Why do restaurant's still sell normal fries?

By contrast, I'm actually surprised you claim you have no idea what cardboard would taste like. You've never had cardboard near your mouth, hmm? Even if you've never used your mouth to temporarily hold a piece of cardboard, you've still consumed food that sits in it.

Also, I think I was pretty clear that In-N-Out fries DO NOT TASTE LIKE FRIED POTATOES. If they did, I would not hate them.

So you're saying that there are others who know what Cardboard tastes like? This is news to me, while I might have had it in my mouth holding something for a moment. I damn sure don't remember what it tastes like and couldn't begin to make a statement like "it tastes better than [insert real food]" I have no recollection of the taste, if I've ever tasted it. And I'm not exactly sure about your "DO NOT TASTE LIKE FRIED POTATOES" statement either. I mean they literally are, uh fried potatoes. In-N-Out Fries ordered well done are the business as far as I'm concerned, not the best fries out there by a long shot, but they're still really good.

This. Cardboard really is the closest thing you can compare to In-N-Out fries.

I'm not going to be anal about the cardboard metaphor like QueBert, but it's still a bad comparison. When I think of cardboard food, I think of something dry, textureless, and flavorless. In-N-Out always makes their fries fresh for everyone to see, so they're usually hot, moist, and very salty. You're going to need to be more specific. Are you more of a Jack in the Box flavored curly fry kind of guy?

I might have been anal, but it turns out the poster has actually eaten card board. So I think that nullifies the anal-ness of my post.

In N Out fries are usually underdone (at least the one around here is)
Ordering them Well done (+/- animal style) will remedy the problem quite nicely.

Though, I'm more of a seasoned (Jack in the box curly) / garlic fries fan myself

Where do you get Garlic fries? And YES to Seasoned Curly Fries from JiTB. But when they barely cook them and they're soggy I turn into a sad panda 🙁

You guys were never so hungry (eating fast) or ate in the dark that you accidentally bit into the product packaging that your frozen/fast food came in?

I can tell you tin foil tastes absolutely foul 😛

You have not lived life unless you have eaten fried cardboard. It's never too late to unlive your life.

I would equate the taste of cardboard to maybe some sort of flavorless, bland cereal. Such as the original whole-grain Cheerios.

Beef "extracts" like beef tallow, right?

yeah, although McD's supposedly did away with the tallow.

So after they got rid of that "extract" (look up tallow please), McD's fries no longer taste good?

I thought the flavor came from meat grease, not tallow. Like collecting bacon grease for a year and using it in your home fryer.
