A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Anything in the list gets to move up +1 when chicken salt is added if the other contenders don't, except sweet potato or onion rings.
Shoestring, Onion Ring, Waffle, Tots, Curly, Wedges, Zigzag, Sweet Potato
Whatever anyone’s opinion on this, ONION RINGS DO NOT BELONG HERE, they are NOT POTATOS
Sweet potatoes aren't potatoes either.
they're fried
I've tried onion rings at at least 5 different resteraunts. All of them just tasted like heart failure. Don't know how they are popular.
You must not have had them with barbeque sauce
OK. I'll try ONE more time...
doctors hate this one trick...?
Yes this screams of shitpost.
1st: Curly
2nd: Waffle
3rd: Shoestring
4th: Wedges
5th: Tater Tots
6th: Zig Zag
7th: Onion Rings
8th: Sweet Potato Fries
I genuinely love all of these, and struggled to rank them. Just a total potato gremlin.
These rankings also depend a lot on the source. So I just went with the best I've tasted of each.
I love all of these, not gonna lie.
Okay, two of them aren’t even the same vegetable.
Rank is less important than the presence or absence of chicken salt.
5 8 7 2 4 1 6 3
5,3,8,4,7,2,6,1
Ok there's another factor here and that's taking into account the dipping sauce if any.
Crinkle cut without sauce? Bland. With a good sauce? Those little accordion fucks hold way more than shoestring.
My vote is on number 10: Röstis
Sweet potato Onion Rings Curly Tots Shoestrings Wedges Waffle Zigzag.
Tots might be lower on the list, but I found they can work surprizingly well in some lazy microwave meals I make, so they get extra points for ease and dependability.

Where the hell are the Cajun fries?
8, 5, 4, 2, 1, 7, 3, 6
Adding Cajun seasoning to 4, 2, 1, or 7 would raise it above the other 3 and make me unsure about whether to raise it above 5.
3>2>4>6…
Onion rings > tots > sweet potato > everything else
And fuck ketchup, combine one part mayonnaise and one part BBQ sauce to dip that shit in
ketchups good with an equal amount of chili pequin sauce mixed in. I learned this at a mexican restaurant that also served burgers and fries for some reason, and haven't been able to go back to any other fry sauce since
They're all tied for number 1, except sweet potato, which skips all the empty spots below and goes straight to number 8. Sweet potato fries suck.
I wonder if they could be made better by doing that parboil-freeze-deepfry trick that makes mcdonalds fries so good

I need more popcorn for parsing these comments
I'm loving how passionately people feel about it
2: Top tier. I would suck a curly fry-wrapped dick as a side dish to my communion.
8: As pictured, yes. With their typical batter style that allows the onion to slide out? Fucking garbage. 1: A solid choice that reheats well and consistently delivers the yum.
7: Tasty and a fun puzzle as you try to reconstruct the potato.
3: Plain tots? Fuck outa here. Bump that shit up with some totchos.
4: Good in theory, dry as fuck in practice. Texture is inconsistent and offensive to autism.
5: What the fuck is wrong with you? Deadass. Explain your trauma to me.
6: Somehow chalk that reheats into more chalk. Your mom said not to fast food and then pulled these out the oven. Worse than a sweet potato fry.
No. I refuse to rank my children as well.
Posting such a controversial question and putting in onion rings on this list is bordering on rage bait
Edit: I can't type
