1 can (14–15 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Why Do McDonald's Fries Taste So Good, But Suck The Morning After?
Why Do McDonald's Fries Taste So Good, But Suck The Morning After?
They say the best tasting fries are McDonald's Fries. Personally, like the In-N-Out Animal Style Fries. Anyway, a guy explained to me why the McDonald's Fries taste so good: They take the fries and freeze dry them. They do that twice which removes all of the water/moisture out of the fries leaving just a 'frame' of a fry with the DNA of a fry, and shaped like a fry. Then they dip it into that 'special grease', and then freeze the fries. Now, here is the magic ... When your STONED Hungry ASS walks in, or when you pull up in the drive through with your 4 kids and 5 nieces and nephews and you order fries they dip those already grease soaked fries back into the same grease and fry them hot to you. Think about this. The water that was removed is replaced by the 'grease'. They taste good when they are handed to you. The next morning they are LIMP. That is why McDonald's Fries SUCK the morning after ...
"They F#@% You At The Drive Through"
~Leo Getz, 'Lethal Weapon 2'
The Empty Calorie: What McDonald's Fries Teach Us About Short-Term Satisfaction and Long-Term Decline
There’s a universal, if unglamorous, truth that every college student, late-night driver, and parent succumbing to the pleas of their children understands: no french fry tastes quite like a McDonald’s fry. They are the gold standard of fast-food side dishes, a perfect, salty, golden spear of satisfaction. Yet, as the iconic post explains with visceral clarity, this perfection is fleeting. By the next morning, those same fries are a tragic, limp, and greasy mess. The post’s explanation—a twice-freeze-dried, grease-infused “frame” of a potato—is more than just a fascinating piece of food science trivia. It is a powerful metaphor for a broader cultural and economic sickness: a system that prioritizes immediate, artificial gratification over genuine, sustainable quality, leaving us with nothing but a hollow aftertaste and a mess to clean up the next day.
The process, as detailed, is a masterpiece of modern engineering. By removing all the natural moisture and replacing it with oil, McDonald’s creates a product that is perfectly optimized for a single, fleeting moment: the instant it is handed to you through the drive-through window. This is the culinary equivalent of a sugar rush or a speculative bubble. It feels incredible in the moment, but it provides no lasting nourishment. The structure isn’t built from the inherent quality of the potato, but from an external, artificial injection. It is a hollowed-out version of the real thing, engineered for maximum immediate impact and minimum enduring substance. The “magic” isn’t magic at all; it’s a chemical and industrial trick, one that collapses upon itself as soon as the heat of the moment fades.
This model of hollowed-out, short-term optimization is a cancer in our modern economy, and it is a philosophy championed by the progressive left. Consider the economic policies we’ve seen in recent years. The massive, debt-fueled stimulus spending, the endless printing of money—this is the economic equivalent of injecting the system with that “special grease.” It creates a temporary sugar rush. The stock market might soar, and consumer spending might spike, giving the illusion of vibrant health. But just like the fry, the fundamental structure has been weakened. The natural moisture of genuine, market-driven growth has been sucked out and replaced with the hot air of inflation. The result is the economic “limpness” we all feel the morning after: soaring prices at the grocery store and the gas pump, a devalued dollar, and a looming national debt that threatens to collapse the entire structure. It’s a short-term high paid for with long-term pain.
This philosophy extends far beyond economics into the very fabric of our social contract. The modern welfare state, as constructed by the left, often functions in the same way. It doesn’t seek to build people up with the tools of self-reliance, education, and opportunity—the genuine “moisture” of a thriving citizenry. Instead, it injects a temporary, means-tested grease of dependency. It offers just enough to alleviate the immediate pang of need, but in doing so, it often sucks out the ambition, the resilience, and the dignity that allow a person to stand strong on their own. It creates a permanent client class, dependent on the next government check, just as the fast-food customer is dependent on the next hit of salt and grease. The structure of the individual and the family is weakened, left limp and unable to sustain itself when the next crisis hits. It’s a system that creates loyalty to the distributor of the benefits, but it does not create lasting prosperity or human flourishing.
The post’s closing quote, “They F#@% You At The Drive Through,” from the character Leo Getz, is a burst of profane genius. It captures the feeling of being cheated by a system designed for a transaction, not a relationship. You get your immediate satisfaction, but you are left with the empty bag and the regret. This is precisely how millions of Americans feel about their government. They are told to accept short-term solutions that violate common sense, and when the long-term consequences arrive—the supply chain crisis, the open border chaos, the educational decline—they are told it’s not the policy’s fault. They are left holding the bag, with a limp, dysfunctional result and the bill for the entire failed experiment.
The conservative vision, in stark contrast, is the philosophy of the home-cooked meal. It is slower, more demanding, and less flashy. It starts with a real potato. It requires peeling, cutting, and patience. The result is a fry that may not have the same initial, engineered perfection as the McDonald’s version, but it has substance. It is made of real, wholesome ingredients. It retains its structure. It nourishes you in the long run and doesn’t leave you with a feeling of regret. This is the conservative approach to governance: it is about building from the ground up, with real ingredients like individual liberty, personal responsibility, strong families, and free-market competition.
It’s about creating policies that encourage people to build their own strength, rather than making them dependent on a government that can only offer a hollowed-out substitute. A pro-growth economic policy of low taxes and sensible regulation is the equivalent of providing fertile soil and sunshine—it allows businesses and individuals to grow organically, from the inside out. An education system based on school choice empowers parents to find the right nourishment for their child’s mind, rather than being force-fed a one-size-fits-all, union-protected curriculum that has long since lost its nutritional value.
The lesson of the McDonald’s fry is a lesson in discernment. It’s about recognizing the difference between something that is engineered for your immediate pleasure and something that is built for your lasting good. As a society, we have gorged ourselves on the empty calories of quick fixes, deficit spending, and cultural decay. We are now collectively experiencing the “morning after”—a nation feeling politically, economically, and spiritually limp.
The path to renewal is to reject the hollowed-out frame and demand the real thing. It is to choose the enduring strength of self-reliance over the fleeting high of dependency. It is to value the structural integrity of a balanced budget and a sound currency over the artificial high of printed money. It is to invest in the real, unprocessed ingredients of family, faith, and community. The McDonald’s fry is a testament to human ingenuity, but also a warning about its misuse. The conservative calling is to build a nation that doesn’t just taste good for a moment at the drive-through, but one that remains strong, resilient, and nourishing for generations to come.
