mcdonald's french fries literally taste like cardboard, and have roughly the texture of it too. and yet i still couldnt imagine not eating them. im convinced ronald mcdonald himself place some kind of drug in those fries to make them desirable despite being entirely unappealing in every way

It’s sugar. They put sugar on them. One of the most addictive substances in the world.

Their ketchup also has more sugar than like any other brand I've tried, and ketchup already has tons of sugar by default.

This isn't true. Adding salt and fat to the natural starches in potatoes is plenty addictive—there's no need to make things up.

I'm aware of how frozen fries are made. A couple second dip in the water doesn't suddenly turn french fries into cocaine. The sugar content is negligibly different from anything you'd make at home.

Sorry that material reality doesn't bend to your opinion
