To be fair, every culture across the world is that way. Introduce something mostly familiar but with a slightly foreign twist and with a foreign name and people will have that reaction and it'll be popular. It's just how humanity is.

It's like how all you gotta do is say something like "hand-cut salsa" and suddenly it sounds tastier.

Aw man, I thought the fries tasted different. I thought the Wendy's by me was just lovely.

Yeah, they used to have normal fries that looked just like McDonalds' but they tasted better and then all of a sudden they swapped to what we've got now with the potato peel on some of ends of them.

Here's the return of an old classic.

Is that a lobster tail? More importantly, is that sour cream and mango juice?

The "mango juice" is actually melted butter for the lobster tail.

Yes, and at a guess horseradish sauce and melted butter.

That's butter. You've gotta have butter with shellfish.

This is depressing. If your girl leaves you the last thing you need to do is eat along by your computer. You need to go to show, get out at 2AM and convince the guy at the local 24 hour taco shop to make you a breakfast burrito because "It's technically morning".

Not speaking from experience or anything.

That taco shop is amazing. One time my friend got the guy to make him carne asada fries with fried fish instead of asada in order to win a bet that he couldn't get fish and chips after midnight in our city.

Must just be locales then. I'm in North Carolina and when ours switched they became not as good. Fries are so easy to not gently caress up though so there're still plenty of options around for them like Cookout/Backyard burger.

Never peel your potatoes. Fries, stew, mashed, au gratin, they all benefit from tasty 'tato skins!

CHIP REPORT

The Biscuit and Gravy Lay's taste like sour cream and onion chips with black pepper on them. 4/10 if you were expecting biscuits and gravy, 9/10 if you like sour cream and onion.

I'm not sure what the hell they were going for with the Truffle ones; there are so many goddamn flavors on those things that every time I put one in my mouth I spend a full minute chewing silently, thinking "what the gently caress is this even supposed to taste like?" Culinary mystery aside, they're not bad.

The Gyro chips taste like (tame) gyro seasoning. They're pretty good.

The Reuben, though, man... That's a good chip. Tastes just like a reuben. Lay's definitely knocked that one right out of the park.

I can agree with your Gyro chip assessment. The flavor is very light. It tastes good, yet somehow you're not tempted to gorge on them like you are on most chips.

The Truffle ones taste like Target's own brand Parmesan chips with extra oil.

I just bought all 4 for work. Everyone loved the Biscuits and Gravy and said that's the only one that was spot on. The Reuben one was correct as well at the end, but everyone agreed Reuben isn't a good chip flavor.

Truffle fries only my boss could taste truffle, and Gyro everyone hated while I loved them.

Be sure to use both chicken and beef broth in the gravy or else it's not really poutine sauce.
