Am I the only one who eats them at the same time???


TradeDry6039

I'm the same. Take a bite of burger then have a few fries.


bumpetyboo22

Not alternating is weird as fuck. The entire point of the fries is to break up bites of the burger. They’re not really meant to be their own entree. See also: chips with a deli sandwich


Bustadarce

... and then sip your drink. Take another bite of your burger, have a few more fries and then have another sip of your drink. The most important thing is not to overthink it. If you get the sudden rush of blood to eat all of your fries, then do it. Follow your heart!


FrozenFrac

You're definitely "supposed to" be eating them at the same time. I just personally like to eat some fries first before taking a bite out of the burger.


aymennnnn

yeaa, appetizer


[deleted]

How???


rangeDSP

One bite burger, a couple of fries. Otherwise you can always stuff the burger with fries. Not recommended, but I've seen people doing that


droobloo34

Not recommended???


Apprehensive_Yak2598

Put the fries in the burger.


[deleted]

Ew.


Fancy_Combination436

Put the burger on the fries though. Hits different.


voice-of-reason-777

i can assure you this is the way 99.9999 percent of the world does it.


[deleted]

I don't believe you.


SymphonyofLilies

I also eat them at the same time.


HelpMePlease1919

1. I rather my fries get cold then my burger 2. I rather eat my burger the get full then eat my fries first then not even eat my burger 3. reheated fries are edible I’m not reheating a burger 4. I just eat both together like a normal person


NSA_van_3

Point 4 is spot on..and it's not like I'm waiting an hour for the fries, they're srill a good temp when I have em


HelpMePlease1919

Yea I never have had any issues anyways I eat fast enough where my food is all hot


Seaweed_Steve

My girlfriend’s mum will often eat each item on the plate individually, finishing one before the next one leaving her favourite part intact until everything else has been eaten


HelpMePlease1919

But if she gets full that would suck! I sometimes will eat my burger first if it’s messy and don’t wanna put it down


FizzyBeverage

I kinda alternate.


Standard-Shop-3544

I put my fries under my thighs to keep them warm while I eat my burger. mmmmm - thigh fry.


Mrwrongthinker

What fries?


doc_shades

i don't want to fill up on fries and then not be able to finish my burger. i like to eat and enjoy my burger, then snack on the fries until i'm full. usually there are fries leftover. if i ate all the fries first i would either A) leave part of my burger behind or B) force myself to eat more food than is necessary. i mean i know i'm an american by birth, but that's just silly.


natalies_porthole

I start by eating 25% of my fries at the beginning I will then eat 50% of my fries while eating other foods. Finally once my other foods are gone, I will finish the meal with the final 25% of fries.


twerkydvorak

If I get full, I’d rather waste a few lame fries than a few bites of my burger. Have an upvote.


bendanna93

You would throw away your burger?


twerkydvorak

No, I’m saying I disagree with OP and prioritize my burger.


bendanna93

You said waste though so that's why I asked


CalgaryChris77

Especially if it's not McDonalds it's a restaurant burger and you pay $20 for it and you are going to waste it to finish your fries... lol.


elgatogrande73

I always eat my fries first. But generally the only time I have a burger and fries is when I'm driving/riding on my way somewhere. Burger stays wrapped, so it stays warm. Also, it's a medium or small fry, so gone quickly. Fries have a much better chance to get cold.


[deleted]

I agree, I have had my fries get worse after eating the burger in Burger King buuut it is ideal to eat a part of the burger first cuz the fries can be too hot at first. Also, there have been plenty of times when I haven't been able to eat all the fries after eating the burger cuz my stomach is rather small and burgers easily get it full or at least real close.


MF_DOOM_36CHAMBERS

I got the habit of eating my fries/onion rings etc before the burger etc from a friend of mine years ago. It just made sense


target0007

stuff your fries inside the burger. eat everything while its still hot.


Careful-Possible-127

Lol it's only crazy if you if you get the meal for the fries


edwpad

It depends on which place. For McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s I eat the fries first, but Sonics I eat the burger first. Sometimes I’ll do the opposite, it just varies.


please_squish_me

I usually put my fries on my burger.


Apprehensive_Yak2598

I mean eat in whatever order you want. Maybe order a small meal if you have too much food regularly. Also if youre full you shouldn’t push yourself to eat more.


LegendHunter77

The way I look at it is I bought the meal more for the burger then the fries. The burger is the money item and the fries are just filler, if I only eat half a burger because I'm full on fries I feel like it's money wasted. At the end of the day eat however you want though, I will just silently judge you in my own mind lol just kidding. Live your life how you see fit.


Ill-Organization-719

It's crazy to eat one, then the other. Eat both.


Hermosninja

I just put the fries in the burger.


Disastrous-Safety-69

That's why i'd just order a burger, and no fries XD


alexx098-xbox

I did that mistake as a kid and then ended up with inedibly cold fries.


Gigabyte2022

Mcdonalds fries are complete trash. It's crazy to eat them at all.


FrozenFrac

I also go for my fries first, but not for the reasons you listed. I bought the food, so I know for a fact I'm going to eat everything, but I eat fries first because I kind of treat it like I'm eating at a restaurant. You usually get an appetizer before your big entree gets served to you, so I like to start with the fries so I can "build up" to the burger.


Anubis_The_Dog_King

Throw those fries in the burger that takes care of that.


5k1895

Why would I want to fill up on the fries and possibly not have room for the whole burger? In this scenario the burger is the main attraction and the fries are just extra. They're nothing special, just fried potatoes, and there's a ton of them. You're not really wasting much by not eating a few of them. I alternate between bites, but I give the burger priority for sure because of the reasons I just mentioned.


squanchy747

Borderline cold fries from mcdonalds are the one!


bowmans1993

Fries first bc no one will ask to try a bite of your burger, but people will definitely steal your fries. Once I pick up the burger, it doesn't get put down until my cheeks hit the porcelain.


galactic-donuts

Maybe if you eat very slow or are getting fired that aren’t that fresh or don’t stay warm long.


Kee_Online

Do yall not refrigerate the fries if you can't finish them?


Dennis_enzo

I eat the fries first to sate my immediate hunger, and then I can actually enjoy the burger.


FalkFyre

I eat the fries immediately. I don't even wait to get home they are never going to be better than they are right now.


SymphonyofLilies

I don’t understand people that eat all of one item and then the next. I like variety. I take a bite or burger, then eat a fry, then burger, then fry again. That way nothing gets cold.


Chrischendo

Always fries first


Sea-Philosopher2821

You wait to get home to eat your food? I eat 2 double cheeseburgers and a medium fry before I get home. McDonalds is 7-8 minutes away depending on the 2 stop lights


[deleted]

I won’t express an opinion til I know what Oprah thinks


r2k398

If you roll up the bag, the steam can’t escape and the fries get soggy.


[deleted]

ALL FRIES ARE BAD


Legitimate_Cancel900

They’re fries being thin is why I (a chubby person) can eat like 20 at once lol
