Actually, I don't like either one of them. McDonald's fries have had a funny taste to them for years...since they decided to have 'healthy fries'...totally distasteful....and I didn't care for the Wendy's....tasted like sticks of cardboard! If I'm gonna eat fries, I'm not expecting health food. I want them fried in oil with loads of salt. In my opinion, White Castle's krinkle cut fries are the best.
Wendy's/Arby's Group Inc. (WEN: 4.68, -0.07, -1.47%) is standing up to its biggest burger rival, McDonald's Corp. (MCD: 76.91, -1.49, -1.90%), by putting its marketing dollars toward gaining more French fry market share.
Wendy's unveiled its new French fries in November, a recipe that involves sea-salted Russet potatoes with the skin on that are cooked in a new oil to get a more "natural" taste. The chain says French fry unit sales were up 16% during the national media launch in December.
Wendy's also says that in a blind taste test, about 56% of consumers chose its new French fries, while only about 39% chose McDonald's as the best-tasting version.
