This wonderful wealth of food based knowledge is brought to you by Yahoo News. When you News, you Yahoo.

Basically, they're leaving the potato skins on (looks cool), using sea salt, and remixing their vegetable oil recipe. 8-9 month testing in several test markets have shown positive, and all Wendy's locations will sport the new fry recipe within 2 weeks, starting tomorrow.

I'm actually looking forward to this. I've been a fan of Wendy's fries for a good long time now (in opposition to some of my friends, who need to dip their fries in a chocolate frosty in order to enjoy them. (it's not bad, actually)), and so far, everything Wendy's has produced has been good, so I can't imagine these new fries are going to be bad or anything.

Kinda makes me wonder if I was in one of those test markets. The fries in Wendy's nearby are really ridiculously good... and I actually remember them being mediocre in the past.

Then again, the time I had them before was... a long while ago, so it could've just been an individual restaurant thing.

I never liked fries with the skins. I remember going to Virginia or someplace and wondering why like every restaurant kept the skin on their fries (except places like McDonald's).

Well, I live in Virginia, so maybe that's why I think it's cool.

Those fries look badass. It's like they just got an action movie hero 5 o'clock shadow thing going on.

I probably won't eat them (I've never been to Wendy's, and I rarely go to fast food joints in the first place), but they're so damn good to look at.

I'm thinking french fry pinups.

Hm, I haven't been to a Wendy's in a while, so I don't remember what their fries are like...

Though, Consumerist's article on this claimed that this will make their fries more like those of McDonald's (other than the skin part), which doesn't sound particularly like a good thing...

This worries me. Even though I haven't been able to have Wendy's in forever, I consider their fries to be one of the best chain-wise (along with our local KFC fries). Change isn't always a good thing.

Best chicken, in my opinion. KFC's tastes better, but Wendy's just gives you so much more for the value.

I still can't tell if the fries were new or not, and I just had them today.

All I can say is these better not taste like Jack in the Box's (thankfully discontinued) "natural cut" fries, or I will kill boycott.

Well, they also mentioned something about test markets... like I said, I'm not sure if I fell into one of those or not.

Drag, you must really love Wendy's.

So, are the new fries any better than the old ones?

I have good faith in Wendy's, I don't think they'll mess this up.

I haven't had a chance to try them yet, and like the article says, it may take up to two weeks before any of my stores get them at all.

Oh I like Wendy's as well. I really don't like fast food burgers (BK is all right, McD's is augh) but Wendy's has good burgers and good fries. One of these days I need to make a road trip to the other side of Montreal to get some.

Wendy's is one of the few fast food joints that I'll actually go to these days. Let's just hope this turns out well, or else I'll only have In 'n Out Burger as a backup :<

I have to say, In 'n Out Burger may be the greatest fast food place out there... I wish they had them on the East Coast.
