When I get fast food, I don't eat the fries until I get home.

Aren’t they cold by then?

I prefer them fresh but if needed, I retoast them when I get home especially with undercooked fries like Wendy's . Ensures they are hot and crispy

Interestingly enough, my local Wendy's has the best fries out of any fast food chains I've tried. They are consistently perfectly crisp and salted. Better than how I even remember McDonald's fries in their heyday.

I do know that Wendy's leaves more up to their franchisees than some places, so maybe I just got lucky with the people who own the one by me.

The best (IMO) fast food place by me isn't exactly close. By the time I get home I have to nuke fries and burger. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ Still didn't have to cook or do dishes!

You need an air fryer. The fries will be back to crispy.

Potatoes when cooked then cooled actually greatly lowers the glycemic index, so it's weird but actually not a bad habit to have!

Maybe true, but they still taste nasty when cold
