Hmm, good point and no question about the fries. I do like their burgers as a guilty pleasure from time to time, but that may just be have been habituation. (And no, I do like "high-end" burgers as well)

They're definitely not anywhere near McDonald's fries, but if you throw Rally's/Checkers branded frozen fries in an air fryer, the result is pretty good. Perhaps better depending on your taste.

Well, milkshake is a terrible idea in my book and something I'd not like entirely. If I wish to drink something it will be beer, wine, espresso or just plain water.

Fries - no idea, I can have them but why I'd want fries home is another story; the frozen potatoes in the oven are pretty decent and no extra oil, so that's okay; again not especially enticing. If you have grown an acquired taste for McDonalds fries, so be it. At least where I live I know no one who'd say they wish to go to McDonalds for the fries.
