French fries are the freaking best. Anyone who says otherwise is not a person I want to know or be associated with…ever. It’s just one of those indisputable facts as far as I am concerned.
However, one thing about French fries that most certainly CAN be disputed is which kinds of French fries are the best. Are curly fries that tastiest? How about garlic fries? Steak fries are pretty awesome too. Which is why, I assume, the folks over at Food Republic decided to make this chart ranking the best kinds of French fries. Get ready to argue.

Ummm… yeah, that is definitely going to cause some disagreements. I don’t care if this list was created by conducting “a poll within FR Headquarters as well as the restaurant community” as they stated. There are some obvious flaws as anyone with a brain can clearly see. Or anyone who happened to see the chart on Twitter. That too.
I have never seen a more flawed list in my entire life. 3,7, 12 and 15 are TERRIBLE. Waffle fries are not number one, not even in top 5. pic.twitter.com/bjI80Sh7k6

I don't want to live in a world where Belgian fries are ranked higher than shoestring fries. We deserve so much better.

The disrespectful placing of curly fries is something I will not condone. pic.twitter.com/6kPv5tdKwU

Shoestring fries are hash browns in disguise. Disqualified in my book
— Brandon (@WaterNalls) June 11, 2017
frankly shoestring fries ranked above wedges & sweet potato is a goddamn travesty

This very important French fry argument even crossed international boundaries…

Then there was a call for rational French fry thoughts and peace…

Ranking french fries is like ranking my children. Of course I like one the most but I love them all.

But this is just too important an issue apparently…
Currently watching lifelong friendships perish in flame and blood over that goddamn french fries rating chart

At least on this last tweet I think we can all agree…
