Everyone knows that in the ranking of ways in which to prepare potatoes before shoveling them into our mouths, curly fries reign supreme.

They are far superior to the regular chip, for reasons we don’t entirely understand, but try not to question.

So while we’d never turn down a straight, untwizzled fry, we do occasionally find ourselves yearning for more. Something better. Something curlier.

It turns out that McDonald’s Japan has that something.


Over in Japan, McDonald’s isn’t fobbing people off with just one, regular type of french fry. They’re serving up magical curly fries, too.

Essentially, these are the same McDonald’s french fries you know and love, but curly. They’re also seasoned with a slight spice.



What a glorious time to be alive and in Japan, eh?

Twister Fries arrived back on the McDonald’s Japan menu this month, after previously popping up in 2015 for one month. This time around they’ll only be available in Japan from now until early February.

They look absolutely delightful, which leaves us with two questions: why are these only a limited edition menu item? And why are they only available in Japan?

Please, McDonald’s. Sort this out. Make our fries curly and give us more freedom to choose the shape of our fried potatoes. We deserve this.
