This Guy's French Fry Ranking On Twitter Incited A Heated Debate

People will defend waffle fries to the end.

It all started innocently enough, with this one simple tweet ranking the best cuts of french fries:

french fry cuts, ranked:

6. curly
5. steak
4. waffle
3. wedge
2. shoestring
1. regular pic.twitter.com/mBvqAuVqA0

The Twitter user, Maurice Peebles, a deputy editor at Bleacher Report, probably had no idea that when you talk about fries, it’s never innocent.

The type of fries you like says a lot about the type of person you are. So naturally, what ensued was a passionate debate in reaction to the offense of this subjective list.

STEAK AND WEDGE BEFORE CURLY? WHAT THE FUCK MO. WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Wedge over waffle is flat out wrong. Waffle holds my @chickfila sauce just right. Wedge is a bite sized baked potato.

Curley and waffle way to high... I hate you now

This list would be legit if it wasn't for the clear anti-curly fry bias. Sad. https://t.co/ava4Fr0Re1

I'm irate

Shoestring is trash. It's just a worse version of hash browns that you can't dip in anything quite right or get dip on your fingers

Now I know your on drugs! #1) Fresh cut fries!!!

Stay OFF THE WEED

— Andrew Ellis (@Andrew_Ellis35) June 8, 2017

Waffle should be last cause they're absolutely gross asf.

— Jordann🤷🏼♀️ (@shorrtttty) June 8, 2017

You misspelled curly as regular

— chris michael (@xrismichael) June 8, 2017

No, no, no!
Wedge is way down the list next to crinkle and waffle is second to regular. Have we no respect for the beloved frie???

— J. Marlowe (@Lady_Marlowe) June 8, 2017

Shoestring at 2 is borderline psychotic

— Conor the Mick (@TheNJMick) June 7, 2017

Shoestring fries go against everything I stand for. Send me your location and we'll iron this out

— Glamour Muscle Morty (@mortysilvercarp) June 7, 2017

You need to see a professional. Psycho, like you read about.

— The Young Professor (@ProfessorSchnoz) June 7, 2017

Luckily, there was a little appreciation for the list:

The steak fry is criminally underrated mo thank you for adding it

— CNN (@robzilla747) June 7, 2017

Who knew the french fry ranking could get so heated?

Whatever your take on the french fry debate, we can all agree they’re great. So, go eat some fries:
