fast food is junk, the fries are soggy, made of genetically modified potatoes, no flavor, etc.

try this, make your own jo-jos, its so easy:
cut yellow potatoes into wedges
toss in bowl with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, ground rosemary to taste
place on baking sheet with all wedges standing up
bake at 400 for about 35 minutes
serve with a high quality ketchup such as Heinz with cane sugar (not corn syrup)

Now that is a french fries done right. I make these up for the whole family, its easy and they disappear quickly, and the wife appreciates it. I haven't eaten fast food more than once or twice a year in a pinch. Now when I was in my teens and early 20's i'd be in the fast food lineup all the time. Nowadays with a real job and a normal schedule there just is no need. I dropped that habit as soon as I possibly could.

Same for Japan. Mexico is hit and miss. Best fries on US are from In and Out Burger IMO.
Do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris ? It's called a Royale with Cheese. Not sure what they call a Whopper over there.

Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it le Big-Mac

You want fries?
Five Guys.
Order any size of fries and a burger and you will get more than you can comfortably eat (at least at our local one) and they are good.
Plus you can eat all the peanuts you want while you wait.
We love that place.

To the OP, yes McD's fries aren't what they used to be.
Curiously, I have eaten at McD's in England and France and in both locales they tasted much better.
I can't explain why, but they were.
I wanted to try them in Germany a few months ago but there was a line of people stretching out the door (no kidding) so I passed.

It's a hate or love type place. There is no dispute though, they have the best french fries available. Plus you don't have to get roast beef there. I have changed the minds of a few people with the buffalo chicken sandwich they offer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
