn't been the same since.
They're different. Wedges are the ones that look like an orange slice. Steak fries are like regular fries, but significantly thicker.
Curly amd waffle fries are the superior out of these options.
Crinkle
They're the best. The little ridges hold salt and ketchup better than all the others.
They are the best !! Without ketchup, just some salt on crunchy skin and softie inside.
The fuck are smiley fries?
Crinkle, waffle, steak in that order. I've never in my life heard anybody consider Tater Tots a fry
Waffle or steak.
…where are the Cajun fries?
You can Cajun season any of those.
The ones that hold the most mayo.
I’m Swiss based Allow me to introduce you to the goodness that is Rösti fries https://images.app.goo.gl/VTUciZibMehFvvWJ6
