    Where the hell are the Cajun fries?

    8, 5, 4, 2, 1, 7, 3, 6

    Adding Cajun seasoning to 4, 2, 1, or 7 would raise it above the other 3 and make me unsure about whether to raise it above 5.

      They are definitely by shape (mostly, sweet potato is the odd one out), not seasoning. You can add Cajun seasoning to any of those and they’d still be what shape they are. Just like I prefer curly fries, but I don’t like the ones from Arby’s because of their seasoning.

    2: Top tier. I would suck a curly fry-wrapped dick as a side dish to my communion.

    8: As pictured, yes. With their typical batter style that allows the onion to slide out? Fucking garbage. 1: A solid choice that reheats well and consistently delivers the yum.

    7: Tasty and a fun puzzle as you try to reconstruct the potato.

    3: Plain tots? Fuck outa here. Bump that shit up with some totchos.

    4: Good in theory, dry as fuck in practice. Texture is inconsistent and offensive to autism.

    5: What the fuck is wrong with you? Deadass. Explain your trauma to me.

    6: Somehow chalk that reheats into more chalk. Your mom said not to fast food and then pulled these out the oven. Worse than a sweet potato fry.

    They’re all tied for number 1, except sweet potato, which skips all the empty spots below and goes straight to number 8. Sweet potato fries suck.

    Never had curlies, tots (not even sure what they are) or waffle fries.
    After reading the comments I think I’ve never had good onion rings or sweet potato fries. Those are a no from me. Onion rings were just deep fried batter and sweet potato was sweet and soggy. Both didn’t leave an impresion.

    Now my potato of choice is wedges (especially if cooked in an oven). Then whatever is left. Not sure why everyone is hating on zigzags. The thickness is similar to straight fries so it should cook similarly and without seasoning everything will taste bland.

    My only strong opinion on the whole chart is that crinkle cut fries are the worst thing shown and thus take last place no matter what

    1. Tater tot: A good tater tot is like butter. Pure salt and crunch then melt in your mouth deliciousness.

    2. Onion Rings: Good onion rings is technically better than tater tots, but the spectrum of bad to good onion rings is very wide.

    3. Curly Fries: Curly Fries are hard to fuck up. I don’t even think I’ve had a variation of curly fries. They’re all the same to me, but they’re so good.

    4. Wedges: Wedges have a smaller spectrum than onion rings, but the ceiling is lower and they’re hard to rank better than the ones ahead of them.

    5. Shoestring: McDonalds

    6. ZigZag: These can range from heavenly to straight fucking trash. Unfortunately they’re too easy to turn into straight fucking trash. By that I mean you have to put more work into them to make them good as opposed to just salt and oven/fried. Might as well just try to fry some snow at that point.

    7. Sweet Potato: I’ve had good sweet potato fries but I rarely get good sweet potato fries.

    8. Waffle: I don’t get these. They’re ass. The only place that makes them kinda tolerable is Chik-Fila, but even then they’re still ass to me. Can’t even make them good at home without drowning them in salt and ketchup. I can slice up a potato and chuck them in the oven and get better results most of the time.

    Edit for formatting. Apparently piefed, doesn’t honor your numbering and turns it into 1, 2, 3, etc even if you go 8, 12, 3.
