Should've said curly fries.

― PPlains (PPlains), Thursday, 15 February 2007 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought curly fries were a HARDEE's thing.

― John Justen, surrounded by frail, wispy people. (John Justen), Thursday, 15 February 2007 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Arby's has curly fries. (I just checked.) Maybe it's Hardees with the Waffle Fries.

― PPlains (PPlains), Thursday, 15 February 2007 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

No, I remember puking up Hardee's fries while drunk once, and they were curly. Maybe they co-own the patent.

― John Justen, surrounded by frail, wispy people. (John Justen), Thursday, 15 February 2007 17:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Hardees has "Crispy Curls" (same thing.)

Now I'm trying to think of who it is that has waffle fries. Maybe Backyard Burgers?

― PPlains (PPlains), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:02 (seventeen years ago) link

NOOO Chick-Fil-A has waffle fries DUH.

― METAL ROBOTIC HEAD FACE (scarymonster), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Arby's is curly fries. I dunno about Hardee's.

― METAL ROBOTIC HEAD FACE (scarymonster), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

sometimes i imagine that arby's curly fries are actually breaded phone cords

i believe carls jr and its east coast sister store hardees both have 'cris-cut fries'

To deviate from fries for the moment (although srsly if you haven't had an arbys potato cake your life is empty) if anyone can find where this:

mikeoptins, I used to work w/ an American guy at the Rec + Tape Exchange and every day he wld travel on the tube from Notting Hill Gate to Earls Court to have lunch at the Taco Bell there

there was also briefly a branch of Taco Bell on Coventry St, near the Trocadero in central London, but it closed pretty quickly. There also used to be a Wendys v. nearby, but sadly they too failed to 'catch on' here in Britishes

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Friday, 16 February 2007 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Wendy's is like a big pile of moldy cocks (except for their spicy chicken sandwich which is awesome).

― Jesus Dan (dan perry), Friday, 16 February 2007 21:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Did any Americans post who has experienced UK and American Taco Bell?

― jw (ex machina), Friday, 16 February 2007 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

McD's has the best hot fresh fries, but if the fries are likely to be cool, Wendys' are better.

Wendy's are thicker, and taste like potatoes. McD's fries just taste liek McD's-grease after they've gotten cold. xpost

Beer has diuretic qualities, i.e. it increases your urine excretion more than the same amouny of water would.

-- Tuomas (lixnix...) (webmail), February 20th, 2007 5:51 PM. (Tuomas) (link)

no wonder i pee so much when drinking!!!!

-- hm (mi...) (webmail), February 20th, 2007 5:52 PM. (modestmickey) (link)

The diuretic action of beer is due to the hops resin, which stimulates the kidneys, thereby contributing to the elimination not only of excess water in the body, but also of wastes and toxins. The sedative action of the hops joined with the calorific effect of the alcohol make beer a light and pleasant sleep-inducing beverage. Beer is also known to be a remedy against itself: the unpleasant memory of an evening spent drinking a little too much can become a thing of the past with the absorption of one glass of very cold pale beer, such as a pils.
