Nope.... Maybe in America, but here in the UK you can't do things like that. The chemical will be to strip the starch off the fry quickly, rather than just wash it in cold water and let it dry. The cooking part (blanching) and the quick freeze will do the protecting.

In 1967 the process was TOTALLY manual. You started with a 50 lb bag of potatoes. Each potato was sliced in a hand slicer, into a large sink of water. The washed frys were loaded into baskets and hug on a large rack. each basket was then "blanched," or fried for 30 sec to 1 minute, and then hung back on the rack. Each rack held @ 30 baskets and the Fry Man had two racks full at the beginning of the day, which in 1967, was 10 am. Throughout the day, the process repeated itself multiple times, until closing which was 12:00 midnight on Friday and Saturday and 11 pm Monday-Thursday and Sunday. Nothing was ever kept after closing. Either staff ate or took home the few burgers and fries or through them in the trash. (Usually there was nothing left, since 2-30 minutes before closing, everything was made by the order.) Needless to say, the fries were better back in the day. Today they are so thin as to make them too thin.

(They’re cooked on an electric top, which I grew up eating burger patties that way, but that’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Many people like the flavor char-broil gives) But our selling point was *definitely* our fries; if you cooked them according to method, you could be proud of how they tasted. I haven’t had an In-n-Out burger yet, but it’s on my bucket list; it’s kinda something farther west you have to drive out and get, so I live too far away. But I would like to try one!

They rob the customer mostly... When they say 8t costs them 20cents they are including everything, including what they make from the franchise owner....... They charge the franchise owner to use their product, so they're skimming profits from those "internal" sales too.... You really think they're gonna tell you how much it really costs them...

Spoiled people don't even consider the cost of construction, electricity, taxes, payroll, food delivery, and maintenance. Are we a bit entitled ?

A lot more money is spent between the 20 cents and the $3. Trucks, drivers, machinery, energy, storage, employees, restaurant, insurance, taxes, containers, etc. So it’s a bit disingenuous to say the “profit” $2.80.

I'm 66 and I remember going for a tour of a McDonald's in Cub Scouts the potatoes were delivered whole and fresh they cleaned, sliced them and fried them with in minutes of you ordering them in lard animal fat Man they were good a little salt and ketchup Thank God we have made progress LOL dream on youngsters for the day that your fries will ever be that good

When McDonald's took the beef fat out of thier fries, about 30 years ago, they ruined them. No surprise that a fast food company makes a ton off fries, that's why they always ask "would you like fries with that", duh!!.

It is weird that no other restaurant of French fries tastes like McDonald's and I've had nearly every comnercial fast food restaurant 's fries at some point in my life. The chemical wash " to remove toxins" is an irony. I have dropped fries while eating in the car. Typically I found them when I do my quarterly car cleaning and the fry looks like I just dropped it yesterday! Very scary what that chemical wash is made from.

.. This is why back in the day McDonald's stated asking all customers "Do You Want Fries With That?" .. And then came the combo menu .. And eventually every fast food burger joint did the same ...

2.80 isn’t the net profit. There’s VAT included, labor costs, insurances, rents/leases etc.

I'm friends with a family that used to own a restaurant near me. Their youngest son taught me the best way to make fries which was to cut your own potato and fry it twice. His fries were to die for, and after that, fast food fries didn't hold any appeal.

The cost of the fries is just a food cost. There’s also franchise cost, real estate cost, employees cost, insurance, etc.

I thought food was cheap in US here in UK medium fries are £1.39 ($1.72) ....
The 20 cent cost seems too low after watching all the processing and handling.

Fun fact:McDonald's french fries has aluminium in it which is another reason they dont age you can also do an experiment by grabing McDonald's french fries and french fries from other location like burger king canes popeyes etc you wait a week and you will get your result

You left out the best bit, how do they all come in the same length? After the slice they are passed through cameras, pointed at different angles, when a camera picks a short one a particular air hole is activated to blow that fry aside' they are thus sorted at incredible speed and efficiency.
