Say what, McDick's?

Why are fries a dairy product now?

I, like billions of others, am lactose intolerant. I’m used to it. It’s usually not a big deal. I avoid foods containing dairy products, including the less obvious ones like mashed potatoes.

I was peeved ten years ago when Big Chip (you do know the production of potato chips is concentrated in just a few factories, don’t you?) ruined my beloved Salt & Vinegar potato chips by adding lactose as a sweetener. You don’t expect “Salt & Vinegar” chips to be a freaking dairy product. Their only ingredients should be potato, salt, vinegar, and oil.

Boy, wasn’t it fun discovering that change.

But now, McDick’s has changed the formulation of their french fries. They added milk derivatives for some bizarre reason. So McDick’s fries are now a dairy product.

Boy, wasn’t it fun discovering that change.

It had been a few years since I went to a McDick’s for anything other then breakfast crack (AKA the McGriddle®). I feel no need to ever return.
