I liked the old ones. But skin on with sea salt seems to buck the trend of fast food fries. I didn't know they got new ones, have they been advertising?

I don't think these have rolled out in all areas of the country. I had some at Wendys a few weeks ago and they were good but I went to a couple of Wendys in SC and WV that were still on the old ones. Hopefully they go everywhere as they are better.

I know they have them in the Dover area now...and our local store said they get them next week. One girl in our office said they were amazing...however I read somewhere that they are a lot more fattening...if that is true, then that is an interesting route to take...

I'm not positive, but I think I read they they have just a little bit more sodium than the old fries. Other than that I think they are pretty much the same.

Good fries def an upgrade from there previous ones. If you didn't get the old ones fresh they were hideous.

Nothing beats Rallies fries. Wendy's old ones were probably second. I haven't tried their new ones yet, though.

Arby's and McDonald's get my vote. I can eat McD's fries hot and fresh or not so much and they are delicious either way. Like gerb said...if you didn't get Wendy's fries when they were hot they sucked.

The "Natural Cut" part is just bullshit. They are exactly the same as the old ones except they taste like they have twice the salt.

That's what I said haha. I have to say I prefer the new ones. The old ones were too bland

I had them yesterday. Not much difference IMO.

Their burgers are the best of the Big 3 fast food joints. Their fries remain third.

I miss the old ones too. Does anyone know if this is a limited time thing? Or are the new fries here to stay?

Not a fan. The old ones were actually my favorite of the big 3.

Love the new ones.

IMO, best fries would be:

Rally's
Arby's
McDonald's
Wendy's

BK fries SUCK ASS.
