Two of these are absolutely not unusual in any way whatsoever (Pizza/Ranch, Hot Dog/Ketchup). So they stay, and shouldn't have even been included to be honest.
I've heard that Apple Pie/Cheese is good, and I've heard Fries/Milkshake is good.
However, ultimately, it comes down to one thing for me; the grotesquery of consumption in my mind's eye.
You can eat Apple Pie/Cheese with cutlery and in a non-gross way.
Fries/Milkshake, on the other hand? I can't help but picture the mess. The sloppiness, the salty, licked fingers in the milkshake. The temperature differences. Something about the image is sweaty and more than a little bit profane to me.
Fries/Milkshake has got to go, purely for violating my sense of decorum.
Milkshake and fries is amazing. Milkshake is roughly the consistency of ketchup, so if you can dip your fries in ketchup you are certainly capable of doing so with a milkshake.
Wendy’s frosty and fries was like a staple for every kid I knew when we were growing up.
Taking nice apple pie and putting cheese on top is for heathens.
When I first read "Milkshake is roughly the same consistency of ketchup", I didn't want to believe it. On reflection, though, I think you're right.
I think the temperature differences still creep me out a little bit, but I wanted to ask -- what flavour milkshake is best with fries?
A good vanilla or chocolate milkshake is best, in my opinion. I prefer chocolate myself. No need for the m&m oreo caramel marshmallow whatever crazy option. If you’re doing that, just have the milkshake.
EDIT: and as for the temperature difference, well, that’s part of the beauty of it. Hot fries and cold ice cream. Works better than you think!
