    If they have enough salt on them I eat them PLAIN! They're so good on their own.
    If they're not salty enough I use ketchup!

    I eat my fries differently depending on my mood. Sometimes they are plain, sometimes with ketchup (only Heinz though), and sometimes I will dip them in McDonald's sweet & sour sauce or ranch dip.

    I like ketchup, too. I also eat leftover french fries cold sometimes--remember, it's not nice to judge :)
